Almost 90 percent of you guys are on Facebook so I don't post my work on here much anymore but I do try to keep the build thread all up to date.
For those who haven't seen what I have been working on for the EW series and D15aX series (same thing) I wanted to shoot a couple photos on here. Along with the intake adapters I also am currently working on a specific cam gear built for these engines, pulleys, headers, and a few other parts.
These adapters utilize billet aluminum, a few special fasteners, and some conflicting hole plates to mount these all up. There is more than adequate 3D port blending for optimal flow and are gasket matched. I recommend that the user port matches the intake adapter to the cylinder head for best flow yet it still works without any porting.
We have done testing to check for clearances and we had only one long intake have any problems with clearing the firewall. That specific intake is the large d16y8 and the only clearance issue was the iacv. The firewall could easily be cleared for fitment for those specific ones. Almost all intake adapters from Skunk ect will bolt right up without an issue. The stock intake manifold is so restrictive it is hard to get any power from such a small intake. This is a quick and dirty bolt on upgrade that will compliment a new cam, header, ect. DELTA CAMS is offering a 272 grind to match.
Make sure to check out all the new and great products from Cheddas Auto on facebook and the website. Below you can find a direct link to the intake adapter.
