My custom intake plenum

Well I've heavily modified two turbo intake plenums in the past.

Here is my project I've been brewing for a LONG time finally starting to come together.

Flange ready to be machined for injectors/fuel rail. I was going to use a hacked off stock flange but I didn't like the abrupt transition.

Nothing is going to be stock on this. I'm ditching the stock flange as I didn't like the transition. This is a completely custom manifold.

Lol so where ya get that flange from. The flange from hybridz I saw is very expensive and had injector ports in it and was very thick. Meant to go as a part of another group of parts I didn't have the wallet to purchase

My flange was cut on a water jet and will be beveled and machined for the injectors. The fuel rail will bolt to the flange to hold the injectors down.

Hopefully I'll have some pics in the near future with the fuel rail and injectors. After that she'll get welded together. Just trying to figure out how I want to finish it. Polished, anodized, powder coated, etc...
