Oh.... its there. Just have to remove a little material....

 

LOL!!!

What are you going to use for the shaft and blade?

 

Hows the air gonna get through that? How much did that block cost and how much is the machine shop gonna charge you and finally total costs?

 

Shaft, drill rod steel. Hardened after machining. Blade solid brass.
Ill post progress soon as I get my CAD finalized.

 

finally, someone taking it to the next level. Now I want a 105mm.

 

Looks good. When is it going in?

 

Sounds good. What intake manifold are you gonna use?

I had often though about CNCing out an adapter or a full throttle body that has a large 90mm or so blade, but then tapes down to 78 behind the blade. The theory being that with the blade shaft not being an obstruction at the 78mm bore, it should flow much higher. Maybe you could taper the rear portion down to fit the 90mm intakes.

 

He owns his own shop. He uses lasers, hince his user name. It's also his shop name IIRC.

 

If he's gonna cut through that block with a laser!

Judging from his site, I think the laser is used more for plastics, laminates and other meltables. I have a sneaking suspicion he's got a CNC or two hiding somewhere in his shop though. Nothing wrong with milling them out the old fashioned way, but id be DAMN impressed to see a beam of light cut through 4 inches of aluminum and then stop before going right through (ie mounting flange).

 

I want a cutting laser....sounds like i could get into some trouble with it though.

 

Old Bridgeport V2XT CNC. My favorite toy. Been broke down for about 8 months and I just got it fixed $$$$. Just use it for in house repairs and stuff like this. Lasers cut plastic for a living.

 

Yup, there's a reason those CNC parts are so expensive.

Good luck on the project!

 

Life would be much less complicated and time consuming by just making a thin adapter to mount a 90 or 105mm Accufab 'Stang unit. They can be found polished for $200.

Of course, if your objective is simply custom/'one-off', to ya...

 

that's music to my eyes. Definately keep us posted!

 

Well......... I was nearly done with it. Our digital camera has seemed to walk away. Anyway.. then I started thinking. Why not, say.. 200mm. Its nearly done and probably not what you might think. Does not look like a coffee can. Stay tuned (for whoever gives a crap). Pics soon.

 

200mm? Why? lol That's beyond over-kill for even the largest ci LSx based engine available.

 

"beyond over-kill".......... I like it. But seriously.. 4 inline 50's. Sit atop the sheet metal manifold. Sweet.

 

Why go half-way with four units when you could just make a much more beneficial individual runner system (individual intake runner and throttle body per cylinder). It'd be even more 'sweet' looking, I might add

 

That's what Im talkin' about. One piece billet. Could build an individual runner but I have a different plan.

 

i don't see the point of this mess.
