Beautiful ITB/IR intake for GT2 American LeMans Program Hi Guys,
I thought that you might want to see some progress on the GT2 Corvette ALMS car. This is a new manifold is being developed by Kinsler and will be a different set up for the LS7 vs LS3. We will be running the LS3 due to homoligation issues with trying to get the LS7 approved in 6.0L form in a C6, not a C6Z.
The final product will have bolt up flanges on each runner to make an air tight seal to the plenum so the series can do a "Stall" test to make sure that all the air goes through the restrictors with no leaks.
I will keep you up to date on further developments as we get them.
Thanks guys.

Louis, that thing is SWEET!! I always loved the look of 'cross-ram' IR/ITB intakes, going waaayyy back to the C2 Duntov engineered factory race (code named Z06??) Vettes (and yes, I know those were Weber carbs on their intakes).
And yeah, inlet restrictors SUCK!!

Is that the Kinsler Setup that we were told about along time ago? James Kinsler (Argon Z) posted mock up pics, but never let us see it finished. It looks like on the second picture the furthest right runner has "SLER" cast in it. It is damn sweet none the less.
Oops I just saw the other thread that Argon Z started, so my question is answered.

yes, this is the same intake James has been working on for a while. We will have the first handful for this program, so its highly unlikely that pics will be shown once it leaves kinsler.
As for price, that is yet to be determined, however what will be availible to the public will not be the same as our requirements differ from a street based envelope. Upwards of 10-15k with the carbon runners, carbon enclosure, restrictors and remaining airbox.

Actually he kind of took offense to our assumption of $10k+ for the intake...
"Our manifold is NOT $10,000. It is about half of that.
Our cross ram manifold has two injector locations. Both aim in the correct direction. The high location is for better air to fuel mixture/atomization. This injector has a compound angle that follows the center line of the runner. The lower injector also follows the center of the runner (8 degrees off parallel.)
We are machining the manifold NOW and should be available in a few weeks.
Keep in mind the below pictures do not show fuel rails, paint, or linkage.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks

Reread what I wrote:
Our carbon air box, inlet restrictors, balance tube and other pieces add up. The engine for ths program is priced at 71k. You guys forget the cost of engineering, fabrication, and design work. Raw materials are not the only cost, and kinsler is not in this business to go bankrupt.
Expect a typical Cross ram IR/ITB to be priced about the same as the other stuff they offer. James will respond to this thread Im sure, but he is on his way back from PRI.
