Default Re: FIRST PICS!! New Tundra intake manifold, dual plenum

Your PVC may flow, but what does that have to do with a manifold? I could flow a Silo from my friends farm, and i bet it would flow more than anything....but what does that have to do with manifolds. This manifold is PROVEN TO FLOW.

It bolts up to the motor just like the stock manifold does. It uses bolts, studs, and nuts as fasteners, just like stock.
This manifold was made for a Supra, so it is 3" shorter than the stock one to clear the hood. In any other swap, it will give you an extra 3" inches that you dodn't have with the stock manifold.
There is a good foot between the end of the motor and the radiator, so there is plenty of room for a Q45 TB. No it will not interfere. You could probably weld a 5" length of aluminum tube to the end of the TB and still have room left over.
A Q45 throttle body is used, so amazingly enough, a Q45 throttle body bolt pattern is machined onto a flange, and put on the front. For any other TB, that pattern would be machined onto a flange.....What kind of questions are these?
You did ask......so....
If you have looked at the various pictures of the manifold or read any of the info on it (I'm sure you have but it doesn't seem like anything has sunk in), you would know that it uses the stock runners. Therefore believe it or not the stock injectors and rails bolt up to it. The bolts that hold the stock rails in place are threaded into bungs, which you can clearly see are still there.
There is no magic or trickery with the throttle cable. The barrel of the cable will be placed in the small hole intended for it at the end of the puller wheel. The cable will then rest in the slot running along the perimiter of the pulley wheel. The cable will then run through the firewall and be connected to the accelerator pedal. If you have ever seen a Q45 throttle body used in any other car, this one will be no different.
As we've said before, this very manifold has no provisions for IAC...etc, so no wiring is needed. Vacuum fittings are supplied underneath for boost pressure, brake booster and so on. If anyone chooses to run IAC, the flange will be provided on the manifold. That will also wrap up idle issues.
I think that wraps up all your questions...If you have more ask quick 'cuz I'm on a roll.
I'm sorry if this reply seemed a bit sarcastic in nature or degrading, but if you're going to act like you have no clue, I'll treat you like you have no clue.
I wish we could all get along and support one another. None of us are "ricers", with obviously rediculous ideas or notions. We all here for the same thing, to better our motors, our cars, and our trucks. Coming on here and constantly interrogating others work or ideas does nothing to help anyone.
