V12 Intake Swap?

[Holland]

In for results.

Wow, old ass thread but awesome that someone test fitted it. I moved onto a 24V swap so I never followed through. Its really cool that someone finally did it. Interested in the results.

Looks decent, you going to run it?

Thanks decent is what i was shooting for lmao and hell yeah im gonna run it. It wasnt built to look at

[SmokeE30]

Wasn't sure if it was just bolted on to see how it looks/if it could work. But then again why paint it if not gonna keep it on there.

Keep us posted on what throttle body and intake boot and icv stuff you use. And just to be clear did the intake bolt right up without modification?

[whodwho]

Seems like it would interfere with the booster/master cylinder area?

Looks like you could also use the other side manifold and flip it and may help with clearance? But wouldn't have the pretty BMW side showing tho :)

[Perry Wilson]

Not running a booster. Straight mc. And no it was cut and welded together
i intake flange cut of stock manifold. Runners cut on v12 intake then welded to the flabfe

Holy thread resurrection, Batman...

Although, it was resurrected properly. Cool retrofit. Let's see some numbers!

[SlamedIAm]

Never saw this thread originally, great bump. Very interested in how this works out.

^ I LOL'ed. I may have spit on myself a little.

I see a few opportunities for a supercharger. Maybe on top - or tucked under?

what size are the runner entry and exit? and how long are they?

[Perry Wilson]

what size are the runner entry and exit? and how long are they?

They are the same size top and bottom amd the inside diameter is the exact same size and shape as the i manifold runners. Dont remember the length off the top of my head ill.measure when i get back home next week.

And sorry guys i meant flange stupid phone

other than looking cool how would this benefit? Anybody have any science based hp/torque gain ideas? I kinda wana do a "I" stroker at some point and this would be a cool addition to the engine if its actually worth it.

Havent had time to run.numbers yet. But it has potential for increasing volumetric efficiency by increasing flow rate and pattern to the head. Time will tell
