Icehouse Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Since you wouldn't sell me your mani I was force to build my own :D Its not quite done I got all the welding done I just want to shave off some of the pointless stuff I don't need. I've had the N42 L6 mani in my shed for like 4 years! I figured it was time to get it done :D Hopefully I will have more updates as the project continues. JEFF WINS!! Quote Link to comment

Cuts metal like mad Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 The photos don't work... Dammit jeff! Thats awesome! Been wanting to do one like that for as long as I've been into 510s... Why you gotta do that? Now I want one even more... Good work bro. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 What are you going to put that in? I thought you hated L motors! Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I don't know :D put it back in my shed probably :D haha I actually want to use the KA efi system on an L series just for fun :) How cool would it be to have an SAFC2 hooked up to a L series!!! P.S I hate carbs!!! P.P.S that last not was for Hainz :D Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'm pretty sure I will pick up where I left off with my last 510, with the new one. Once my truck is on the road with SR, I plan to megasquirt and turbo an L motor in my 510. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Jeff, here's another along the same lines: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/carbL20BEFIhomemadefrom280intake.jpg[/img]"] Some of the 280 manifolds change shape and have a bend in the middle. One is straight and works better. Is this what you used? Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 That is an L18E manifold. I had one for my last 510. Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I am having intake envy! :eek: Very nice Icehouse:cool: Quote Link to comment

Thats the cheater one :D hey I'm a tottal Ratsun guy, I would rather get a free L6 mani and spend all day making it work than buying a mani :D Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 thanks guys :D Thats the cheater one :D hey I'm a tottal Ratsun guy, I would rather get a free L6 mani and spend all day making it work than buying a mani :D and the cheater one dont flow so great Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'm with you on that Iceman. The one you are making out of the N42 is a much better manifold. The L18E is tiny in the runners and the plenum is horrible in design. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 and the cheater one dont flow so great I'm with you on that Iceman. The one you are making out of the N42 is a much better manifold. The L18E is tiny in the runners and the plenum is horrible in design. I don't know how well mine is going to flow either.... Maybe it will need some sort of device to help out the flow :D Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Maybe something to push the intake charge into the head? Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Maybe something to push the intake charge into the head? Yeah like a leaf blower or something :D Forced induction is nice thats for sure! Quote Link to comment

Dont forget who has your car :fu: It won't come apart for a project like that until it is ready to be installed. I plan I driving it ratty with the LZ20 for quite a while. Carbs are my biggest complaint about L series. Me too!! Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Me too!! I know it doesn't seem as much like a datto when you can't smell gas all the time but EFI is so nice on a daily driver!! Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I know it doesn't seem as much like a datto when you can't smell gas all the time but EFI is so nice on a daily driver!! I'm about to find out. The truck will be EFI :) Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 i wish i had the stuff to make one of my own man.. i've wanted to efi the 620 for ages now Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Maybe it will need some sort of device to help out the flow :D :frantic wave: i have a device...a carbed L motor :P :lol: send it down :D why was it necessary to cut into 3 pieces? i though it was cut the center out and reconnect? (is it due to the 'cheater' style?) Quote Link to comment
