Racing Gasoline Engine Intake Manifold Design
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I'm seeking a skilled designer with experience in creating intake manifolds specifically for high-performance gasoline engines used in racing.
Key Requirements:
- Design an intake manifold that enhances engine performance, considering aspects like airflow, fuel distribution, and weight.
- Familiarity with racing specifications and standards is a plus.
- Prior experience in designing components for gasoline engines is essential.
In this project, I need a professional who can combine engineering principles with creative thinking to design an intake manifold that can withstand the rigors of racing while delivering optimal performance.
This will be based on a popular engine, the inline Jeep 4.0 I6 but converted to Individual Throttle Bodies. It is for a stroker engine, stroked to 4.6L, torrington bearing, custom made roller cam with roller rockers, Edelbrock head, etc and more, in a custom restomod Cherokee- lowered, full interior redone, etc for a YouTube build. If you care, I will DEFINITELY give you a shout out, as this is the only part that has me stumped. My friends and I have played around with 3d modeling in Fusion and Sketchup, but not like this before.
I've attached pics of the OEM intake and a photoshop mockup if whats needed. So the OEM cylinder head and intake has rectangular ports, the BMW M3 ITB's are round, obviously. This is where I'm having the issue. I could go full on new intake that gradually turns from rectangular to round with appropriate spacing to match ITB'S and fuel injection holes, etc, or cut/machine that manifold and have an adapter designed/made to do the conversion, there for keeping the injector bungs.
I'm game for either way to be real honest. Adapter was my first choice to keep the OEM spacing and injector ports, but if designed from scratch? Maybe all new is better. We can talk about it. And obviously I can send you as many pics, measurements, etc that would be needed. Got a Jeep? Want a manifold? I can send ya one, measurements are easier with a piece in hand.
