I know Clint wanted some pictures so I snapped a few with my phone. All of the parts will be finished tomorrow if everything goes according to plan, hehe. The plenum inlets didnt photograph very well but there is a nice radius on them. In the pic it almost looks as if it has a chamfered edge. The last pic is of the cnc cutting in the o-ring grooves. I'll take some more pictures with a good camera once I get everything all cleaned up prior to fitment.

Gerry....what is functionally different between this one and mine? I know you're trying to make it fit better and easier to make, but what else is going on inside it?
PS.... i did some more work on george's manifold. I'll send you some pics and measurements.

It's made with extra JDM Justin. Gerry is wearing a Mugen hat and t-shirt when he makes them so it has the power of JDM transferred to it during the fab. Don't argue, it's magic.
Thanks for the pics Gerry!!

Well Justin, Its not really changing that much. The radius inside the plenum is the same as the velocity stacks I used in your manifold. We made this piece out of 1/2" and machined some of the middle out for lightening. It makes for much less welding and easier fitment. I also moved the runner inlets off the horizontal centerline to make for a little better hood clearance and hopefully better clearance with the a/c, p/s hoses. Its dropping down to about 1/2" higher than factory instead of almost 2". The velocity stacks I used on your manifold wouldnt allow me to do that before. I actually think with the way the air enters the plenum, moving them up in the plenum may be beneficial but I dont really think there will be much difference though.

Got Clint's manifold a good part of the way done tonight. I'll have the two topmounts all set by the weekend, the N/A manifold will be the first of next week.

Yes, but there's nothing saying you can't slip a part in for the Civic every now and then when ordering stuff for Momma....

i like the box, gets pretty good gas mileage for a brick with wheels and we can throw all kinds of crap in it and still have room to drive the thing. should have seen it when we went down to NOPI in 06. lets just say it was the "pack mule" for the trip
it's black and i convinced her to get gold Rota D2s in a 17x8 setup. haven't decided on the offset yet, and she's torn between a full body kit and a lip kit that is hard to find, but she loves the way it looks. my only requirement either way was abs plastic, urethane, or the flexible fiberglass (i think it's called Duraflex or something) in case she curbs it. She doesn't plan to lower it just yet so i think she'll still have enough ground clearance all around. and the doesn't want air or i'd be hitting the guys up at AirRunner with a quickness
edit: sorry for the threadjack guys, now back to your regularly scheduled topic.

LOL, we call that a "racially inflammatory" statement Steve. Besides, it's a great excuse for us military guys and gals to go on forced savings programs!

I have a question about the intake manifold....How does this affect evap setup? Are all stock hookup's going to work..ie...vacuum, sensor, & fuel?
I really wanna get this thing it's so sweat! How much exactly shipped we talkin about? I'm thinking I can get this paid for by the end of the month.....I need more power!

From what justin/boiler has told me in person, Gerry is a perfectionist and I think it shows in his work because those manifolds that he makes are truly a thing of beauty. So you probably wont have to worry about anything with the evap setup.
Correct, Clint. I am trying to make these as bolt-on as a custom manifold can be with the exception of needing a vaccuum manifold and tweaking the IC piping a lil bit. You could pretty much pop one of these on a stock civic and very likely not throw any codes, it would lose power for sure though, hehe. Back when I was testing all kinds of ideas I found that as long as all the sensors are used and there were no vaccuum leaks the computer really didnt seem to mind. Realistically anyone buying one of these should have some way of making fuel corrections anyways so there should be no issues whatsoever from a tuning standpoint.

I'm pretty sure he only puts one vac port on them which is why we need a vac mani. As long as you have one of those, you should be fine as you can plug the evap line into the vac mani.
I'm going to swap out the oil pan tonight, as I think the oil spraying onto my DP was causing that big cloud of smoke - not the exhaust feed on the evap system. Gonna hook it back up and I'll post the results tomorrow.
