So, I made a GE manifold...
Pretty stoked on how well it came out... The ports are CNC'd and bored out a little on the ends. I was able to retain the fuse box with this design, it barely clears it! The throttle body is an 80mm, also in the picture is an FSM fuel rail and PTE injectors.
Time for GTE valve covers!

great job will this improve the lower end torque on my sc300? or is it a na-t thing only

, how much did that run you in supplies and time?

Thanks guy! I'm going to try to answer questions as I go...
as far as meth, I do plan on running it in the near future... when I do, I think I will do direct port to be safe, because the manifold isn't flow tested so I don't want to risk it.
as far as cost, It did cost me a good bit, luckily my friend has a CNC machine and we were able to CNC the flange and round out the ports with the CNC so it came out amazing on the inside, which matters the most.
as for the low end torque question, no, it will not improve low end at all, it will actually make low end and throttle response much worst. if you want low end torque, stick with the stock intake manifold! the longer and skinnier the runners are, the more low end torque you'll get, the shorter and wider the runners are, the more high end power you'll get. I'm expecting to lose a lot of low end, at the same time gaining high end. it's a trade off. and no, DO NOT use an FFIM unless you are turbo charged!
as far as building them for someone... wasn't planning on it but.. I don't see why not, just shoot me a PM.
