ok, i decided to use this intake and carb on my new motor, today i started to port and polish it. i decided to go stealth on the nitrous and also save a 1/2 inch on the height,,,,so instead ot a NOS plate or nozzles, see what i came up with. Im going to get this bead blasted tomorrow.




i started with an old moroso Q-jet NOS plate and worked with it a little.


just a little more polishing

WOW!! You sneaky lil bastard :eek: LoL
How do you plan on hiding the nitrous hose??
Thats a really slick idea tho!!

Now THIS would be awesome, totally hidden. I know guys running this system and they are running the solenoid in their doors. :lol:

Titanium Rat

wonder how much that setup would cost?

Great intake choice.. I'm running a Tarantula (TM-1) with is a Torker with bigger runners... and ... check my sig for my performance :D :D

:iagree: I am running an original Torquer that has had some work done on it, I am very happy with it, just remember that your hp will really come on at a higher rpm level than with the dual plane. I think that porting a matching will be key to your success with this intake on your engine.
On mine it is the happy face that MM carved into the bottom of it that added the additional 40 hp. :thumbs:

i'm building a 3*3*4 box out aluminum to house/hide the solenoids and i will run the NOS line into the box, then cover the line with rubber fuel line hose.

ok, got it back from the beadblaster, yesterday and just need to polish it up a bit more, then do a nice port job on the heads, and she will be ready to go

Very nice job on the spray bars but before you use that intake you need to reshape the common wall on intake runners.



When they are knife-edged like they are now the fuel is thrown to the adjancent wall and you end up with a puddleing problem that really hurts performance. You want to shape the ends of the runners to look like the forward edge of an airplane wing so the air/fuel will flow along the wall rather then get pushed away from it.

:cry that took a while to get it like that..........is the runner in the pic below too much,,,,,,or should i have just left it stock and polished it,,,,,now if i just round them out a little and keep it tapered,will that work, ok? or did i just spend a lot of time on junking my intake

Looking at the picture, the runner on the left looks good, consistant thickness from top to bottom. The runner on the right looks like it gets thicker on the top and would need some work to even it out. The front edge of the left runner is about what you want them to look like. You should be able to round them over with a sanding roll to get rid of the taper and knife-edge. Don't take out any more material then you need to. You want to runner wall to be as long as possible at the floor of the plenum.

very cool setup :cheers:

Titanium Rat

well, there is no way to get the taper out now, if i round out the knife shape edges (from top to bottom), how well do you think this will perform?

Pete79L82

Round the front edge of the runner over the best you can. It shouldn't hurt you too much. The "wedge effect" (like a bow of a boat) only becomes pronounced at higher RPM (over 5k).

Titanium Rat

:( anyone want to buy an intake with internal NOS? :(

I did the same thing to a Victor JR out of necessity to retain hood clearance. Worked out good.

Here is a previous Torkor I ran with a hidden system. The fuel and nitrous lines exited behind the carb incased in heater hose.
