I have run into a problem. My intake fits but the plenum is right against the fire wall. I have not welded the plenum onto the intake just yet. Im wondering how far from the fire wall it needs to be? Im about 2 days from scrapping the whole intake project!!

Depends how solid your mounts are. Get a big wad of Playdo or similar modeling clay and put a big wad on the back of the intake manifold touching the firewall with some cardboard under it (so it won't fall out) and go for a spirited drive, see how much smoosh there is and then add 20-30% to that figure and you should have a distance.

Not sure how close yours is but this was the 3sge in my corolla, I had a rear solid poly mount and a front rubber filled poly mount. It never hit. Also you can maybe put a stopper on your motor mount if you don't want to damage the manifold or maybe change the radius slightly.

Here is my new clearance.

I'm modifying the intake and I need some thoughts

Is this to big or should I go with this ?

Do some math on plenum volume, runner length, and the RPM you want peak power to be around.

Does it matter where the breather spout is located? Example: after or before the TB?

Kinda cause one provides just filtered air while the other provides vacuum.

I have been looking at a similar thing for my project build, but was thinking about a side feed centre feed inlet manifold.......if that makes sense, a bit like the one in this picture, but with the inlet part veering off to the passenger side.

See if I can figure out a way of doing it......need to break out the calculator.

No need to delete it. How was the intake a bust? Let's keep this thread open and keep bouncing ideas around on how to improve the intake.

the pipe and the TB together were inches away from the distributor. It was not on the car and i forgot it was going to be there. plus it should have been closer and taller. I really wanted the 2.5" TB and the intake to work. I just dont have any time to go back to the drawing board.

I would still keep it in case you do have some time in the future. Its also nice to have something that only needs slight modification to have work.

Is this a waste of time or should I go for it? The runners look a bit to long! TB does not clear the firewall

Intake is done and ready to go in tomorrow... I hope!!
Going to repaint the intake body after the Celica stencil dries.

Using this weld to add pems for the bolts. Works incredibly well.

Trying to figure out the vacuums hoses.. Huge cluster mess. Are there any write ups on the vacuums lined and where they go?

Well for the engine to run you have...

Manifold vacuum:
MAP
Brake booster
Uh I think that's pretty much it to get it driving, emissions stuff can wait.

Thanks for the info it should help. But what do I do with the stuff that I don't connect? Just cap them off?

For now yea, just get it up and running and see how it does. Evap and EGR can wait as they're not going to impact how it runs (technically EGR will but not in a negative way). I think there's a vacuum switch or air bypass for the power steering somewhere maybe and an AC idle up air bypass too, but I'm not 100%, those would be manifold vacuum as well I think. Should be OK without those, may notice an idle dip when the wheel is over hard turning tight or the AC kicks on.
