intake manifold

[sinix3]

jusy wondering if anyone has made a custom intake for a klze or if they know what the best way would be. the only reason im asking is because im doing a klze swap and im having trouble locating a intake other then the de intake i have so if any one knows of a good custom intake for a non turbo klze let me know. send me a link or just om me any help would be appreciated. even if you have a klze intake i could buy. thank you

Go to the FAQ there is a PERFECT intake mod there

I think he means the intake MANIFOLD rather then the air intake. You ZE fellas need to get an intake manifold that will fit and he is having difficulty finding one besides the DE one.

I think.

ze stock : Custom fit a straight neck
No mod needed, use a millenia 2.5L intake
De Stock: k8 intake mani
de manifold 93-97
klg4 intake manifold (98-02 626 kl)
custom: ITB's W/ hyabusa or triumph throttle bodies for N/A
CZT Custom intake for F/I (good luck finding one)

im looking for which ever intake gives me the most whp from the engine lol at the moment i have a de that came with the car i bought. but i know it doesnt have the same runner sixe and theres the whole oval runners to rectangle runners that will create weird dead spots

[MrMazda92]

If you're running oval port heads, and want to "bolt it on and go", you're wanting a KLG4 intake manifold. If you have thermospacers, you can use any Throttle body you want. If not, use the KL47 from a Millenia, as it's the closest fit(requires the least modification)

[sinix3]

No i have a klze with ze heads so i want the rectangle ports thats why i dont want to use a de intake because it wouldn't give me the most air flow

[MrMazda92]

Ah, well the straight-neck nets you the highest gains without modification. Of course, fitting it requires modification of other engine bay components. You're limited by how hard you're willing to work for it... A carefully ported straight-neck(not just bigger ports) will net impressive gains, but it'll take some work to make it fit.

whoops

I have me problem modifying things. I love a challange so what you saying is if i can fin one a straight neck. But or the mean time i think i found a millenia until i can find a klze straight neck. Thank you for the help

[MrMazda92]

The Millenia IM is the most common choice, as it's the easiest to fit.

With any IM, removing casting marks on the inside is always a good idea, try not to enlarge any of the ports in either the runners or the neck unless you're aware of exactly what you are messing with.

Clean up the edges, maybe smooth out imperfections, and avoid damaging any gasket mating surfaces. Polishing isn't a bad idea, although many will say to avoid overly polishing the runners of the manifold. In my case, I'm avoiding polishing the bottom 2" of the IM, just as a "buffer zone" if you will, to avoid harming the engine's ability to atomize fuel properly. It'd probably be safe to do most of the intake, and I dare say polish the hell out of the plenum if you have the time and tools!!!

For fitting the straightneck, there are basically 4 approaches that are semi-widely known. If you need help finding them, I'd be happy to dig a few up for you. I know there is one in the V6 FAQ, which was written by wytbishop, and it's a pretty straight forward method.

i found a millenia intake but it doesnt have the vris pieces(not sure the exact name) are they crossable from other itakes? or do i have to find the ones off of a millenia

[MrMazda92]

I can't verify that one 100%, but I've heard that you can use the ones from a K8...

[sinix3]

Alright thank you. Im almost done my klze rebuild

[MrMazda92]

Nice man

Congratulations! Is it your first KL?
