    One more for tonight. This pic shows the support plate on the inside of the plenum for the blowoff valve.

    This is what happens when a transmission technician builds an intake manifold. :tongue:

    I did a rough calculation of the intake plenum volume including the lower and upper sections, and it came out to around 250% of the total engine cylinder displacement.

    The injector boss hold down plates extend over the intake gasket to help support it in case it has any ideas of blowing out.

    Injectors in place and the air bleed plumbing routed tightly between the injectors and the nitrous nozzles.

    Wow. Nice work. I dont know that much about nitrous, but those look like some big jets. Did you make this yourself or have it fabricated?

    All with my own hands.
    You can't judge a nitrous jet by that top opening. The actual feed orifice is down deep in the jet. Generally, the number stamped on the jet is the size of the orifice in thousandths of an inch. One .030" nitrous jet is good for around 50hp.
