Modifying
2nd Gen Intake to work on GSL-SE
This is
not a complete step by step guide, but will give you an idea of what is involved
As we know, engines love air, lots of
air, so the more we can get it, the more power we can make.
Here are some of the differences between the 2 units
 |
The complete 2nd Gen
intake I will mod
to fit onto the GSL-SE Block |
 |
1st gen - 40 mm
primary throat
and 2 - 36 mm secondary
throats
2nd gen - 45 mm primary throat
and 2 - 45 mm
secondary throats |
5.1sq in -1st
7.4sq in -2nd
31% increase
in flow area |
|
 |
2nd and 1st gen
intake runners
30mm primaries on both 1st and 2nd
36mm secondary on 1st gen
38mm secondary on 2nd gen |
5.3sq in -1st
5.7sq in -2nd
7% increase
in flow area |
|
 |
2nd Gen spacer on top
of
1st Gen spacer to show size difference |
 |
GSL-SE gasket on 2nd
gen lower intake
mounting holes line up, as do secondary intakes
primary size appear to be same size just moved down a
bit
would require grinding a filling - not to bad of a
job
also squareport needs to be filled |
 |
gasket moved down to
show position for primaries |
 |
just about same size
holes for secondary
|
 |
primaries very close
in size - must be to keep velocity up |
|
|
Ok now
that we have seen the challenge, lets create a conversion
Project to be started soon!
