- in todays video i cover the steps involded in taking a factory GM LS truck intake manfiold and smoothing it down for a nice cleaner look.
For any questions feel free to leave a comment down below.
Materials used/ supply
-Sand paper grits used : 80 , 180, 220,320 amzn.to/38mbV5Z ( best paper in my opinion)
-Soldering iron for melting the plastic
-guide coat ( optional) amzn.to/3kcgzGb
-primer ( i used high heat)
-paint
-hacksaw or oscillating tool to cut plastic
-body filler amzn.to/38mbBUP

Pretty cool. I was wondering about how well it will hold up to 15Lbs or more of boost after removing the little ribs.
they go pop
@@stutzyroll0303 Yes, they do. I've seen it happen now. Fortunately, my intake is still in it's full ugly intactness. Been driving my single turbo 5.3 1990 Sierra for one month. It's fantastic
Being that it's made of glass filled nylon, I highly doubt that this would last more than a few heat cycles before de-laminating, let alone hold up to any amount of boost. even plastic welding would have poor adhesion due to the high glass fill content.
Where did you put all the hose and sensor plug ports?
Good
I just saw this for the first time, I'm now 7-8 videos deep into my research. One thing nobody is discussing - what's the durability? One person said he's gone 2000 miles (which is nothing) another guy said he's running 10 lb of boost but that doesn't mean he ran it for any length of time. I'd be doing this on a test manifold before my daily driver...
Any testimonials?
Havnt ran it yet. But i wouldnt see why there would be any problems 👍
@@Wrenchlife604 thanks for the reply, the manifold looks terrible so I fully support the mods. I'm thinking of plastic welding 1, applying a plastic epoxy 2 and adding some variety of fiberglass or metal screen before the epoxy hardens 3 to fully reinforce the manifold. After putting in all the time & energy it's a job I only want to do once.
That all depends on the quality of the weld, it is welding after all.
That’s bad ass
Looks good
👍👍thanks
Thank you
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what openings not to close when doing this project. I am doing an LS swap into a 78 Regal. Do I need the port that has a hose from it to the valve cover? What else would I need? Every video I look at, it seems like everyone fills the whole thing.
Depends what you choose to delete or not. The hose from the pcv/valve cover to intake manifold is needed inorder for the crank case to breath. If u block it off on the manifold. You can run small breather/air filters on the valve cover. You will need 1 big port on the back for the power brake booster. The rest of the ports are up to you. Look up manifold block tees, if u want a clean way to add vacuum accesorys
😂
You saved at least $800.00. Well done.
Interesting video but I don't know if I can watch much longer I've already watched 15 commercials that I've tried to skip over in this small video LOL they must know someone likes your content
Try ad blocker plus.
Do you have Instagram and if I send you a truck intake how much would you charge for this service
Not something id be able to do. Due to lack of time. Sorry. Good luck tho 👍
Bondo can be somewhat structure of strong but I would think but it would separate from the plastic over a short. Of time with heat
Loctite plastic bonder
If I was to do that much work I would just buy a black sheet metal manifold.
You loose alot low-midrange power with those
Looks good
Thanks for watching!
Does it fit in camaro?
This job requires respiratory protection. You don’t want cancer. Or sleep apnea. Or turn into the Incredible Hulk. Well I guess that last one would be cool. Carry On!
