Thanks for the compliments, guys. I've got a lot more coming, too (wait until you see my little exhaust project).
Anyway, some more updates. I rocked out the PAIR block-off plates:

So much cleaner. These were the easiest parts to create yet, just needed a fixture, blank prep, and final cutout stage. I plan on having these anodized as well.
Next up is the throttle body runner plate...

Here we go again...
In order to maximize the efficiency of the intake, a custom throttle body adapter plate will be made to exactly match the runner geometry. I start with a blank, then cut it to length and face both sides so it ends up at the final thickness:

After lots of chips and with the help of some special endmills, we end up with tapered runners and fully radiused inlets:

Back when I made the Kawi parts, I designed the TB adapter fixture to accept any adapter plates I could possibly come up with, regardless of bore size & spacing. Thus, after clamping the fixture and mounting the part, I'm able to machine the bottom side. BTW, I actually had a custom endmill made to put the little ring around the runners (which gives the silicone connectors something to bite onto).

I'd say it's a pretty good match. The bores are much bigger than the 10R.

One more part done. I'm quickly running out of stuff to machine...

YEAH, WHAT HE SAID!!!!:thumbup
:cheers Very nice work
let me know if you will make the plenum base seperate, and can modify the design for different throttle spacings and velocity stack length

I second that ! I got a set of his pulleys, very nice. The clearance for his Output shaft is amazing. I am just waiting on a Bracket. He is a great guy, and stuff was shipped to me extremely fast up to Canada. He has given me lots of advice, and i can't say enough good things about his Company. Honestly if i could have done it again.... I would never build my own kit. Just buy his, its that much better than my system. and didn't take two years and double the money ! Buy it and ride it. dont spend the whole time trying to design your own.
