NUBWORKS ABA LRI Intermanicooler AWIC build.

[jettred3]

Take a good look at the LRI, I am having fabricated. Long runners similar to the USRT unit I could not afford. This should really wake up my Built ABA w/ 270 cam, and sealed airbox with cold air feed and velocity inlet in the lower grille.

original thread.

I cannot wait till this is finished.

Also going on this motor, is a polished G60 Valve cover, t3/t4 .50 cold side. .63 hot side. and LRI dual plenum manifold w/ integrated AWIC with icebox and Bosch cobra Pump.

Will be using C2's 42lb. fueling kit.






I cannot take credit for the fabrication.

Updates, I am going with a larger plenum, IAC provision, and 1.8t IAT sensor.

Should have the manifold installed by December.

Alright dude.... check it out... With the new bit, I had to stack the welds, and make some meat around the runners.... 5 passes around each pipe! In order to do that, you gotta weld, then let cool, weld then let cool, or i would warp it all to hell, took me about 2 hours! But you can see the stacking in the pictures, and the last pic with the new bit... gonna try and port tomorrow night

Alright... did about 3 passes on each.... broke the bit on the last one.... ****in arm is bleeding.... you owe me!!!! lol Anyway i figured that was a sign to stop.... i ordered 2 bits when i ordered so were ok still.... i still have another 1/2" to lower the bit, so they should really grow in size when i lower it! ill try and do some more in the morning! Have a good thanksgiving man

[jettred3]

got new runners on and plenum plate on..... gonna drill and do all the plate welding tomorrow after work

great news, thanks for the update.

Used a 3/8"plate this time, and bigger welds! Gonna try and get it drilled out today

Sweet!...... Dude, i didnt get **** done today on your manifold..... I can tell you all the reasons in the world, and im not makin stuff up either, i have some bad luck!! Anyway saturday i should make good progress on it..... Also for taking so damn long, and i really hate it. Ill do that vband stuff free of charge.

Thanks Justin.

Dude!! Check it out!!! Couple little spots I need to fix... The mouths are 3" diameter!

The pics below are from someone elses build but we will design something similar, mostly Justin not me...

AWIC intake manifold for ABA motor
MUST use the ABF alternator setup
core is from Bell, rated for 400+whp
$800 shipped

Thinking of doing something similar

Any thoughts

Holy hell the build/weld qaulity is top notch, you sir are an amazing welder/fabricator

The welder/ fabricator is Justin McDonald / aka nubvr.

[QUOTE=jettred3]

cool, ill let you know when it gets here..... Im not touching that core untill we make a firm decision

Me thinks that we need to first take about 1.25 inches out of the runners length at the bottom of the runners near the intake flange.

Its a step back to make future progress much easier, fitment wise.

Then build it similar to this picture below, maybe a small D shaped plenum connected to another plenum like the one on the first ABA manifold you built with the core inside.

SOME INSPIRATION THE ONE BELOW IS WILD



[B]Just another couple design cues:[/B]

[jettred3]

Made some real progress last night on the boost plumbing, still need my intake manifold for final mockup.

Looks awesome so far

[alex gee]

My only concern would be clearance off the frame rails?? Looks like its about of the exact level.

[cool white98]

reason for the mani flipped that direction?wg getting dumped throught the hood? that would be cool to see! intake should be pretty damn cool!!

I thought about dumping the wastegate out the hood, I will swap the manifold over the right way.

I just need another silcione conncector, the instake plumbing does not fit quite right without the manifold flipped.

[jettred3]

Just a rough sketch, but thats the idea I'm hoping for.

Your pretty damn good at drawing too, but that looks like a smart setup...should fit without any clearance issues with the hood as long as its on a tight angle like you sketched

[Harry Sax]

in this picture, you will not be able to run the vac ports and IAT where you have them, they would be in the core itself and not the plenum. need to roll them on down to the plenum proper.

Just a rough sketch, but thats the idea I'm hoping for.

Looks like a good application for laminova cores.

Too costly, unless you have a hook up somewhere.

[jettred3]

So.... got some pics. IC is big, just like i thought it was gonna be. When i recomended the IC we picked, it was based on the first pics you showed me, from bulldogger.... with the core in front of the runners. So keep that in mind when we figure out what were doing!

First pic, just for size compare and layout, there is about 1/2" i can go down

angled a little... notice where still really high! Measurment is from bottom of the head, it is also sitting flat on the table, not at angle like the block

I'm hoping we can chop the core down a bit, or I may just get him another core to work with.

Which core do you think would be best for this application?

[nubVR]

Most of this build is takin place at my work...... Nubworks is all torn apart right now and I have no power yet! Hense no beers in the pictures, sorry to disappoint!

[nubVR]

It's Friday...... No work, Let's have some beers tonight

[speeding-g6O]

oh ya. and for hillbilly fabworkers like us, we seem to do alright in the guessing game.

and it is really a true statement that its hard to build to fit if the car isnt there.

Found some domed end caps for the plenum...

Orderd 4 of these caps today and 2 plates for under 40 bucks, a steal in my books considering all other sources had a $100.00 order minimum.

[Pat @ Pitt Soundworks]

I'm curious why'd you decided on using round plenum end caps?

i bet your gonna get alot of "hey is that a veee-arrrrr" lol

Fixed

[Pat @ Pitt Soundworks]

I don't see them doing anything benifital. You're not going to be pushing the limits of flat stock on that little area. If you're worried about surface restriction, upper and lower plenum walls are closer than the side plates, and volume increase is almost nill, you have all the space in the ic, as well as before the ic to draw from.

I think its just overcomplicating things.

wrong train of thought. you got a 3" cap, which is 3" in DIAMETER.

you would need something at least 6" DIAMETER, which would be a 3" radius.

you need to cut the dome in half to even come close to using it there, ths it would need to be bigger. plus, the sides are larger yet, no?

i havent been by to see it in person in awhile, but i dont see 3" dome doing anything there.
