RE: Possible new style intake for 2.3
damn if only we knew what taht was off of, i want one now. If you were going to cut the end off and weld it on farther back, you could make an adpater for liek a 5.0 75mm tb or one of those dual port 4.6 tbs. are teh butterflies on a shaft with like an electric switch or how are they operated? i was thinking mabe running a pressure line that forced it open at like 10lbs, or possibly a pressure activated switch, connected to a solenoid taht would open the butterlfies at whatever prsssure u had the switch set at. if you were running the boost solenoid you might be able to piggyback a switch off of that so it opened at the same time the solenoid allowed full boost.

I was going to use a air cylinder to push it open. Like said need to pressure test. May leak under boost. Doubt if it was off a turbo motor. Not saab my intake does not narrow at rear. That one looks like it couples together and mine bolts together.

RE: Possible new style intake for 2.3
I've heard the 4.6 TB's being a 'dual port' design have troubles flowing, under F/I, and usually they step to a single bore/port similar to the 5.0's.
Regardless, that intake is really hawt, and score, mg man! I would set the butterflies to pop open under 10-12lbs of boost or so.(pending on your total boost, maybe a bit less).
I think that the distr. should clear, but the alt. may not. Anyways, let us fidn out the intake origin! I wonder if it would match up to the DOHC volvo, and be a killer setup. I wonder how hard it would be, to setup a new fuel rail?

Get me those part #'s off of the intakes? That will solve this. We will just google the part #'s, and get some results. Maybe it is off of the 8v turbo volvo 4cyl, from like 89-94? It could be that, because it looks really similar to the 16v volvo head, just a larger port, maybe. Just eyeing it, maybe they would match, if you ported the head ports and runners.
