Rusty,

Thanks for your opinion. Since your byline says you may need a Renesis intake - I was wondering if you know if the bolt and/or port patterns are different on a 4 port Renesis than other 4 port 13B engines?

Does anyone have experience or an opinion of the Atkins side draft intake manifold. I am considering using this with a TWM throttle body.

Hi Joe,

It will certainly work, but it's not optimum by any means. It's sort of a one-size-fits-all approach, which just leaves a port big enough to cover a 4 port, or 6 port housing. It's probably better for a 6 port than a 4 IMO. I've tested one, and it worked fairly well. Ed's tried one in the past, and Paul is using one now. Perhaps there are others.

Cheers,

Rusty (may need a Renesis intake now)
