What is this intake off of? How did they rotate the Plentium?

Hey guys,

On the stinger page, I found some unusual intake set-ups. First, the lower intake is earlier model 2.3, but what's that upper plentium off of? It's here: http://www.stinger-performance.com/Pics/RotatedNPR2.jpg It almost looks like a Nissan plentium

Then, it's the same drill on the lower, but how did he/they rotate the factory upper here: http://www.stinger-performance.com/Pics/Rotated4.jpg
He calls it a 120* rotated intake. What did he do; just cut it, reweld it, and then grind on it? Man, what a hassle that must have been. Is there like an adapter plate or something?

Upper plenum on the first pic is hand made, not off of anything. Rotating the upper, if iirc, is done by cutting a wedge out of it so it will still sit "level" when welded back together at the desired rotation point. Probably not that difficult if you have access to a bandsaw and a tig....or you could just buy one here:

Thanks for the reply,

So...is the older style lower intake the more desirable unit to run? I swear my 88 lower intake doesn't look like what is in those pictures. I could be wrong.

The inline and 4 square(later) intakes are about even, I've read that one may make more torque, but so will turning up the boost. So don't hurt yourself trying to get an older inline intake unless you just want to make the custom upper plenum.

hey mpfmax did you get your tranny yet???
