Tipical from Dyers, they would make a blower fit on any type application, whether it would work or not that's another story!..

Probably not very well.

Well now that you mention it, I've seen quite a few and they didn't work for shit, it was all about the cool factor not performance!..

If that was a natural asperated set-up it wouln't work for shit but being it is presurized and asuming it is for a car, the gravitational and presure forces should make it work just fine. Now it would be cool to actually have a chance to compare with a different manifold just to see. Just a thought !!!

That manifold would SUCK as a blower manifold. The fuel distribution to the rear "four" would be nothing less than a pain in the ass to tune. The front four would get all the fuel. Like GF said, they didn't work for shit.

I don't even think it would work that good as a hat injection deal, even with the nozzles down on the runners the front half would be robbing most of the air!.. :confused:

Look at the feed to 4 & 8 specifically. :rolleyes: Even with the clearance intentions in mind, the plenum could have been designed a lot better than that.
It started life as an Offy SCJ Turbo-Thrust tunnel ram intake/lower half (less plenum). Observe:

The pic's I added are of one of two lower intakes that will be modifed for blower application. they ain't gonna look nothing like the top photo, though. BBF's are known for usually being tall as hell when blown; our manifolds won't be much taller than what the lower intake already measures as is. Converting the runners into a plenum is a big job, but it has worked great in the past.
I'l probably post a "show & tell" of the T/R intake being modifed to blower intake when it's done...for anyone that wants to duplicate it.
