How does one go about making a custom intake manifold?
I'm thinking a spare Manifold can be cut up... merged with e46 M3 or something custom and ugly
Can anybody confirm how the airflow goes in our intake:
- Air box to throtle body, which sits lot in the intake. Why does it go down low from airbox?
- From the Throttle body, air moves up into the DISA/ non DISA acutators
- From DISA it moves into the air inlets for the engine.
Thoughts on Custom:
Take non DISA 128i becuase it has no actuator motors & only one sensor:

130i http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...;amp;amp;fg=40
See if Throttle body can be moved
Cut up to from the very least after the throttle body merge with e46 M3 or custom box

Theres a guy in the uk, mainly on babybmw, that has a full custom ITB setup but it has to run on an aftermarket ecu - mad sound and power though lol
Problem with it is the valvetronic system, have to lock it to full lift and get something to properly control the new intake system/ throttle bodies
