Yes.
That intake (bad picure) was purchased from Steve Russakov.
He had it on a N/A 2.7 track car. I don't remember the whole story, but he didn't have a chance to dial the car in with it since they ended up blowing up the motor. I guess they didn't rebuild that motor (or it might have been the car that they never put back together.. I'm not sure) or decided to go with an altogether different setup/engine. I don't remember the whole story.
In any event, the intake is pretty trick if you see it in person. Individual butterflys. The throttle bodies have bosses for one extra injector per cylinder on the bottom side.
The intake was modified to accept a 951 TPS.
The linkage between the throttle bodies is there, but you have to fab up a bracket to mount the accelerator cable.
Then, what I was going to do, was to cut the oil filler down about 4", use some black silcon hose and a black cap that was drilled and tapped to accept a 1" pipe thread. The silicon with 2 hose clamps would easily hold the threaded cap on.
Then use 1" pvc up with a nipple, to a 45 to a nipple, to another 45, then up again.... to form an offset around the intake or to come up between 2 of the runners. You would then simply put on a pvc threaded cap over the new oil filler.
Nobody would even be able to see the pvc stuff since it's down under the intake...etc...
The Millage intake is super trick... but most likely not trick enough to produce more HP, or at least not much, over this fabbed up individual runner intake.
Is $4500 worth the extra couple HP of the barrel valves over the butterflys? Nope. Not if you're racing. Use the rest of the money to buy a turbo and all the other go fast goodies :-)
