Re: 3sge intake manifold modification for rwd application

First off, I have the same motor (JDM Gen2 3SGE) that I'm also converting to RWD, so just that mere fact allows me to pontificate at length about my experience with this situation, despite the fact that I've never had the thing running yet...
ok, anyway, now that we've got the groundwork set out for my advice... I took the manifold off my motor, and unlike the turbo motors with twin runners and TVIS shit at the port, the N/A motors don't have the TVIS, and they have a single non-divided runner per cylinder. What would happen if you canned the crazy-action part of the manifold? Probably not a devastating change of operation in any way...
I've seen pictures of the Fraser cars with inverted pleinums - looks like the stock manifold was cut on a bandsaw, then had the runners flipped over and rotated 180 degrees, and a bit of fudge-work in the middle and a new flange...
