I thought he was referring to the M1 manifold and the turtle that was made for them for a while.

 

This is not to be confused with a Turtle Head, right?

 

turtles have been around for a while.. they've been used in a lot of intake manifolds.. the one that I saw for our 'kegs' was like a miniature sculpture of a mountain, for lack of better description.. it sat (was epoxied) on the belly pan.. it 'reduced' volume of the keg and 'sposedly better directed air to the outboard runners.. it makes good sense on paper, but in practice i'm thinking that there is a little more to it than a simple sloped design.. it would have to be mathematically designed with volume:flow:velocity and be reconciled with the dead pockets in that kegs corners, which would still be providing a area of high pressure.. meaning, it may work wonders at a certain RPM range and velocity/volume of air passing through it, but not for others..

gains would be nominal, if present at all is what I'm thinking.. otherwise, there would be turtles sitting in every home town weekend drag cars intakes across the nation, and everyone would know and have an opinion on them..

maybe it would be a great thing for something like a marine engine, or maybe a generator, that sits at a certain range indefinitely.. I just don't see it for cars/trucks though.

 

.....

 

That's a clean fabrication, man.. good job on it..

The one I saw looked like it started life as a chunk of clay someone whittled down into what looked like a tiny mountain.. bad description, I know, but its all I got..

Are you pleased with the results?

 

.....

 

this is the turtle i was refering to for the m1.. where can i get it?

 

I already said nobody makes them anymore...

Get a tune.

 

i have the sct tuner from hemifever but honestly there is no difference from it on and off. not even on the 93 with 93 gas. all feels the same and runs the same. and i here you on the not being made anymore. but someone might know somone who has one and would sell

 

Honestly I doubt it would make much of a difference, like was previously stated...
