ford racing intake manifold with novi 2200

[degmidget]

With the novi 2200 the coolant trumpet that comes with the paxton hits the intake manifold. Has anyone dealt with this and how do you make it work? I started sanding the coolant elbow down but its not even close. Really need some help

I've seen material removed from the manifold itself. How about a custom welded elbow?

How much off the mani tho? Anyone have pictures?

Also does the tb electronics hit the blower?

pm LAstang. he ran that manifold with his v3 kit. should be the same. did some grinding I know. i'll link the thread in here if I can find it

I had the same problem with my intake .. I had to dremel some of the intake to make it work..

This shows how a friend cut the FRPP intake on his car. This approach needs to be taken with the FRPP intakes on 05-06.






The thermostat housing on 07-10 to clear an FRPP intake needs a different approach. If anyone is interested of have detailed pictures of how I eliminated the Vortech thermostat housing spacer?

^ im interested to see as I want a novi 2200 for my 07, and honestly would get the intake mostly because it looks so clean with a centri blower setup

Not to hijack the thread, here you go. This is illustrated with a Vortech SC but I understand the Paxton uses the same spacer.

Vortech SC’s come with a spacer that relocates the thermostat housing outlet a few degrees clockwise. The spacer is ½” thick and accordingly raises the thermostat housing height ½”. With the spacer installed the intake manifold simply sits on the thermostat housing and does nor seat on the heads.

Vortech Spacer:



FRPP Intake will not seat because of Vortech Spacer increasing the height of the T-Stat Housing:

Wow he cut the hole where the bolt goes! I figured there is something you can do with the trumpet looking thing to make it work, or get a new piece made.

U have a totally different housing if you look at the other pics posted thats what I have!

I figured someone has modified a housing or has had one made or bought one so I dont have to tear up my manifold.
