Custom Supra Intake Manifold Assembly

[@Владимир_Сабиров]

This guy needs our respect. He mounted the entire assembly on the supra, then realized that he hadn’t said goodbye to his audience properly, removed all that stuff and put them on a table just to thank them for watching.

[@samsonian]

Always. I just wish Steph had special funding just to come up with more YT content! It’s easily one of my top 3 automotive/fabbing channels, but since Steph is so busy and this isn’t a source of income for his operation it doesn’t pay for him to put out much content. It sure makes the content he DOES put up YT GOLD!

Hey id love to see more of what goes into designing and making a part like this! Super cool. Thanks for sharing.

Jeez! Your level of perfection, and skill never ceases to amaze me.

[@andersjjensen]

It is really satisfying watching something get made by a very knowledgeable perfectionist with a budget that matches the perfectionism.

[@Dimination36]

This dude is the driving force behind perfection! Keep it up!

[@SeishukuS12]

Love the velocity radius plate for capturing the plenum plate bolts, really great idea!

[@daltonbedore8396]

thats one of those ideas only vast experience would deliver

[@ao1645]

I still can’t believe that we are getting “ALL” this information for “FREE” !!!! Love you bro! Your a Gee!!!

[@SixOhhGeeTeeOhh]

2:13 that was a most satisfying noise, when it just fits so well

[@LS-uv9gg]

I love every single one of these videos and eagerly await each new one. Which is funny, because I have utterly zero interest in drifting (no offense to anyone, it's just not my thing, sorry) and as a motorcyclist, only a slight interest in cars. These vids and the calm, cool, explanation of the intricacies involved by this professional, keep me totally absorbed and amazed!

[@TheRzMike]

variable plenum size is such a cool feature. You guys are so innovative and its super cool that you are willing to share this kind of stuff!

[@VS666]

love this channel so much! tons of knowledge and straight to the point. can you make a video someday on matching up turbo sizes to engine sizes?

[@MindBlowerWTF]

Go to Stavtech youtube/facebook page and watch/read up. Engine size is a small part of deciding what turbo to use.

[@Peasant808]

The attention to detail and being able to watch him explain it all as he is working is just amazing! Great job mate love it!

[@peterm3861]

I have a high German degree in mechanical engineering and always learn something from Papadakis' videos. Never heard of just creating an O-ring as needed but that's brilliant!

[@BeardedWebb]

Art. The concealed runner bolts are a good example of how much thought these guys put in to these designs. Really really nice engineering.

[@marcusbarnes5929]

Love the design , no welding required and all bolted assembly.

[@Uglier.]

No stops or pauses, video continuously pumps out information. Perfect content.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Goals all around. Shop goals, engineering goals, engine goals, driving skill goals.

[@tomidis]

dat knowledge.... just amazing

[@tomnekuda3818]

Really slick design on varying the volume of the plenum.......can be changed in a matter of minutes to match track conditions. Truly awesome application.......same with the throttle body spacers. Can hardly wait to see this dynoed and raced.

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Incredible knowledge and engineering. I love your videos and the way you explain things for normal people to understand

[@bradlancaster427]

Stefan Papdakis, the gift that keeps on giving. Brilliant work every time!

[@jaekimchi]

As a mechanical engineer, watching your solutions and your design decisions is always fascinating!

[@tedbear631]

Congrats on the win last event!!!

[@hondatech5000]

Looks awesome. The straight logs like that always have a couple cylinders that suffer. If you kick the angle of the throttle opening directs the high speed air into the top of the plenum it helps with distribution. Example Holley hi-ram

[@corporalpunishment1133]

I did not think that was going to be that interesting but it was. It goes to show how good you are at making videos, no BS, no tattoos, no attitude. 👍🇭🇲

[@ncsteeltoe]

Bro. That O-ring trick is most important thing I've seen in years. Great idea!

[@jaybarnish77]

Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together. I'm sure this de-mystifies the building/manufacturing process and inspires many!

[@jayjohnson667]

Damn, kts been a while, Welcome back

[@232Stangpwr]

Love the volume spacer idea and how modular it is. Very well thought out design!

[@gedas3419]

how about air distribution? Because this straight 90degree throttle to intake doesn't look very distributing. I mean like, what about cylinder 1? Most engines tend to blow up due to last cylinder from throttle body getting the most air and leaning out the air fuel ratio. I would love some explaination about distribution designing.

[@2005-q6h]

Papadakis definitely puts quality over quantity and I appreciate that because this are damn fine videos don’t care how long they are

[@plaid_cloud]

I get that the video has a 99.5% positive rating... BUT WHO DOWNVOTES THIS?? This is pure innovation, explanation, and execution from an automotive legend!

[@drews4157]

I don't care if the videos are few and far between, the quality is always excellent!

[@mutt8553]

Stephen, you got the coolest job in the world man.

[@427060]

Thank you very much for this video. I'm designing and building some plenums right now, and this makes a huge difference. Have never heard of viton cord stock, matching plenum size to the displacement, or many other details.

[@michaelovitch]

Why isn't the base plate welded on the runners assembly ?

[@1911indi]

need to see more more more... like 5 times daily would be a start Mike !

[@smgw15]

Wow, that looks immense, I especially like the spacers for potential larger capacity plenum and the fact it can easily be done so you can test on the dyno

[@gino27224]

A genius that shares his knowledge. That's rare these days.

[@markmenzenski]

I would love to know the cost difference in the 3D printed metal/welded version, and the machined/bolted version. @papadakisracing care to share?

[@rscottalex]

+1 for cost delta. Also, was there an issue with the 3D part? Machining 4 parts has got to have more labor in the design process than the additive engineering design of the original 3D printed intake

[@markmenzenski]

@@rscottalex The 3D SLS printed intake blew apart (source: Social Media)

[@yanicktanguay2746]

Yes me too. I know the 3d printed blow because nitro backfire. But I like to compare the 3d and machined both same dessing/model/thickness... Which it strongest?

5:14 can you mill a gasket made from that heat repelling stuff? Many tests have shown inlet temps to be halved compared to conventional convection mounting

[@warusweims]

For fasteners smaller than 5mm or 1/4" you should use Loctite 222 (pink). Loctite 242 (blue) is medium strength, so small diameter fasteners may shear off when they are removed.

[@soneill]

Awesome vid man! Beautiful parts. Cool to see how you work with O rings, too

[@n00blike]

You could make a 3D printed jig to get consistent lengths on your o-ring lengths. I have made jigs for CF tubes, it saves a lot of time not having to measure them out if you have to make a lot of them.
