Making a Custom V10 Aluminum Intake - Ford V10 4V Build Ep. 7

[@rotaryperfection]

10:29. For future reference, guys, don't ever use a cutoff wheel to cut aluminum you're welding. Bits and pieces of the wheel will impregnate into the aliminum and cause leak points. All those black little specs in the weld just above that throttle body plate is a perfect example of contamination of the weld from that cut off wheel. Just use the cut off wheel to cut down the section you want to cut off the larger piece of aluminum sheet, then use the band saw to do the final cut. You'll thank me on future builds.

I can't wait to hear how this engine is going to sound. Huge mod motor fan. Currently have a single turbo 2v that I beat the hell out of. This platform is highly underrated.

Guys your the next generation of engine builders. Like what you did in a simple garage and with simple tools. Keep it going because I wana see that engine running.

very cool stuff guys-keep up the good work

[@biy_buildityourself]

Thanks Richard! It's inspiring to know people at your level appreciate work of DIY guys like us!

[@fourcam150]

A brushed finish might look good on that intake....along with some blue(or possibly black) valve covers.

[@Genesis385]

I think a set of VCs in grabber blue would be just right on this one.

[@vintagespeed]

AL is great to weld once you figure it out. when you lay an ugly one, run back over it with the torch (no filler) and work the pedal to pretty it up. good looking intake!

[@Lumpys_Garage]

You guys should definitely try a stubby cup for your Tig torch. Makes holding the torch and getting in tighter spots much easier. Really cool project.

[@rswany16]

I just found you guys from Deboss Garage. I am absolutely hooked on this build. You guys are doing an incredible job!!!!

[@danphillips2461]

Awesome fellas. Most anticipated engine build in youtube history for me!!!!! I was looking into the v10 ford about a month before you guys started this and I am hooked! FYI i reckon paint the intake ford blue wrinkle finish. The aussie fpv boss 290 engines had blue intake and they look sick.cheers

[@CapablePimento]

I really like where this is going. Definitely a labor of love. I really hope Ford Racing or Edelbrock or AFR or somebody is paying attention. You guys have struck on, what could be, the next big thing for Ford guys. Cant wait to see the numbers or hear it scream! BTW…subbed. Hooked. Yahtzee!!

[@4mecz]

Totally awesome! Great use of the 3D modelling and 3D printing!!

[@benloyd1970]

So cool to see someone building the V10.

The 6.8 h-owl is an awesome project name for that engine.

[@Nikko780]

That's pretty incredible work considering you guys have self-taught during the build. Looking forward to the completed engine!

Thank you! We can’t wait to get this thing started either 😬

[@MapOfEurasia]

I would go for Cerakote, Junkyard Dave loves that stuff and he used a lot on his Charger Wagon build ✌️ You guys deserve more subscribers!

[@MalcolmV8]

You guys are killing it. I absolutely loved this intake build. What is your background with using the milling machine? Do you guys work in the industry or just figured it out at home?

[@xozindustries7451]

Nice work, I don’t understand why it’s a divided intake, but I’m sure you can see how it works with and without the divider

[@witchcraftauto]

This is such an epic build! I am hooked!

[@tomp1612]

Awesome job on that intake.

[@zod-engineering-welding]

Amazing work. I'm jealous!

[@bruceyoung1343]

Watched 3 in a row. So engaging and love how you worked thru issues. I know at this point you got the V10 to run, but how well in the design was reverberation and air turmoil within the intake box to insure even air flow from the front cylinder to the last rear cylinders? Love to see the engine dyno tested. Well off to bed. 😴

[@shawnwedge5833]

Just polish the intake for now and clear it. Anything after that isn't screwed up then, if you change your mind.

[@Levibetz]

I think just DA sand it down to a nice smooth finish, then use scotch brite to grain it front-back. Best case you could have it anodized clear or even black or gold or something neat. I'm not a huge fan of the coarse grinder finish though, it should be smoother than that.

[@biy_buildityourself]

Agreed! The coarse grinder finish was just to clean it up for the video.

[@juanignaciocaino]

Beautiful work! Cerakote it so it stays as cool as possible.

[@biy_buildityourself]

Good idea!

[@benrobinson9136]

Third time asking for a video on the mark viii! BTW THE INTAKE IS SIIIIIICKKKKKKKKK!

[@biy_buildityourself]

Thanks Ben! We will find a way to throw the mk8 in one of the videos, and since you’ve been asking since day one, we’ll make it even better for ya and show you both (Yes we have two 😬)

[@jesseframe5134]

Consider pulling the intake & making provisions for a SFI burst panel. It would be a shame to have a backfire event that frags all the hard work you’ve put I to this intake. PS: I just binge watched episode 1 to current. PSS: GREAT stuff, thanks for posting your ambitious journey!

Wow that looks really good!

[@Keasbeysknight]

Looks great! Love the unfinished look too

[@justlm69]

Can't wait to see this finished up! 1 word of advice though, I would have left the center divider out for more plenum volume and revision balance inside the intake

[@biy_buildityourself]

We didn’t want to risk cylinder air starvation due to the even firing order of this motor. Tuning out intake reversion is a huge undertaking, requiring flow analysis of the intake and heads. Would be a cool project for a future version of the intake for sure, but way beyond the scope of this build at this time. Most even fire V10 engines we benchmarked have dual plenums, so we are sure this is a solid direction.

[@justlm69]

@@biy_buildityourself I didn't even think about the even firing order. At least you all have done your extensive homework. Keep it up!

Probably missed this but why the divider plate between the banks ?

Looks pretty damn good 👍

[@gafrers]

Great work

[@JakeMakesProductions]

The trumpets should actually protrude into the plenum.

[@codyparker679]

I love it but why the split chambers and not some openings to even pressure?

[@biy_buildityourself]

Good question, for an even fire v10, there is always an opposite cylinder firing from one bank to the other. Keeping the chambers separate eliminates the risk of starving one of the sides. We referenced other even fire V10 engines like Lamborghini.

[@stevenhigginbottom5261]

Keep up the great work. I can tell your youtube skills are improving too. Super excited to see all of your progress. So impressed with yall's fab skills. The algorithm needs to pick you guy's up and blow up this build and channel!

[@Jmauer]

Now I believe the 2V and 3V v10 have a balance shaft on the left cylinder head, what is your plan on that, do you think the extra cams will keep the vibrations down?

[@danphillips2461]

keen to find out this as well

[@biy_buildityourself]

You are right, they do come with a balance shaft. From our research, it’s main purpose is for NVH so we will not be using one.

[@diytutorialsandmore9804]

I also think the divider is probably not the best idea some kind of balance hole should cut one thing to remember is resonances in there plenum can help almost act as boost at certain rpm’s so having no divider would be beneficial just my 2c

[@Hjfvvdst]

For air flow would the throttle bodies flow better opening with the shafts vertically? So that the air would flow straight back instead of hitting the devider?

[@biy_buildityourself]

If they were vertical, one motor would have to point up and one down so the blades open the same way. But im not sure that would help with air not hitting the divider.

[@coco9004]

I have same v10 engine on my E-450 Super Duty 2003. Can you make stainless steel? how much it cost?

[@MasterXBKC]

Your numbers to beat for a 2V N/A Ford V10 are 324 HP, and 525 TQ, factory stock numbers are 310 hp, 425 tq

[@biy_buildityourself]

We will discuss the power expectations in the video where we walk through all the parts. Needless to say, if we don’t exceed those numbers we will consider this a big failure 😅

[@CapablePimento]

Polish it!

[@donaldspeck9212]

If you had to put a price tag on just the intake manifold , What would that number be?

[@biy_buildityourself]

More than you can afford, pal lol No, but seriously, we couldn’t put a price tag on it, we’ve spent way too much time making this thing. We wouldn’t even feel comfortable selling something that we haven’t tested yet.

[@daveb1870]

Yall do any flow analysis for the design?

[@biy_buildityourself]

We didn't do any Solidworks flow analysis as we didn't see much we could have affected to change flow characteristics. But we do have CAD so it might be fun to see what it looks like!

[@norah7324]

sooo yall gonna leave the intake like this or yall will cut the wall in the middle?

[@biy_buildityourself]

The intake is all done, all we have left to do to mount the fuel rails, we’ll be doing that in the coming weeks.

[@norah7324]

@@biy_buildityourself no i mean the sheet metal wall between the throttles inside the intake

[@Levibetz]

@@norah7324 It will have two plenums, the wall is intentional. A V10 fires evenly on each bank like an I5, so dual plenums work well from a wave tuning perspective.

Why did you put in a divider in the intake?
