Here is a sneak peak of the New Tork Tech intake manifold coming out for the 4.6 2v. We have been working with Tork Tech over the last few months helping on design. The new castings are in and we hope to start testing in the next few weeks.

Notice the intake has the intercooler core inside the intake manifold. This is a liquid core and will flow over 700whp worth of air. Turbo kits will no longer need a mile of piping routed around and through the front end of the car. One pipe from the turbo outlet to the throttle body is all that will be needed.


With the intercooler being close to the intake valve the air charge will be very efficient and cool as it enters the combustion chamber.

The test car we will be using is a 2000 Mustang Gt making 500 whp now @ 13 psi with a 67mm turbo on it. The 67mm is being replaced by a 76mm and will be redynoed before making any other changes. Once we have our base line the new TT intake will be installed and the testing will be under way.

If you interested in the intake feel free to pm me.

Thats cool and all...but I love the simplicity of my Air to Air. No water pumps or relays to die...no water leaks. With this system your gonna need a heat exchanger and pump and holding tank. Not to mention my cheap ebay intercooler keeps my IAT's around 11-15 degree's above ambient. Kinda hard to beat for the money...

Less weight, weight lower to the ground... Air to Air for me also! good to see new developments though, options are always good!

This is a sweet piece! Couple things.....Options - will you be able to offer the upper piece of the intake with ports removed/added? Ex. In the picture, you show all the emissions stuff/factory intake ports. Would I be able to have the upper without EGR and then maybe add some 1/8" boost/vacuum ports?

Will there be different throttle body options....round, oval and then will this be based on a specific manufacturer...Wilson, FAST, etc?

What are you guys planning on doing about a water tank? Would the lower intercooler part of the intake be based on 5/8" or -10an fittings and then the customer would just purchase their own water tank thats already available on the market? Or, are you guys going to be designing your own tank?

Same goes for the heat exchanger and intercooler pump.

I think this intercooler in combination with an already installed A-A Intercooler will be beneficial.

Which heads does it fit? PI or TFS?

Very cool, interested to see how this performs.

Dan, if I could throw up an idea that may have come up. Would a Trick Flow/Bullitt style manifold work. I mean after the throttle body rout the air towards the firewall then drop it down so it can enter in the bottom in the back of the manifold. Then the air can go straight up through the cooler and right into the runners. Just and idea, might not be enough room.
