I decided to clean up a B20 Kjet intake for HER car. All the smog stuff is gone and I'm shaving off the casting marks plus getting rid of some vacuum ports and the egr
whats your input ? keep one or two for something ? of get rid of them all?

bottom - shaved off the mount from auto kickdown cable
thinking of getting rid of the egr and two other vacuum ports

What??? Don't you have an 1800 and a Series II to restore first??? :-P
Or is this penance for your time in the garage house of ill-repute?
[and what about that embossed part number?]

Nice.

My first article billet b20 manifolds are in the works. With and without efi bungs. Hoping to find some test bunnies in the next few months. Hoping to find someone with access to a dyno for a little side by side. Going to also do a side by side flow bench check.

I like to remove webbing whenever possible.

I wouldn’t recommend going to far on that part. Those early cast manifolds were really heavy, hanging off shared studs, wiggling around like a sewing machine fuking a traktor and it’s just asking for some leaks. Maybe just cutting some weight out of the middle web, but I’d leave the runner webs alone.

theres a support bracket, but I agree and I wont remove the reinforcement webbing ? under the runners near the head

drilling holes between the runners would be lost on a kjet intake, but maybe would look cool on a Djet intake
IAC and WUR take up too much space on the kjet while theres almost nothing on top of a djet manifold


this is just mostly looks. I'll do a little clean up inside but that wont affect jack
 
Yeah, I understand the importance of structural strength, etc. With proper manifold support bar mount it has never been a problem for me, nothing ever cracked or came loose. Did it mainly for cosmetics and ease of feeding hoses and wires between the runners.
The insides of the runners can be smoothed nicely with the honing tool on the drill.

Thankfully they are pretty solid with that support bracket so you should be fine there.
On the top, you've got the breather, brake, and cabin vacuum supply ports. One of those you have marked to delete.
Bottom side, yeah, dump the EGR, I have an M18x1.5 plug in mine. The one on the side works for vacuum to the evap. can control side, which you also have marked to delete right by the throttle body.
