X-Ray of Intake Manifold ! 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Since I am an Industrial Radiographer I thought it would be useful (and cool) to radiograph my stock intake manifold with my Fuji Digital system before I port it, just to see how much rubber & metal is really in there.

I'll try to re-size the image without losing too much detail & post it. If anyone out there knows a better way PM me and I'll email you the original. Bear in mind this is only a photograph of the computer screen as the actual file is HUGE !

I've got film of my stock exhausts before I gutted them too and I'll try to get a good photo of that soon too.

wow, that is really cool! I thought about tearing one apart, cross cutting it. But this is way better.

If you want to, send me the files via email. Email address is gram here at the clinic.

Done ! If I can figure out to shrink the original image file from the Digital RT System I'll post that. The resolution looks 10X better than what I've posted !

Well, see what you can do. This is really good information. I got the pics you sent, and they do look better at higher resolutions. If they end up being the best we can do they will work.

I would like to put them into a mini article, along with any commentary you want to add, and put the article in our tech articles section with you as author (with your permission). We can put slightly higher resolution pics in the article, and link them to full resolution jpgs for users who want to see them that way.

Keep me posted. And nice work

Thanks for the pics! It's really useful for those of us who have, shall we say, overported something a time or two.

I got to play with an xray machine once..
