mild steel intake manifold?
I can't seem to find a manifold that'll work with my Nibbi PE30 on my TBR7. is there some reason why I can't just fabricate one from mild steel plate and tubing? I'd make it from aluminum, but I can't weld aluminum with my set up

Go for it. If it works well, make a few. They'll probably sell.
The only issue I can think of is heat soak. Someone else here can probably chime in on whether they think that would be a problem. |

You might want to get a phenolic spacer between the head and manifold, and make sure the inside of the manifold is smooth. Also make sure you use a gasket to keep it sealed up.

the Nibbi has a rubber hose type mount, so that should help mitigate heat soak

I am using this one on my 2020 TBR granted I am running a PWK 30 not the Nibbi
NIBBI Orginal High Performance CQR Intake Manifold Air Joint Boot Connector For Motorcycle Motorcross Dirt Bike Kawasaki CQR250 CRF It is 15.99 and is Prime. I trimmed maybe 1/4" and it fits and clears the frame. I have the Uni foam filter. |
