Pretty damn cool. Love the custom swirl pot. Didn't you do a log-style intake way back when? Bringing that one out of retirement?

That's what I remember. Been a while since seeing the 2.3L stuff, but that lower isn't from a turbo, correct? Off a Ranger, or NA Mustang?

You gonna' toss that old, tired T5? :D

That’s a cossie T5 from that Sapphire Cosworth in the background. No tossing. I saw one of those sell for £3500 pounds recently. Insane.

I think the car deserves a brand new thread. Maybe some before and after pics showing it back on the road again. :D
The best way to keep your Kia from being stolen is to not have a Kia.

I'm pretty sure that's an early SVO inline lower. I have a couple here on the shelf to build a copy of this intake.
