How about a what is it? Game for those who know!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/87-96-VG30E-…12469f&vxp=mtr
What did this come from, will it fit the vg30et, and has anyone used it? Looks like a plastic upper, perhaps help with heat soak?
Here is another one, this time all aluminum, but looks like same basic design?

The bonus round is, with they fit under the stock hood? Looks potentially like a more compact version of the Frontier manifold, better flow I wonder?
Other thoughts?

Interesting.... it looks as tall as the Frontier/Pathfinder manifold, but like you said more compact.

The only one's I've seen that are plastic are the one's that came on the mini-vans.
If it's really from a VG30E, then it will fit an ET just fine. No difference in the manifolds between them. Just depends on if that one needs a specific LIM or not.

I'm thinking its gonna be pretty friggen tall, just really an interesting deal.

listing shows it comes with the LIM. the question is injector capabilities.

Black plastic type is a Villager/Quest setup.
Not sure what the second one in aluminum is. Need more pics to see the rest of the upper.

Both minivan, and they fit backwards on the engine, so the throttle would be next to the z31 battery…
I expect more hood clearance issues than a stock pathfinder style, but less than the pathfinder's installed backwards…

^^ ah, never thought about the orientation! I knew someone would be able to shed light on these!
Axel kain: (2015-05-22 13:25:11)
if the lower is the same design as ours, flipping it to sit like a truck intake would be pretty easy.

And what do you do about the distributor that you just decapitated?
mtherkamp: (2015-05-22 13:50:21)
I guess that's a good excuse for coil packs with crank trigger!
