Rec me an Intake Manifold for my setup..

I am looking for an intake manifold with the smallest plenum available that will accept a 75mm throttle body.

Reason being I am stuck using 3" intercooler piping, and I don't want a bottle neck in my air route at the throttle body. But also don't want to have some huge plenum that's going to drastically reduce my low end.

I was thinking Skunk2 intake manifold, But it doesn't look like there's enough material for it to accept a 75mm flange comfortably.

Anybody have any recommendations?

Have you looked into ported OEM manifolds?

I have been tinkering with my manifold, taking measurements and it doesnt look like I can fit a 75mm flange on it.
70mm would work, but that 5mm counts

Edit- Even if a 75mm flange would fit on there, looks like the inside plenum of the OEM intake manifold is less than 75mm. Therefore creating that bottle neck like affect I am trying to avoid

Why are you stuck using 3" piping?

I have limited funds and its whats available to me.

Probably sounds unreasonable that I looking to modify an intake manifold to accept larger piping, But Im thinking it will be less expensive than replacing my intercooler setup.

And Im kind of looking for an excuse to change the intake manifold before I put the motor back in since its so easy now

Why not sell the 3" piping to get something you won't have such trouble working with?

One post above yours^^

"Im thinking it will be less expensive [to figure out a solution with an intake manifold] than replacing my intercooler setup. "

Limited budget, but any IM and TB combo that you're going to do is far more expensive than the Extreme Ported stocker I would recommend. Unless you're going for HUGE power I'd sell the 3".

But, to answer your question: JMF Drag or Race IM, depending on what turbo you're running.

Probably the largest plenum out of anythign Ive seen this far haha

But I suppose youre right and I should sell the 3" piping setup.
