Manifold Program
Prepared for BoostedJunkie Garage · Attn Mike
A complete billet intake manifold — upper already scanned and reverse-engineered, flow-refined in CAD and simulation-validated from The Complete Package upward, proven on the engine as a printed prototype before any billet is cut, then finished, cased and delivered ready to sell, with every asset you need to sell it in your hands before the metal ships.
You asked for a manifold built to go against the unit currently sitting in the market at $10,000–$12,000. Beating it on the part alone is the easy half. The other half is that your buyer never sees the part first — he sees a photo and a price, same as every other listing on the internet.
This program closes both. You get a manifold engineered and flow-validated from scratch, and you get the launch material — simulation video, renders, the whole asset library — sitting on your site before the first shipment lands. You are selling it while it is still being machined.
The upper manifold has already been scanned and already rebuilt as clean, watertight CAD. That work is done, it is sitting on the machine, and it is not on your invoice as time still to be spent — it is why this program starts at the design stage instead of the measuring stage. The lower section is the one piece not yet in hand: we either source one or scan yours and reverse-engineer it, which is a short job on top of what already exists.
The physical part taken to a dense mesh — every runner, every mounting face, every casting radius measured rather than estimated.
Clean, editable CAD reconstructed from that scan. Real surfaces and real datums — the foundation every port, plenum and flange is designed against.
The design is computationally optimized, not styled and hoped for. Every gram of billet and every hour of machine time has to earn its place in airflow and output — the same discipline applied to a runner as to a line of code. Nothing is spent where it does not make power.
Select a stage
The upper manifold was put on a scanner and taken to a dense measured mesh — 231,064 triangles of it. Every runner, every mounting face, every casting radius is measured rather than estimated. That mesh is the one turning in the viewer further down this page. It exists, it is in hand, and it is not on your invoice.
That upper scan was rebuilt into clean, watertight, editable CAD — real surfaces, real datums, 2,966 faces of proper geometry rather than a mesh you cannot modify. This is the foundation every port, plenum and flange gets designed against, and it is the single biggest block of work most shops would still be billing you for.
Geometry is refined against flow during the CAD phase. From The Complete Package upward that work is validated in simulation — which is what unlocks the higher levels of refinement. Revisions are carried at no extra charge until the geometry is right — there is no per-revision billing and no incentive on our side to stop early.
A manifold is printed in black PLA or PETG at production standard, shipped UPS Ground with full tracking, and bolted to your actual engine with injectors. You confirm fitment with your own hands. Up to three iterations are covered inside the $1,500, and no CNC order is placed until you say it fits.
Only once fitment is confirmed on the engine does billet get cut. Five units, machined, finished, hardware bagged, velocity stacks and lid finish-clean. Nothing goes to the machine on a guess, which is why a five-piece run cannot turn into five pieces of scrap.
This is the actual scanned R8 manifold, running live in your browser right now — not a picture of one. Turn it, pull it closer, look underneath it. This is the standard of experience your customer gets sent to.

This view needs WebGL. The manifold renders as stills further up the page.
Live 3D of the scanned donor part. The finished billet design replaces it here once Stage 03 completes — the same viewer, your customer's product in it.
Up to three printed manifolds, roughly $500 apiece, all three covered inside the $1,500. Most programs settle on the first or second.
Black PLA or PETG, printed to production standard at our own facility — not a desktop machine and not a bureau we have never met.
Ships within seven days of the model being released to the printer. You are checking fitment on your engine inside a fortnight, not a quarter.
UPS Ground with full tracking, under a zero-tariff arrangement already in place across our supply companies. You do not get handed a customs bill.
On duties, plainly: the zero-tariff arrangement holds essentially every time, but it is not a guarantee we control. In the rare case a duty bill does appear it has never exceeded $80 — and you would know about it before it landed, not after.
Every tier below delivers five complete manifolds and the engineering behind them. They differ in how far the package goes past the metal.
Five manifolds, engineered from the CAD that already exists, cut from billet and finished to a standard you can hand to a customer without apologising for anything.
Designed from the reverse-engineered CAD already in hand — real surfaces, real datums, and a manifold drawn to fit your engine rather than adapted to it.
Five units cut from solid billet. Design revisions carried until the geometry is right. Flow simulation is not part of this tier — it starts at The Complete Package.
Titanium and anodized install hardware as standard. Fuel rails are our own design and ship hard-anodized black by default — corrosion protection for alcohol fuels. O-rings and fasteners bagged per unit.
Velocity stacks and lid finish-clean. Offered bare machine finish, anodized or powdercoated — your call per batch. No oil, no fingerprints; it leaves here ready to photograph.
Everything in The Parts, and then the part stops being a part. It arrives cased, seated, serialized and documented — the unboxing is itself the first piece of marketing.
A custom foam-cut case per unit, cut to this manifold and nothing else. Closed, it looks like it holds something that costs what it costs.
Manifold, velocity stacks, lid and hardware each in their own cutout. Every piece has a place, and the empty place is visible if one is missing.
An identification plate per unit. It makes each one a numbered piece rather than one of five identical objects.
The flow study printed and bound, in the case — liner notes for a manifold. The thing a customer reads twice before he ever installs it.
Over Tier 01: the same manifold, delivered as an experience your customer films rather than a part he unwraps.
Everything above, plus the whole asset library — every still, clip and study handed to you ahead of the metal, so you can list it and start selling while it is still being machined.
Air moving through the plenum and down every runner at 8,000 RPM and 35 PSI. Nobody else in this category can put that in front of a buyer.
Cylinder-to-cylinder distribution shown as a picture. This is the argument for the price, made without a paragraph.
Studio-lit stills and sectioned views in every anodized finish offered — shot before a single unit is machined.
Stills, clips and cutdowns in the formats you actually post, licensed to you outright. You run your own marketing; we keep you supplied.
Over Tier 02: you stop waiting on parts to start selling. The listing goes live while the billet is still in the machine.
Everything above, and the manifold gets its own product experience under your name — the format every product you release after this one can be launched in.
Not a listing with a photo and a price. A built product experience your buyer is sent to, and stays on.
He turns the manifold, watches the air move through it, and understands why it is worth more — before he ever speaks to you.
Built under BoostedJunkie branding throughout. It is your launch, not a supplier's page with your logo on it.
The format becomes yours. Every product you release after this one launches the same way, and the standard is already set.
Over Tier 03: the assets stop being files you have to figure out how to use, and become a finished launch that is already working.
Take a finished model to an engineering firm and ask for flow studies and you will get a technical report — accurate, and useless for selling anything. This is the same simulation work, rendered as material your buyer can watch.
Air moving through the plenum and down each runner, rendered at real operating conditions. The thing nobody else in this category can show a customer.

Licensed to BJGEvery line below is work this program already contains, priced at what a professional shop charges for this scope — a full V10 billet manifold, not a simple bracket. We are not the cheapest quote you can find, and we are not trying to be. The comparison excludes the manifolds entirely: this is the engineering and the assets alone.
At twenty units your cost per unit steps down again and the spread widens. Nothing is renegotiated — the formula is fixed.
| The work | Bought separately | In your program |
|---|---|---|
| Reverse engineering — scan to clean CAD | $4,500 | Upper in hand |
| Full parametric CAD — V10 billet manifold | $5,000 | Tier 01 |
| CFD flow study, validated | $12,000 | Tier 03 |
| Studio renders and sectioned cutaways | $6,000 | Tier 03 |
| Product animation, 30 seconds | $10,000 | Tier 03 |
| Custom interactive product page | $20,000 | Tier 04 |
| Six vendors, six schedules | $57,500 | Still no manifolds |
Figures are typical US professional rates for work at this scope. Published vendor ranges are wider — simple parts sit far below these numbers — but a V10 billet intake manifold sits at the top of every one of them. Buying piecemeal also pays twice for geometry preparation: the CAD built for the design is the same CAD the simulation, the renders and the animation all run on. Here it is built once, by one desk, to one standard.
Because your first five manifolds sell for almost exactly what the whole program costs. You are not buying a batch of parts. You are buying a product line, and the parts pay for it on the way in.
Double your money, every batch. No development to pay for again, ever.
What you have banked, batch by batch
Profit in your pocket after the line is paid for, at five units a batch sold at the $12,000 the market already pays.
At twenty units your cost per unit steps down again and the spread widens. Nothing is renegotiated — the formula is fixed, and the line stays yours.
The upper manifold is scanned and rebuilt as clean CAD — weeks of work other shops would bill you for, already behind us before the first invoice. Only the lower section is still to be captured.
A printed manifold is shipped to you, bolted to the engine with injectors and proven to fit before any billet is ordered. Three tries are covered. $1,500 stops a five-piece run from becoming scrap.
Simulation video, renders and the full asset library land ahead of the metal, so you market it from day one. No dead window holding stock nobody has seen.
Cost plus 50%, disclosed and fixed. You are never renegotiating, and every volume step pushes your margin up without a single conversation.
Pick a tier and we start the model. Two things from you to begin: which injectors you are running, so the fuel rails come out compatible, and access to a lower manifold section so we can capture the one piece not yet in hand. Design and simulation run first — you will see the manifold and its flow study before anything is committed to metal.
