Piaggio Maxi 125–180 Intake Manifold – CNC Aluminum & 3D Printing
Developed by NormEngineering – precision manufactured, flow-optimized and dyno tested!
Our custom intake manifold for Piaggio Maxi engines combines a CNC-machined, anodized aluminum base plate with a specially designed 3D-printed intake rubber.
The goal was to create a precise, flow-oriented connection between the carburetor and the engine without requiring difficult modifications to an unsuitable intake manifold.
For the Polini CP24 carburetor, this design provides a dedicated fit without the need to force or squeeze the carburetor into position.

CNC Aluminum Base and Custom Intake Rubber
The base plate is precisely CNC-machined from aluminum and anodized.
A specially developed 3D-printed intake rubber is fitted to the base plate. Its geometry is designed for the selected carburetor version.
This construction combines precise engine mounting with a purpose-designed intake passage.
Dyno-Tested Performance – Polini CP24
The Polini CP24 version was tested on a dynamometer. The documented comparison showed the following improvements:
- +0.23 HP peak power
- +0.85 HP at 7,300 RPM
- +0.33 Nm torque
These results demonstrate the potential of the optimized intake design, particularly in the mid-range.
Note: The figures are based on a documented dyno comparison using the CP24 version. Actual results depend on the engine setup and test conditions. The results do not automatically apply to other carburetor versions.
