GI: New Intake Manifold

[CorkSport]

This is just a feeler and nothing else, so if it doesn't happen you don't get to shoot me.

What would be the interest for a shorter runner cast intake manifold for the FS engine. If would be designed for the turbocharged engines with none of the butterfly assemblies. Target price would be $225.

We haven't started this yet but there has been some discussion about building one. It just takes alot of time to do the R&D work and I want to make sure people would actually want to purchase one if we made it.

Thanks

I would definitely be in line to snatch one up. I have the 626 mani, but a short runner would be great for us boosted fellas....

 

[starscream2k1]

i would be in for around 225 bucks!

Question: Wouldn't a shortened dual runner inhibit low end torque? It wouldn't be a problem if you live in 3k rpm and above, but how street friendly would it be for low boost applications?

I feel the same as Citizenpro

 

[CorkSport]

Without having a built prototype I cannot answer if it would kill low end torque.

I have looked at the intake manifold on the BP turbo engine in my 323GTX and overall length compared to the non turbo BP intake manifold is several inches different. I actually have really fast spool up time on the 323GTX reaching full boost at about 2600rpm (16PSI).

There may be a bit of low end loss but I dont think it will be much with the FS engine.

hmm id like to see the gains with your manifold vs the 626

Oh stfu and go install your 626 IM. (lol2)

Assuming it retains the EGR and fittings I WILL by one.

 

[zoom 79gc]

interested in seeing the test info on this !!!!!

 

[CorkSport]

The goal would be to have the EGR mounting though it may be a bit relocated, depends on design.

225 dollars would be a steal. go for it!

Out of curiosity, why not copy the 626 manifold and mass produce it? You could sell them for $150 each and make a killing. You'd sell a ton!

i'm in

That would be interesting, it would be the definitive answer to the long runner vs. short runner question.

 

[speed1016]

with proven gains over the 626 mani I would be in for that price.
