Intake Manifold Modifications.....

Lotsa people talk about it, but no one wants to spend the money on the dyno to find out what difference it makes.

I have, not on a per mod scale, but as a whole package. Look in the dyno section to see.

I meant no one has specifically tried to see if the VICS alone makes much difference on a MSP. I know I saw an N/A guy show that it made a difference.

It would still be interesting to see a dyno with vics open the whole time, then another run with vics closed the whole time and see where the best switching point is, but no one wants to spend their money on that.
I ain't complaining, just saying.

Dam focus, I never knew you dyoned that thing. Thats some impressive numbers....some day I will get there...if I wasn't so damn cheap. lol

That was mild. Only 17 psi. Boost and 7-9 degrees of timing pulled.

B.T.W. It wasn't on race gas. That was a pump gas dyno run.

yeah, yeah.... Your gonna make me do this arn't you? (Not you really, just the fact your faster drives me freakin bonkers. lol)

I am waiting for you, and glad to lend a hand to anyone who needs it.

I think it's more of a drivability issue. The SWC cars started out with stock manis and no butterflies at all. But they're running up in the high rpms ALL of the time. So if you're running a track car, or in boost all of the time, then sure it'd help. But you sacrifice drivability.

So porting question for you guys.... how much material are you removing? Just eough to flue out the port to match the gasket and then largely just polishing inside the runners? Or are you actually enlarging the runners considerably? Noticed there isn't a LOT of material to the runner walls.

 

[flat_black]

Yeah, the walls are pretty thin... I taper it outward a little bit, progressively, then trumpet the opening so it flares out, rather than forming a lip, so you don't get any pockets of swirl from the fluid (air) passing over the ridge.

 

[TurfBurn]

Right now I"m having the shop do it instead of doing it myself... and that was what I was leaning toward was having them just do that... smooth it out and then flute it to match the cylinder head itself which is getting opened up as well.

I just installed my intake manifold a few weeks ago. Nick at Modern Performance ported and polished it. It's an MP3 manifold and now I have an extra MP3 manifold I was going to get ported and polished and sell to someone.

Here's some pics of the port and polish job I got done. I can also post pics of my non-modified MP3 intake manifold for comparison.

Sweet
thanks you know pics always help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well here is some fun info for you guys.. figured I'd gauge interest here... I have a source to possibly manufacture cast intake manifolds. We'd be able to create whatever runner lengths or configurations you'd want... so if someone has a design idea they want to see created... I'll tackle it.

Holy crap! Hey, get a price for just a set of stacks off of the head that I can slip my ITBS onto. =D That would be AWESOME!

Do you want them a specific legnth? and what diameter? I can easily get you a flange and stacks (I already have a model of the flange.. hehehehehe). I would need to draft it and quote it... but yeah we can work this out bit by bit.... can you deal with solid models/read prints at all? I"m super busy right now... but in the coming weeks we can easily tackle this together.

 

[flat_black]

Sure! I can get it specced up. =) I'm going to swing by home. Any chance that you could send me the part file for the flange? =) I'll get the runner spacing and everything measured up tonight for you, at least, and let you know. This would make my life SO much easier, even if I had to get this made as a one-off deal!

 

[TurfBurn]

Well it will be a one off... but that is just fine and pricing should get hurt all that much by it either... that is this sources speciality . Pretty need how they do things really.... yeah. I have a n IGES file of it if you want... it's a map of the gasket.. PM me an email address and I should be able to send it from there!

Later

And how about building in bungs for extra injectors?

How about something like this?
