Cyclone Intake manny with American ECU

[Tevenor]

I think I am going to bang my head against a wall form all the bad info in this thread.

1) The cyclone intake is normally OPEN as in both runners.
2) It closes off the secondary runner by vaccum, not boost.
3) The vaccum canister is controlled by a BCS-style solenoid that traps the vaccum to keep the butterfly valve closed. Once the JDM ecu decides to open it, it opens the valve and boost hits the actuator and opens the secondary runners.
4) In order to get it to work right, you would need a solenoid that closes at any non vaccum signal to trap vaccum in the canister, and a way of opening the solenoid at a specific boost.
5) This has been gone over hundreds of times:

Oh, heh, whoops, need to go play with it some more then...

ok why cant you should use an MBC set at 6-8psi between the butterfly actuator and intake manifold nipple? simple

cuz the mbc will work only when boost is present. you will need vaccum to close the butterflies again at low rpms. With a mbc that just wont happen. you will need to incorporate a vacuum check valve in there too. all in all it will screw you up in your top end any how. This is done best electronically. I have a working beta test on a voltage switch and a line solenoid switch hooked up to the access line for your rpms located on the harness that runs along the rear firewall. It works and I will sell for 45.00 each as soon as i can work out a couple bugs. This manifold is awesome for bottom to mid range torque and does spool up the turbo much faster. This will accompany dyno tests for both intakes to show the torque over hp curve. According to butt dyno i have had a few friends ride with me and say that the car just wants to get up and go! Its cool to see their face when i launch and the wheels spin at mid launch when boost hits. I have been working on this for some time and will announce its availability. Stay posted.
