2G Evo 3 intake manifold

[spydergstftw]

I have a legitimate Evo 3 Intake Manifold and 1g turbo throttle body that I am looking on putting into my 2g. Is there anything that I will have to do to run these besides running a vacuum source for the mdp sensor. anything else? I have the gaskets and longer lines for the throttle body

Not really. It'll have no egr provision, if you already have it blocked off it won't matter.

If you don't have an EGR you don't need an MDP , just ignore them both in ecmlink so you don't get a CEL.

2g intake manifold is going flow better for you. why switch it? Your not going to see a difference.

2g manifold is going to flow better? Is that right?

Have you ever seen a 2g manifold next to an evo 3? The evo 3's runners are significantly shorter.

Evo 3 flows better then any of the stock 4g manifolds, and even some SMIM

Longer intake runners coupled with smaller intake ports increase air velocity and cylinder filling. For quick spooling, low airflow turbo's, the 2g manifold and head is considered a better option than 1g/Evo3/SM intake manifolds on a 1g head.

Can you explain how??

The 1st gen heads have larger intake ports which gives the advantage to the 1st gen head. Stock v stock the 1st gens will out flow the 2nd gens. Port out the 2nd gen heads and you have basically the same thing. The volocity and how fast which ever will fill a cylinder is still speculation. You have a evo 3 intake mani op, you have bragging rights, and a lil extra added performance over the stock 2g mani, but I don't think it's going to be alot.

Look for the 20+ page thread on the Evo 3 intake manifold and you'll have the answers you're looking for. Long story short it's a upgrade over the stock 2G manifold and you'll be a fool not to install it. I'm almost done installing mine along with a larger TB, cams, and valve springs.

I'd think Mitsubishi would put an intake manifold that match the Evo 3 16g.

^^^ This. In fact here is the thread for you. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/245603-lancer-evolution-iii-intake-manifold.html

I have been running a evo3 IM for a few years now and I love it. It did make a difference in how my car performs vs the stock 2g manifold and there are MANY people out there that agree. I have still yet to hear of someone switching back to the stock 2g IM because they were unhappy with the evo3 IM. That should speak for itself.

Just my opinion on intake manifold is all. If his turbo setup is rather stock from his profile not very well stated its not going to be a big improvement imo. Im not a hp penny pincher so I guess it must be good then. ^_^
But I doubt the 2g intake manifold is bad, just a wasteful thing to swap out imo.

No one cares about your "opinion" (especially since you don't seem to have any personal experience on the matter) we care about real world proven results and first hand experience.

 

[clipto]

No need be rude. I was just curious why he was putting it on his car.

 

[red_devil]

Well going by his mod list he still is on a T25 so clipto is right. That turbo will fall on its face to make upgrading to a EVO3 intake worthless. Now if the op is going to upgrade to a larger turbo then the manifold will definitely help.

 

[genegoesfast]

I installed one on my ride, but I'm running an hx35. It made a nice difference in off boost performance though. Just feels like it fattened up the curve a bit.

 

[TWOpointFORliter]

Sorry not trying to be rude or an a$$. The evo3 manifold will give him more mid-top end pull without sacraficing any mid-low end power. We all know that factory cars in Europe outperform their American counterparts in terms of HP. They dont need to worry about the restrictive emissions BS that we do. It makes sense to use parts from them that are an improvement over our stock parts and yet still retain a stock apperence. I can tell you from experience what my 16g used to fall on its face after 5500 RPM's with the stock 2g manifold. With the evo3 IM it now pulls rather well all the way to redline (7200).

Your mistaken, the evo 3 intake has smaller ports just like the 2g. Bolts right up to a 2g head with no porting needed. It has the smaller ports and shorter runners for more air velocity.

I have the evo 3 intake mani on my 2g and I can certainly notice a difference. Not only does my car perform better but it even cleans up the engine bay a little. Its not nearly as bulky as the stock 2g mani.

 

[Mello]

Some evo 3 mani don't come with the coils, bracket and or power transistor which will make the swap a little more challenging. If you have these than it's just like bolting on the 2g manifold. When I bolted on my evo 3 manifold I had to completely redo my tuning because of how much it changes the motor's VE. The funny thing that I wasn't expecting was most of my retuning was needed in the off boost loads. I just needed to make minor change in boost (a little more fuel up top).

people need to stop calling all evo 1-3 intakes evo 3's
evo 1 and 2 no egr set up
evo 3 egr set up and 1 extra vac port
rvr 52mm t.b.
All the manifolds are the same
