Has anyone tried this intake manifold?

[Archer Fabrications]

My point was op isnt going to be the one to provide results. So anyone else end up buying this??

Also, i dont plan to run a holset forever, jus until i can afford an fp3586 or 3794hta

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

I just wanna afford a dbb black evo 9 turbo. Guess I'll have to strap it too an awd though .

 

[AK Maniak]

Quite the generalization there urban. My DSM has never scene a track or a dyno so I guess that means all my "name brand" parts that have been tried and proven are just for show.

OP, any updates?

Thats not what i said at all. We're talking about an ebay intake manifold, get it right.

Op fails at providing any info.

 

[Spanky_DSM]

You guys should PM him, Thats what i did last time and he updated on the thread.

If you're adding a MAP sensor to a vehicle for any reason then all you need is a vacuum line connection somewhere behind the throttle.

If you're actually referring to the stock Manifold Differential Pressure sensor and not a MAP sensor (4G63s did not have a MAP sensor from the factory) then yes, you're SOL if for some strange reason you actually want to keep it. The MDP sensor is used by the ECU only to check for the proper operation of the EGR system.

An easy fix for the 2g MDP sensor mounted directly to the manifold is a 97 Sonata MDP sensor. Its not mounted on the manifold and it only needs a vacuum line. Its Mitsu made and its plug and play. Got this tip from someone when I wanted to run a cyclone intake with no provision for MDP sensor on a 2g ecu swap I did. Works perfect!

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Or use an omni power 4 bar mitsu style.... Plug and play with mdp harness, mounts same place as 2g mdp also

If smim, vac line to map sensor off manifold.

You too huh? Thats not what i said at all you fucjing fool. Were talking about an ebay intake manifold, get it right.

Since you obviously seem to care so much about this manifold then why don't you test it out since your such a serious performance guy. Regardless of whether OP comes back with results or not there is no need to be a prick.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Nah.

Urban why don't you gtfo if your just going to talk shit. God forbid after all the money I've spent on name brand parts I want to try an eBay manifold that I even said I bought for looks over all if it performs it will be a plus and from actually inspecting it on my hands I don't see why it won't perform over a stock mani. I've been a member since 09 and if you look at my activity you will see none for a few years I have track times from the car just none worth the posting. So take the troll somewhere else.

To the ones that care about the manifold my engine builder did something wrong in assembly so I have to replace the rod bearings but low power break in wise I felt a slight difference over the stock manifold, but like I said I was in break in so wasn't being that hard. Hopefully true results in a couple weeks unlike some I have a life that include bills, full time job, and school 4 nights a week so I'm a little stretched when it comes to time and money. Anyone else is welcome to buy it and try it themselves and post the results.

Because it's sold on ebay makes it junk?

I have no plans to buy this IM

Lets see them. Then go to the track, and lets see em Again.
Was that so hard?

Not sure where people are getting me saying "name brand parts suck don't buy name brand parts" nope i didn't say anything like that anywhere. I was actually saying there aren't enough people trying new things so i was hoping to see results. But i guess you idiots can't read.

And this manifold won't out preform stock if it busts under harsh conditions and decreases top flow because it was made and not designed. But by all means, your only a few thousand dd miles and several track runs away from proving something.

 

[Batman272]

hmmmm would like to know the gains and losses. please keep us posted

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Lol it won't happen, he blew the motor it looks like?

Also with a new motor unless he puts the stock intake manifold back on, there are too many variables to even compare.

I guarantee you that this manifold will run circles around the stock 2g manifold. I've seen pictures of it and it looks like a well built unit. Maybe the OP will not have any results for us but looking at the way its built I would say it will work just fine. He might loose a little in the lower end but the top end should greatly benefit from that manifold.

When I bought my FRH (forrester racing heads) manifold back in a day, they were the only company that actually had posted results of their manifold vs a stock manifold, that was part of the reason why I bought it, but the main reason why I bought it was because the design of it made sense to me. When I looked at the Magnus manifold I didn't like how the plenum was tapering down towards cylinder #4, in my opinion there is no reason to have that. If you want an engine to perform the same on all cylinders then you want to give it an equal amount of air to all cylinders. There is a reason why they put individual throttle bodies on n/a race engines and its because you get the best air flow from atmospheric pressure to each cylinder and because one cylinder is not robbing air flow/pressure from the other as they would if they were breathing through a plenum on a manifold. If you think about it, it don't make any difference to the engine what kind of pressure is feeding it, whether its n/a or boosted, its going to make power according to how much air it will take. On boosted cars we can't get away without a plenum so the plenum is a must but it has to be equally proportionate around each cylinder or at least be big enough so the pressure drop from each pulsing cylinder does not offset the balance of air flow in the plenum between each cylinder. The old Magnus manifold did just the opposite of that, as the plenum tapered down it might have increased air velocity but it has lost air volume towards cylinder #4 so the air would have to travel faster just to make up for that lost volume which in end result offsets the balance in the manifold.

As far as I know, Magnus has discontinued that manifold and there is a good reason why. I don't remember all the details right now but somewhere I have a magazine that talks about a company that took all the name brand intake manifolds and tested them against a stock EVO manifold. The Magnus manifold had lost HP throughout the whole rpm range. I feel bad for those people that have wasted their $700+ dollars for nothing more then a shiny piece of aluminum.

So my point is that you can't just trust a product because a well known company makes it, you have to apply common sense and physics to it and see how you think it will work for your application. That's why I say results or no results OP's manifold should work just fine.

Deleted double post.

Just to shut you the #### up if/when I get it going again I will take it to the track with the stock mani, run it, then put this one on and run again. I'm not going to dyno it though because dynos don't mean a damn thing to me personally, therefore my car will likely never see on unless I decide to use it to tune.

Very nice post and I agree 100% thanks.

Is there really a need to be a complete and total asshole about it? It seems like you just want this manifold to fail regardless of how it looks.

This guy is a troll. Notice he has no interest in buying the thing but yet he keeps coming back talking shit about the original poster. Pretty obvious what he's doing here. OP, please don't pay this troll any mind.

I've had this thing in my Ebay watchlist for quite some time now and I'm about ready to pull the trigger. I for sure will be dynoing my GSX so for sure I'll post results.

I agree about him, but people like him just piss me off so bad.

Even though I don't have any "proven results" I would recommend this manifold. In my opinion it is actually a quality build. It has everything I think a smim should, being the velocity stacks, equal runner etc. one thing I did forget to mention was the coil pack mounting like any other smim, I had mine sitting ontop of the manifold for the 2 days I got to drive it and got a few nice scratches in it that I get to try and sand and buff out . Worst case I can always powder coat it. Please feel free to post your results and opinions up here if you do pull the trigger.

Anyone looking for my results I'm sorry but can't tell you anymore than I have already I've been dealing with financial aid dept at school all day and after being screwed there I now have a deferment for a month to come up with my tuition so highly doubt I will have it fixed soon, if I don't have to part it out to pay for school.

It's all good man. I actually discovered them on Ebay before you posted this thread but I was a little skeptical even though they had good feeedback. Glad you bought it and can confirm that it fits and looks good. Will let y'all know when I get it and dyno.

 

[Boostn4]

I'd love to see back to back results of this manifold. Even better would be results showing the EVO 1-3 stock manifold as well.
