How much HP will I gain by switching to a 1G intake manifold and TB.

[BIGBLAZE79]

Hi all,

1st post here, I usually just search for info I need for my car.
this site has helped me out a ton by reading about others experiences and warnings.

Here's my car:
1997 talon AWD


Mods #1 - K+N, ported big16G, ported exhaust man\O2, , Gretty BOV, ACT2600, 660 inj and 190 Waldro fuel pump W/rewire. SAFC, profec-B, no cat, N1 cat back, Guages -EGT, air fuel, boost.

Mods #2- FMIC, short rought IC piping, Weisco pistons, Eagle rods, No B-shafts, FP2 cams, Crower springs Ti retainers, ARP crank and head studs, devils own water\alcahol inj,

My question is; How much power should I expect to gain by changing my intake manafold and TB to a 1G.

I am about to put the engine together with mods #2 new and am unsere if i should upgrade befor the install. I don't want my stock mani to screw me from the power potential of all these mods. My best time is 13.8 and want to hit atleast 12's or i will be PISSED!

I spun the #2 rod bearing and had the crank regound, nitrided and polished. I know its frowned on but i have a real good machine shop and am confident if all motor specs are good and i prime the oil and start it with the clutch sensor unhooked. The motor will last another 106K.

Sometimes your only purpose in life is to serve as a warning for everyone else!!!!

I also participated in the Justin ssautochrome FMIC buy and got it today. I see no reason why this could be a bad setup, maybe hard work to install but WTF isn't hard work with this car

The 1G TB & Manifold are better than the 2Gs the runner is bigger and the tb is 60mm compare to the 52mm. A great upgrade and the gains are in the top end power.

If you have a 1G Head to match the 1G Intake manifold then upgrading to 1G TB & Manifold would be a excellent upgrade and you will gain a lot of power. BUT If you are running 2G head then is pointless to have a 1G TB & Manifold because the runners are the same size as a 2G Intake manifold so it isn't helping much, You could see some small gains but if you port the 2G runners or get a 1G Head to match the 1G Intake manifold only then you can feel some differences.

You can test it out yourself i'm sure you can find the 1G TB & Manifold for under 100 or so and eventually you will have to upgrade

You'll have port match the head to the intake runners or you won't see much gain at all....if any.
