Intake manifold what do you think?

[jstgon]

I am looking at something different. And yes I understand it is ebay and yes I know you get what you pay for. I am trying to contact them before I even think about buying this. The design is different that the normal JMF manifold, similar to what the supras use. Any thoughts on this intake manifold? It says its a cast aluminum. And if you want to rag on me for thinking about about just keep it to yourself. Just thought I would ask to see what people think. Some sr20 guys are using them i noticed and have gotten good results.

well it looks pretty damn sweet and the quality of the welds and everything look good.. but $550 is a lot of money..

At $670 (550+120shipping) I think it is overpriced. Also those runners are very very short. If you buy it do some before and after logs.

i just saw they want $120 for shipping?!?! WTF I wouldnt buy it just for that reason. It would cost $12 to ship that, their hosing you

 

[BogusSVO]

its being shipped from over seas, and being cast, it will be heavy, the shipping dosnt look to outta wack

that seems like a lot of money you can find darn nice ones for 500. it does look pretty sweet though.

Wow those are short runners!! good bye low end power. I do like the design though.

No I am not running a 1g head. I emailed the company and am waiting for an email back. Yea there are two companies selling these one is KU engineering and the other is pnt performance. KU had the same exact one up but they gave you the option to give them an offer.

i'd tell them to shove that manifold up there ass. looks like something some random kid made in his garage.

Kind of expensive for a part that you dont really know how it performs.I would be sketch about buying something that you dont know will work and for that much money you could buy a part thats been proven.But good luck whatever you decide to do.

If you still have the 7bolt engine, the Evo III intake manifold is your best OEM solution.

But the stock intakes are more than enough for most people.

$670 for a manifold without seeing test results? No thanks.

Although, if it proves to be a good performer, then some engine builds may be able to take advantage of such a design.

If it says that the manifold is for an evo 1,2,or 3 then those cars would have 6 bolts,correct?So you have a 2g head, which has different shaped intake ports then that found on a 1g.So that IM wouldn't work on your car.But I may be wrong,or maybe your running a 1g head?

EVO 2 and 3 are 7 bolts. EVO 1 is a 6 bolt, same exact engine from the 90-92 GVR4's.

i ship stuff every day (i do all shipping and receiving at my job) and that wouldnt come any where near $120 if it was coming from over seas or not. Id get something thats proven

 

[jstgon]

Yea thats why i contacted the companies. I emailed each one and have yet to get a response. I am going to email them each again and see what they say. I will not buy it if they do not get back in contact with me. I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried something like this out or anything.

[jstgon]

Thanks for the information. I will have to do some more looking at that.

Yeah the shorter runners contributed 15 whp less at 5500 RPM, but 45 more at 8000. Looks like your going to be needing that eprom tcu to get your automatic to shift that high. =)
