jm fab intake

[greanbeans]

what jm fab intake would work better for a hx35-40 turbo the street version or the race version. Or just get the race version and call it done? i dont know which one is better for that turbo. what exhaust manifold would work better with a hx35-40 turbo also. i heard fp works for the 14-20g style turbo but havent really read into it much so if anyone knows anything just let me know cause im a little bit lost.

Drag manifold or I'd go with the Magnus V3 intake. As for the manifold, you can do a bolt on housing and use a 2g or FP manifold or run a T3 housing and a custom divided or undivided manifold or buy one from a shop/vendor on tuners. It's up to you as far as price range and power goals.

What will the car be? Dd, weekend car, strip only? For a simple exhaust go with the bolt on housing from bep with an fp manifold. That way you dont have to pay more for a custom exhaust setup. The jmf race manifold is more geared toward upper rpm power, street aims at mid range power.

Yeah but with how much the HX40 flows I would suggest running the Drag. The Race will be "restrictive" as far as overall potential but a stock intake would work just fine as well. It all depends on what you're trying to do I guess.

If your doing a bolt on HX35 stick with a stock intake. The TH gets backed up and it won't make power over 7000, where the JMF ect. shine.

The Bolt on HX40 would be a little better, but not much.

There are people out there running stock manifolds with hx40s.... So a street is an upgrade, like I said it all a diffrence in there the torque is wanted, upper or midrange

Agree 100%.

Not really, all the smim's generally hurt the bottom end while bolstering the top end. The problem is a bolt on HX40 is a bottom end to midrange geared turbo. and the most important fact to take away from this is the TURBO IS THE LARGEST DETERMINING FACTOR IN THE POWERBAND. The bolt on HX40 isn't going to pull up into the 8k area that SMIM's are designed to work. What you will be doing is taking away area under the curve for a minor increase in peak power.

Now something like an EVOIII intake is a much better choice as it's designed for peak power around 7-7500RPM, and that would complement the powerband of a bolton much better.

so evo 3 stock intake is better then a aftermarket intake. and as far as use it will be a weekend race/dd during the week

and what tubo would you guys recomend me run on my car cause im thinking about selling the 16g i have and going bigger

 

[jpmxrider489]

You can use a fp mani with the hx40. Its a good combo. As far as intake mani, im running the race version of it. Im happy with it.

Yeah, I think for a bolt on HX35 or 40 a evoIII intake and a 2g head would be just about right.

As for a turbo, you need to come up with a list of goals.

For example when I picked my HY35, here are the points I looked at, not in any order.

1. Ability to trap 130+ in a full weight car
2. Earliest spool possible
3. Price
4. Ability to run stock fans
5. Internally gated
6. Reliability.

I ended up going with a HY35 on a turbonetics manifold, and it has been great so far.

For you, first figure out how much money you have to spend. From then you can figure out how much power you can afford.

Well the engine I have now the.bottomend is toast the head has cams, valves, springs and retainers. It has also been ported and polished. I'm going to be getting a new shortblock with 0 miles on it and its got evo 8 internals in it so I just want to be able to support the engine to get the most power I can with what I can afford

Even if that means buying things one at a time and waiting till I have everything to build a decent streetable motor

 

[954TalonTsi]

So like ive stated before, street im is aimed more at mid range power.... I never stated itd help with lower rpm, thats why I posted about people using stock im's to help the lower rpms. If you have to, with an hx40 stick with stock or evo 3 and a fp exhaust. Get a smim if you will rev it out more often then not.

Yeah but with how much the HX40 flows I would suggest running the Drag. The Race will be "restrictive" as far as overall potential but a stock intake would work just fine as well. It all depends on what you're trying to do I guess.

This is a contradiction... Street would be restrictive but stock is ok??? No way

 

[greanbeans]

I'll just get the exhaust and turbo setup first then worry about what works under the hood

 

[gakattack456]

I ran the Race version on a 2.4L and it held to the end like a bat out of hell. I also run the Magnus V5 (EVO IX) and am really impressed with the craftsmanship and great heat dissipation. It all depends on what you are looking for out of the car. I would hold onto your money, go stock bolt on housing with HX35 with FP manifold. What are you tuning with?

 

[greanbeans]

ecmlink once i install it

 

[Gizmo63T]

Let me use this topic for a question..
I'm planing on running Speed Density and for easier AIM install i was thinking of getting JMF street version intake manifold. Now I see that upgrading the manifold is mostly good if you use big setup, otherwise you will loose on pefromance. Or I got something wrong?

I'm will be running 68HTA and GSC S1 cams with FP exhaust manifold. Will I kill the performance with that intake manifold?
Car will be for street fun.

I think it would be a great combination. That is a very fast spooling turbo and the reduced size of the jmf street vs the drag should keep the ve slightly higher than the race. Will be much more efficient at higher rpms than the stock manifold also. I couldnt find this guy on tuners by his youtube user name (97awdgst) but if you look at the video info he has a detailed listing of whats been done to the car.

Wow, you helped me alot. Thank you!

Thats "Gofer"'s car, he is a mod on here. Pretty sure he is running the drag manifold with a 68hta and fp cams.
