Magnus race vs Jmf race smim

Its time to up the anti with the second built of the talon. I'm going to go with a 6262 from pte on a built 2.0. I really like both manifolds and I think that there equal as far as build quality. I just wanted some feed back with your experience of either manifolds on your set ups.
Thanks,
John

They are both decent manifolds, but there are other good options out there as well.

Check out this thread:

JMF vs magnus Intake manifold - Page 7 - DSM Forums: Mitsubishi Eclipse, Plymouth Laser, and Eagle Talon Forum: DSMtalk.com

And this thread referring to flow bench results for a variety of DSM SMIM's. Please understand that it is only a tuning benchmark to work off of, NOT a who's better than who. When running a larger turbo you will want to look for an intake manifold with a large surge-tank plenum and medium length tapered runners. The thicker the material, and the design shape will help dramatically in high-boost applications.

Be sure to also look at the Beyond Redline Performance SMIM (Beyond Redline, Performance Center ), and the AMS VSR SMIM (AMS DSM VSR (Velocity Stack Runner) Intake Manifold - Automotosports, Inc. ) as they are both extremely high quality SMIM's that are proven to produce very good numbers on large turbo/high-boost applications due to their design. Flow numbers only mean a part of the puzzle. If you are running a standalone engine management that can control your fuel trims and injector offsets, you can adjust accordingly for flow variations between cylinders to correct AFR's and prevent detonation.

Here is a technical writeup that I did on the Beyond Redline SMIM as well:

Good luck with your decisions,

Hey thanks for all the info, I have a lot of reading to do before I make my final decision.

Yes, yes you do. There is alot of good information on the DSMTuners forum, as well as DSMTalk; mostly unbiased information, but sometimes we have our days....


Good luck with your decision, and make it an informed one!
