What intake Manifold for 2g guys?

[Aproductions]

Should I keep my stock intake manifold or is there another manifold that is popular for the 2g guys like myself. thanks

You could upgrade to the Evo III/RVR manifold, which is a direct bolt on. There are a few threads on this so you can do some searching and get more info.

Other than that, you'd have to go SMIM if you want to get away from the stocker.

A good upgrade for you if you plan on running a 2g head is getting an Evo III IM. I have one and I love it, they are alittle hard to find but if you live on ebay or the classifieds here for a few weeks one will pop up.Evo III Intake Manifold



EDIT Damn Brian beat me to it, but yea heres a link to the thread he told you to search for anyway.

you can always port the manifold

You can also call up RRE and ask if they still have their extrude honed 2g IM. Its been in their Garage Sale page of the website for years. The last time I was up there I was digging through crap on their shelves and I found the thing, it does look amazing internally but on the outside it looks like an OEM 2g IM.

Heres the link to pictures of it, you just have to scroll down to Intake to see it. 2g Extrude Honed IM by RRE

So basically I need to find the rare evo3 manifold or get the weapon R smim or something.

Weapon R is said to have to most HP gain. I had a friend who did every kind of DSM intake manifold on a flow bench. I'll try and find his results

How in the world would weapon r make more hp than magnus, jmf, driven innovations, forrester, and dvdtfab?
JMF Street, Race or Drag SMIM is what I would go with. I had the street and before that had the magnus. I would take JMF any day over magnus.

If you profile is up to date then I wouldn't worry about a upgraded intake manifold or SMIM. With a stock turbo alll it will do is hurt your performance.

a rebuild is in progress and im getting a evo316g with fp race mani

 

[1gDSM4g63]

Still, I would hold off until you're really pushing the evo316g or at least for a SMIM.

Agreed. You can spend your $700 elsewhere and get more bang for your buck. I'm at 350 awhp on a street tune, should be at 400 once it gets up on the dyno and the Evo III IM is doing just fine. Your going to be right around 300hp and your stock 2g IM won't do you any good replacing until after the 400hp mark.

Weapon R is a 'ricer' material brand for Honduh peeps.

Like Gamble97 said, they are other prominent fabricators like JM Fab, Magnus, DVDTFAB, Redline, etc... that do more research & developement. That's why the have street, race and drag manifold and it all count on the flow rate of the turbo and the rest of your setup to determine what can accommodate you the best.

I get what you are both saying....Im just going buy specs i've seen and Magnus did the worst on the flow bench...but...a flow bench can only go so far...
