who runs this set up?

[goonie]

does any one run with this setup?
just like to get some more info on how it performs
thanks

Chinabay CRAP! Don't waste your money. Improperly engineered pieces of garbage.

Proof??

Didn't think so.



There has been questions regarding the throttle bodies on the link boards, but for the high cost of the TB, no one's really jumped on the bandwagon for them yet.

Show me proof of them being decent! With stress testing, mileage on the product, and product control parameters. Until then, it's a crap product designed to steal money from the people who worked hard on the R&D of their products. Call me a pessimist, but until there is proof that the product is worth the cost, it isn't worth the dirt the metal was dug from.

that's some amazing looking, very expensive "crap"

do you have a newsletter i may subscribe to?

I agree, those runners do not look tuned, shorter runner may give you more torque. Then again it could create turbulance and wreck manifold pressure at high end.

Tuned? Tuning intake runner length and width is so setup dependent, that no one would sell SMIMs (Magnus, JM fab) if we all were looking for tuned manifolds. NO intake manifold is tuned unless it's built based on your intake closed duration and preferred rpm range. "Engineering" a SMIM is EASY otherwise! They can all be designed to run really well in the 'upper revs'. This one looks to do the same. How are the welds? How are the flanges? Those are the questions. The runners look fine. The plenum looks plenty big and has a taper to number one. Just fine for performance sake.

Can anyone tell how well a weld job is by a single picture?

I like how the throttle body flange on the manifold is angled to do away w/ the TB elbow. If the flange is an oem bolt pattern, then you can use the n/t throttlebody (the same bore as a 1g TB) which has a lip to hold a coupler and a larger opening than a 1g throttlebody elbow. All the 4g63 n/t recepticles plug into the harness. Junkyard cheapness.

wel.. the welds are ok they look good (i can tell i am a welder)
the inside is polished and smooth
i will try to make some pics and post them later on

I posted this already on the Dsmlink forums about these and just like you noobs you made fun of these new products and bashed them without any proof. It just so happens that a friend of mine which is Fast89lx #15 on bragging rights, Runs this setup from KU engineering only on his Supra. Its the fake Jun intake manifold and the Fake hks fuel rail and the 100mm throttle body, along with a ebay intercooler. He runs 9.45 @ 145+ in his supra... I'll find the video for you.. Its tested and it works, I've also talked with the seller of these items inbetween emails and it is not junk, they use the same machines as would any respectable shop. It pisses me off that you guys respond without knowing anything about anything... Good job. You = FTL...

Also who makes a 70mm throttlebody that retains your ISC and tps and bolts to your stock manifold? Nobody... I would trust this stuff more than I would trust a mustang throttlebody.. The only negative thing I can see is that some of their throttlebodys use bearings on the shaft and bearings on the tb shaft without o-rings usually leak. but this is so far untrue on the supra 100mm tb...

thanks for your reply
finaly a serieus answer to my question
so its save to believe the mannifold performs good?
i wasnt worried about the quality because i have the mannifold right here in front of me
and the welds look good material also and its totaly polished inside and out
from the looks of it its realy a great piece of work
thanks

Do you have a link to the vendor?

Edit: nevermind. Here's a link: http://www.japengineshop.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=article&Id=287145&Ntype=1

It mentions that the manifold is $380 then at the bottom of the page it shows $899. . . Is this including the throttlebody? I just want the intake manifold and run an n/t throtlebody. . .

BTW. . . this is not made in china so whoever fabricated that story should apologize. You made everyone sound like you knew where this product originated when you obviously havn't even seen it before.

 

[oldman420]

Has anybody actually ran this on a 4g63 yet? because speculation is fine and all I guess. So i guess goonie you are going to have to tell us all how it performs, and withstands the pervibial 4g beating.

... shorter runner may give you more torque. Then again it could create turbulance and wreck manifold pressure at high end.

No longer runners yields more torque, compair the length of your stock runners to any after market manifold! The after marker manifolds are looking for more flow up top, but not necessarily down low grunt.

 

[oldman420]

Right, i did get those mixed up. My appologies.

And thank you yardie and dsmonster for you correction.

 

[goonie]

here are some close ups of the mannifold

 

[oldman420]

Your right it does look pretty well built.

What did you pay for that baby?

 

[goonie]

like i said earlier i was not worried about the quality
just wanted to know if there were any dsm's out there with this manifold
to get some info about the performance

this vendor also sells on e-bay ku_engineering
you can make an offer also

i dropped him a mail and he made me a decent price
i paid 950 for this combo manifold and 70mm throttle body including shipping (about 150$)

 

[1gnasty]

the only part i dont like about them,is that the runners are kind of short so the power band will be kind of high up in the rpm range
