Dave...you are a man who is known to test everything. You of all people should know that it usually takes more than one try to get it where you want it to be. Everyone knows that you will pull out a winning product it the end. But I must say, That is a hell of a first try.

 

Thank you. It is the first try, there will be atleast one more. I have to build this next one just to have something that fits how I want it to and to employ the rest of the ideas I have. I hope it just works well enough to leave it on the car!

 

Looks bad azz on the car bud, and you know all the cylinders are flowing good!

Put a sticky 3in Wilson T-Body on that biotch

 

it's stand up of you to admit for $140 you could do well enough to justify not paying $600

on that note

I just sent my stock intake manifold in yo you guys for treatment today...woohoo

 

earlier in the thread you were talking about running a egt or wb02 in each cylinder to test how the different flow bench numbers translate. Have you tried reading the plugs after each run?

 

I did not pull the plugs out of the car after running it, I do that on occasion but did not during any of this testing.

The leanest any of the intakes run was by far this one we built. The power didn't reflect it though. The car went 1 full air fuel point leaner at 40 psi on the fab'd intake. I added quite a lot of fuel to bring the AFR's back down to about 12:1, power stayed the same.

 

Today a customer brought by his JMF Drag intake manifold and asked me to flow test it. Very good results on the flow bench with the highest CFM flow of all the intakes I have tested so far. The intake was flowed with a 3" throttle body, all the rest were done with 65mm.

#1-335
#2-336
#3-330 (-1%)
#4-324 (-3%)
Total CFM 1325

Very well balanced, quality looked nice, it has 5-5/8" runners and a large plenum with raised velocity stacks in it. It will be interesting to get the car on the dyno, not my car, the customer who owns the intake.

 

Hey DB,

I remember you did a test in the past where you comapred the hks kansi and the DI with the stock ported intake manifold (or was it unported??), where it showed that the DI and Kansai had considerable gains right??

Another thought, Magnus claim on their website that the V5 intake manifold showed 40-50 whp gain over the stock intake manifold on a 3037 turbo. Do you think it's worth to test this one too??


The results of this test were quite shocking, but it's nice to know that u only need to spend 140$ on the intake manifold to get the best

 

I have NEVER tested the ported intake/tb on any car back to back with anything else except for another stock intake/stock tb on a 300 whp car. The testing last year with the Kansai/DI was done against the stock ported intake.

Yes, the new Magnus seems to be doing very well in all the testing I have seen too.

 

Hey Dave,seems you use Ross Machine velocity and runners ,right?

 

Yes, the intake I built used parts from Ross Machine, very nice parts.

 

Thanks for posting this Dave. That customer was me , i asked Dave a few times to flow bench this for me. Something deep down told me that this product was the real deal. Always had the gut feeling, im glad he gave it a shot and gave me a shot. Im glad this did not wast his time and it performed just as i thought it would.

 

Dave the difference in flow between runners doesn't matter in effect due to the runners being able to supply many times the flow required by the engine. In other words, the runners can flow more than the engine can take through the open valves.

 

More news coming in the morning. We have a new winner and you won't believe it when you read it.

 

common on,dont do that,give us a hint.
