Ive posted a similar thread in the AMS forums group but just wanted to ensure I dont get any biased advice from AMS forum groupies! :-)

just putting together the pieces for my new GT35r stroker engine build and was wondering if there are any power graphs of a engines running with AMS VSR inlet vs HKS Kansai or other manifold?

thanks in adv. and happy new year!

 

May be AMS is not the best but one of the best....

 

What else is there? Magnus and the AMs one is the only Sheetmetal ones I've heard of.

 

This isn't answering your question, but the HKS Kansai one I believe needs a new throttle body, ( I believe it uses a 90mm diameter throttle from the a Nissan) and you'll need to reroute your IC piping.

So it looks like major surgery.

 

Never ever buy MAGNUS!!!!!
It has been cracked 5 times. My boost 30+psi
REAL CRAP!!! Just buy AMS and forget about problems!

 

Good to know! thanks for the tip. I guess its down to AMS. I really dont know of others out there, so I am NO help.

 

I think they both need custom pipework but thats not a problem.
would be v interested in seeing graphs if poss.
The hks kansai is circa $1750, the ams $900.

 

great question.
looking foward to this as well

 

I am pretty sure AMS used the magnus intake to get base line that they wanted to improve on when they were designing the manifold they sell. They dont want to bash another vender so the info was not made public. Go with the AMS.

 

RnR also makes an intake manifold that is up there with the rest! It also features welding on the inside seams as well to prevent cracks and hold high intake pressures. Fitment is good and can be built to mate your choice throttle-body!
Not to mention it looks good too, polished and all.

 

Hold on a few weeks more... There are a new manifold comming out from the #1 Turbo kit producers in the USA

 

um, who would that be.

 

Dont buy a magnus they crack way too much. I had to re-tig my manifold 3-4 times on my GSX and I was only runing 20-22 psi when it cracked. Ams is alot better and way thicker and have never heard of one cracking as of yet.

 

Full Race buddy =)

Or why not go the whole way and get a JUN surge tank?

 

i love the JUN and they're proven.
but the price is a killer.
but it is quality and probably the very best you can get.

if u can afford the JUN...go for it
