Magnus Special Race Intake Manifold, any one using it?


"Our standard manifold has become the industry standard, proving to make over 40hp to the wheels on street cars and race cars alike. Our Race Machines have been testing these designs for the last few seasons. Now we have brought our custom one off pieces to production. This style intake was designed for the high revving motors that spend the better part of their time above the 8000 RPM range. Variations of the Race manifold have tested to be able to improve engine breathing up to 10,500 RPM. The Race Intake features our original CNC velocity stack design and spherical endcaps. It makes better use of the plenum size and air distribution, by feeding all 4 runners AT ONCE from the bottom of the intake, along the entire length of the plenum."

Looks exactly like the design trinibabe was making.

are these type of parts only good for drag or do people use them for road racing as well, because i noticed on your website, all the car that were listed are strictly drag racers.

 

That is why you don't post up the R&D aspect on the internet... because people will straight jack them.

Also either or intake manifold will be a great asset for road racing/track/etc since you will be utilzing their full potential. IE (stayin in the high rpm power band)

 

Magnus has been making that exact manifold for at least 3 years and that thread was just started a couple months ago.

 

Will there be any benefit on a 2.3l if you rev to 8500-9000K?

 

Magnus has it on their shop car, 2.4 revving to 9500.

 

I can also verify magnus was working on his 2 years before trinababe. And HKS used the design before marco.

 

damm and i just ordered my intake...i should have waited

 

It would be far more likely that Magnus' work got jacked.
These people you speak of (MagnusMotorsports) are pioneers in the 4g63 world. You should know what your talking about before you accuse anyone.

 

Marco Passante, owner of Magnus Motorsports, was a winner at this years DSM Shootout in an 8 second pass, knocking Buschur out of the eliminations. He also builds the motors for several other notable single digit racecars. He's been doing that for years.

Marco's Magnus manifolds have been the best known sheet metal intake manifolds in the DSM world for years, and Magnus was doing Evo motors and parts for overseas customers before Evos were even imported into North America.

The manifold that is pictured has been built for years by Magnus as well. If anyone started building something in the last year that looks like this, it's a great bet that they're copying the Magnus manifold as well. Magnus also builds sheet metal Subaru manifolds, one of which a loser from a Southern state tried to reverse engineer last year. Several Asian manufacturers have also tried to copy his manifolds.

Marco also is well known for building very capable strokers and was also one of the pioneers of the 2.1 "destroker" concept. He has custom long rods in 156mm and 162mm, which are not commonly available from other sources, and custom pistons to match. These give a better rod ratio than the standard 2.3 strokers using stock length rods.

Excellent workmanship on everything. These guys have forgotten more about 4g63 performance than alot of newer shops ever knew.

The only reason that Magnus is not better known on this board is that his company and location is in Toronto, CANADA. Yep, a Canuck. Don't hold that against him.

www.magnusmotorsports.com is the link if you want to see what they offer.

 

That was a stupid comment.

Like previously said, Marco is a pioneer in both the DSM and EVO world and doesn't "Jack" peoples designs. Besides intake mani's are a somewhat standard design from the outside. It's the people who spend the time doing R&D to perfect the way it works that make it a good manifold. While yes that looks like trinibabe's mani it also looks like 100 mani's out there. Not much room for creative design on a pretty standard piece. At least not from the outside.

 

There's nothing unique about either manifold in the basic designs. The power is found in the details (optimizing shapes, runner shapes/lengths, etc.)

Audi has been using this on the Audi R8 Lemans car since 2000:

 

the guys at magnus are great , marco built my engine , these guys are serious hardcore race shop
