Indy Intake V2 done and tested.
ok i understand the sleeper factor.........
but if this intake is so hard to make, and costs so much, and apparently IndyEvo thinks he can make much more power with a sheet metal intake, then why bother with this?
how much more would a sheetmetal intake be?

I think the testing that's been going on, even BEFORE posting any results, has revealed a lot of data for the 'Smaller-Green' range. Without question, between Davids testing, Indy's calculations/design and Wilson's porting and refinements, the Street Version or the V1/V2 will be all anyone could possibly want on the street or smaller turbos.

However, why would you take people going through test data personally? It's what engineers do. Just because someone might question the data doesn't mean you're a liar...it means they're not sure about the data.
Anyways, thanks again.
The main question is really, "When would he have time to build one from SCRATCH", which is what the original question was. Indy is beginning to get so covered up, that a manifold from scratch is less than being able to see a fart in a whirlwind. There's only so much time available. Right now, he's involved in Radiators, Fresh-air, suspensions, engine parts, manifold testing, etc, etc. He's covered. I wouldn't look for him creating something from scratch any time soon. Everything is a progression.

Mike, I think this is going to be another one of those "get'em while you can". Just making a post that you want one isn't going to get it at your door. I understand people wanting to take a watch-and-wait attitude sometimes, but in this case, you have to evaluate who's-doing-what and what their history reveals. This is another no-brainer. I'll say it again, "Get'em while their hot". disclaimer: I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PRODUCT OR IT'S PROFIT OR NON-PROFIT. IT JUST DOESN'T TAKE ME VERY LONG TO LOOK AT A HOT HORSESHOE.
Is this V2 manifold not going to perform well with a stock/green turbo?I'm with Dave when he says screw theory and let's see what the real world testing shows... I'm more interested in what the data is on a stock turbo car/green with the V2 vs stocker...
I'm all for buying one, having Ivey do a back to back test - but I just don't want to get stuck with a $1500+ modified stock manifold if it's not going to work in my application...
If you want to see that kind of data (data specific to the Green), you'll have to wait.

Ill leave the comments on how the v2 might work on a stocker or green to David..
Stock turbo'd cars/green cars will get taken care of eventually on the dyno.
Anyone who wants to buy these just call us and order. You won't be charged until the parts are done and ready to ship out.
Mike, thanks for getting some over to Wilson. I have a batch to send out here, just waiting on enough orders to ship them down with details how we want them done, V0, V1 or V2.

Also guys, Until i get some in my hands from BR, all pre-orders for these will go thru Buschur Racing.. Thanks!!

BUT
cutting an intake in half, porting it, reweilding it, shot peening it, seems like a lot more work than just welding the pipes together that have been premade. that is much more of an automated process and not as labor intensive.
Im not asking for him to design a sheetmetal intake, im asking why he even bothered with the stocker in the first place, he must have known the labor and limitations involved before he started.
