72139, Intake Manifold Shootout

This is for the 4g63 engine, but should shed some light on how intake manifolds effect the power band. 11 manifolds are going to be tested!!

hell ya but this will definitely help us to design our own

The testing went really well. Some of the manifold put down some impressive numbers, and surprising torque differences. Exact results are still secret at this point though, but should be out soon.

Just a little inside info for ya, since I'm a site admin on RMDSM.org. If you go to www.rmdsm.org the banner at the top is a pic of my car and the owner of the site, Dave Landry's car. His car is the one that was used to test all the manifolds.

You should tell them to make one for the 420a engine. When will the results be released?? a few hours, days, weeks??

fast fabrications makes an intake mani for the 420a right?

I may be wrong on this, but an intake manifold is the plenum + runners. If that is true Fastfabs makes a plenum that attaches to the lower half of the stock runners. It looks like a good unit and should give good gains. The fastfabs plenum is light years ahead of the stock plenum and shorter runners should help the top end out.

i should be testing the fast fabrications one soon on a turbo 420A
so we hope to get numbers for it soon for u guys

Me either. What's an ice cycle? How bizare that not only will there have to be ice in hell, but someone will have to ride a bike made of ice upside down freezing their balls off. I guess that's why they call it hell imo...

:P

hmmm...what if we just cut off the flange for the 4g63 and welded our flange to it? besides the tb location, thatd be some seriously rigged shit imo :P

I don't think that the port spacing on the heads (4G63 VS. 420a) are the same, otherwise, it could be a viable option to hack off the flange, hack off the plenum, put a 420a flange on it, and rotate the plenum. By viable, I mean a waste of time.

Haha :) I asked Magnus to do that once and Marco said , Sure! ...for 1500 bucks.. :(

It would be less labour intensive for him to just make a manifold for us. By less labour intensive, I mean that he still wouldn't bother with it.

The stock manifold did well. The venom did well especially since everyone says they are junk.

those results mean absolutly shit to us.

how about a manifold for the 420a, that someone has ACTUALY built for the 420a, TESTED on the 420a, and ready to SELL to someone who has a 420a!
