505 Intake Manifold COMPLETED!

505zoom · Dec 18, 2007

I didn't want to say too much about this until it is done, but more and more people have been asking about it. It's been in the design phase for 2 months, and is being worked on heavily this week. Here is the jist...

Plenum volume and runner size have been optimized with digital flow analysis.
All aluminum and much lighter than stock.
CNC velocity stacks.
Top notch welding.
Optional EGR.
Works with stock AND Perrin fuel rails.
Will be dyno tested vs the stock manifold.

keep me posted about this =)

djarkitek · Dec 18, 2007

sounds good! keep us updated. I'd also like to se if this offer any n/a gains . I currently have the 626 manifold on my n/a...only slight gains though...subscrizzle

Keep me up to date onthe project. Do you have any idea on pricing yet?

Blackrose · Dec 18, 2007

Awsome. Cant wait to see pictures.

I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Sorry..but you have to have a ballpark idea in mind.
You dont enter into something like this without considering that aspect....Period.

And I am very...VERY ..Interested.

Sorry let me rephrase, I have a ballpark idea, but am not going to share it at this time. I want to get the proto done and make sure nothing else comes up before I start talking about price. Only thing that I can say is that it will be more expensive than a new 626 manifold, but it won't be up in the AGP and Magnus 1k range.

Does Magnus make a manifold for the Protege?

Nope, but he was just comparing the price.

Rich , I can't wait to see this badboy, I know its going to be schweeeet

Sorry, meant to say Magnus DSM intake and AGP SRT4 intake. Both are in the 1000 dollar neighborhood.

+1. I realise that you have prolly haven't designed the intake manifold for N/A applications, but as djarkitek said it would be nice to see if there are any potential N/A gains to be had with this manifold.

Would you be able to say that it might be useful for N/A? Are you going to do some N/A testing to see if there is any benefit?

I won't rule it out, but to be honest, I am almost positive that the plenum would need to be redesigned for N/A. If the boosted one sells good, and enough interest is there for a N/A version, I will see what I can do.

Keno1542 · Dec 19, 2007

interested...but will have to see the price ratio of this v. 626 v. steed speed and the ratio of that to the power gained per dollar

I dont think Steed Speed even has a proto IM yet. So that would be a tough one to compare.

Yeah, when we see the performance gains on the boosted manifold I guess we will be able to judge whether there will be the possibility of making an N/A manifold work. It will probably depend on sales too.

Will you doing a flow bench comparison of the stock manifold and the new one once the development is complete??

Keep up the good work. If one things for certain, its that our IM suck. Anything to improve intake flows would be great.

Cheers.

There is no doubt that the new one will flow better than stock on the bench, but I will still look into that.
