you can buy a ported blower for 300 (with a 500$ refundable core fee) that leaves 200$ for the intake manifold and core charge...... that would be a good price if all that were a thousand....... didnt say i expected them to give all that for that price but 700$ for an intake manifold is not a very good price... i would like to see what just the manifold cost.

 

yes intense racing sells ported blowers for 300 dollars with a 500 dollar core refund. So 700 dollars for a ported intake manifold is just raping you.

 

where are u guys seeing 700 bucks at for it? i dont see it? come on now. there is no official price yet so stop saying its rapping you. so far the guestimated price is 1000 for a ported intake and supercharger, no info if that price includes a core charge or not. so relax and wait for official pricing before you guys say anything.

 

1000 - 300 = 700 welcome to the first grade

 

ok 700 for ported intake and s/c still not to shabby if the gains are good. and like i said no official price yet. no official core charge price nothing, what if its 500 for the core charge. i know how to add and subtract dumb ass, but until theres official price stop bashin prices cuz your the one who looks like the *******.

 

u guys sound exactly like ******* cavalier owners. YOU HAVE TO PAY TO MAKE HP SIMPLE CONCEPT, YOU WANNA PLAY WITH THE BIG BOYS THAN PAY UP OTHERWISE STAY HOME,


god if u think a 1000 bucks is expensive than wow, dont ******* buy it, atleast someone is spending money to figure out why our shitty supercharger is even shittier, so if you gain 10 hp, it might be more over a time period instead of just at a peak, maybe itll flatline the hp curve more thus making power through a better rpm range, cuz i bet if it does frop your boost down to 10.5 stock, its running way cooler and way more efficient, remember more psi = doesnt always = more power just more restriction, so if u think a 1000 is unreasonable just shut up and wait see what kind power range this add on is capable of





arrggg cheap god damned cobalt owners

sorry end rant


and yes i do own a cobalt as well

 

hehe i like this guy, and he's right on the money too. honda owners spend mucho money on there cars without hesitation, but a dang domestic sport compact owner always bitch. i hate to see them own a damn V8 when headers cost 1400 bucks. intake manifolds cost 900, catback costing 900+, superchargers costing 6k+ then they'd really be crying.

 

i guess im one of the few owners who isn't afraid to drop the cash on quality parts. i just prefer to sit back and wait for real world numbers, and real world reviews from people who have bought the stuff.

 

I got no problems spending 1000 bux, if I believe I am getting what I paid off. In fact I have spent over 6k on my car.

I have a background in science, data and flow charts and dyno graphs help a lot... I don't believe their is 30 hp in flow improvements in a single part anywhere in this engine.

 

and thats how it should be, u want to go fast then spend the money on a quality part, wait for numbers or something thats fine but dont bash something cuz of a price.

 

the cylinder head there is

 

I don't think there is 30 whp in the cylinder head

 

i thought you meant 30 crank. i will know soon enough though

 

Zinner, I agree there is not 30whp, because there is more ! How can you explain that :

"The new turbo Ecotec immediately cranked out 350 hp at 7000 rpm on ONLY 2 psi boost ..."

"At 450 hp and ONLY 8 psi boost, the GM team began blowing head gaskets ..."

"The Ecotec was finally reliable to 650 hp at 19 psi of boost -- a relatively low level of boost, indicating outstanding volumetric efficiency ... "

Rebel where are the dyno results for the ported head ?

 

Why is every one jump on each other cases? They wanted to heat other people thoughts and that is what they are getting. There are always people that want to go fast for cheap from cavalier owners to vette owners. Then you have the other side that will put big blocks in festivas. Some people will pay anything to make something fast. I don't know, I'm done rambling sorry if this makes no since.

 

PM SENT!!! I dont need it but I do have a intake mani I can ship out asap. Its been sitting in my basement for a couple weeks now in a box waiting for someone to need it!

 

yep, I cruise with single turboed supras, COMPLETELY badass evos, stis, and srt4 lol and I need more speed.....thusly, BIG BUCKS lol

 

Alright...took my car into them and they now have my car. From what my friend told me when he dropped it off, they said they didn't know when they would be able to start work on it.

I don't know what rebel has to say yet, as I'm still waiting to hear back from them...but the company rebel is working with does have my intake manifold and supercharger now. So...hopefully they'll get started soon and we'll see results before january.

 

I might be interested if the price gets better

 

I would definately purchase one of these. This forum is so confusing to me sometimes, I'm hearing people complain about spending 1000 bucks on an intake manifold, and then i see cars with 19" wheel at tire package that makes them go slower......Anyways I'm going to start saving for some mods this spring so please keep us posted on your progress.

 

Im down for this as soon as i get $50. im gonna ***** my self for u guys. Kool?? haha

 

I'm interested in seeing what this would do for me, I'm running a turbo right now with and adapter elbow to the stock intake manifold. I'd like to keep the air/water intercooler also since I"m seeing IAT2's of mid 80's to low 90's at 18 psi and 75-78 degree ambiant temps. After the air to air I"m showing 109-112 degrees and after the manifold @the 80's. If you can show me some flow numbers showing extra cfm or less restriction, I'd be more than happy to buy one. PLease keep me updated on this since I"d swap mine out in a heartbeat to gain some more power.

 

you have to realize, if you were running a stock supercharger wit this setup, you would not be making 12psi anymore...psi is a better measurement to the resistance of flow entering the cylinders. porting everything and adding some wild cams will allow more airflow, lowering PSI...so 2psi on that engine could very well be the equivalent of 12psi from our m62...i guarantee our m62 will not be making more than 8psi on that setup, and even 4 is questionable...not to mention thats 2psi of turo boost, much more efficient (cooler) than s/c boost

 

How long are we talking? I have my intake manifold sitting and collecting dust, but if you guys are gonna take as long as you did with the twin screw, then I can't donate my manifold. However if we're looking at a fairly decent R&D period I might be interested.

 

I let them use my car and really havent heard much. I always have to email them for updates...and its always " we'll get back to you on this "...kinda sucks.

Also I know you posted back in oct...but I got bored so I figured I'd dig up old topics. lol
