Ok, I have to say that intake manifold is not too bad for a first try. Considering the space available on the LD9 (I had a GM supercharged Z24 myself so I understand).

The LSJ has a bit more room up front so I could see something just a bit better for it. I would not knock air to air because it I see potential with that as well. Only if I had a TIG welder....

 

How much of a gain can we see from a air to water build?

 

Take this intercooler

Use this paint drawing I made, and this should all fit in the area below the blower on the LSJ. I would suggest using a 4-1 setup that flows into pipe for the bottom like a turbo manifold. (Oops I forgot to add the bypass tube, but you can get the jist of what I am aiming for here)

 

E found a Garrett core that will fit core itself is 178/each, and according to garrets site it can support 700hp. slowswap drew up a few simunlar designs. Just have to pitch it to Vulcan again, but I know fir a fact they want to finish with cavy asap.

 

Definitely finish up the customers car first. That should obviously be a priority. Then when it comes time for our hotness, something badass like what I drew up real quick is going to be needed.

 

Stealing my drawings??? lol

 

Anyone else notice they did away with the bottom supporting bolt that the OEM manifold has on the underside of it? I'm thinking that could be an issue?

 

They haven't made an LSJ manifold yet.

 

No, I didn't see your drawings. But if they are the same I guess great minds think alike!

 

manifold pictured is for a cavalier, and it will be supported...car is going to be put thru some diffrent scenrios aswell inc. purposely blowing a coupler, leaving one loose and unclamp'd

 

it sucks when that happens^^^

 

any updates?

 

Bump.

 

for what. it failed

 

I want to see the fail!

 

The idea is there, based off of drawing I made. If only someone would just do it.

 

custom it will prolly b nothin in the market that fits

 

I gave a pic of the failed mani...have to dig for it though...

 

How many times has this been tried?

 

oops can I get my manifold back then? LOL right

 

I still think a good manifold is needed so we can dump these laminovas and go BIG with an air to water setup. Hopefully one is in the works by someone else?

The one referenced in this thread still looks to restrictive and wouldn't suplly very even flow to all 4 cylinders. We need to keep that in mind as well. Runner length and flow.

 

didn't shortstack or someone make their own? or SS something?

 

short stack is turbo'd

 

if you are staying supercharged just go tvs e85 ported head etc etc u'll find that the stock intake manifold is good for quite a decent amount of powa

 

The intake manifold can indeed flow a good amount of air, it's really about better cooling of the air that most people are concerned about.
