Some people like superchargers.

 

it's rebels design, and i'm pretty sure they did some measurements.

QFTMFT.

 

Could it possibly be because some of us don't have money to waste and/or aren't wanting to trade and finace another car? Maybe, just maybe....

 

x2, I'd lose atleast 5k+ selling my '07 for an '09 right now. It'd probably end up being around 7 or 8k difference atleast actually...

 

i just like the supercharger...

 

10-4 on no money to waste i am in the same position, so t why f**k with a totally new inlet manifold when the exhaust port is the cork? Spend money for little or no gain? hmmm.

ok show me the data that the inlet manifold holds it back. I have data that says the exhaust port is the cork, that heat is the long term issue with hp backing off, and that 300 + hp is possible with mods WITHOUT with making a new inlet manifold which is a gigantic mission like flying to the moon....

 

yeah, if you want more flow through the intake manifold, just port and polish it. Several people on this board are allready doing that.

 

Why do people f**k with RB-series, 2JZ-GTE, DSM's, B-Series Honda's, etc, etc???? Because clearly most of those engines have been eclipsed by the new offerings. Gosh....why dont people just go get new cars with the new engines....because CLEARLY modding the "old" hardware will just get you NOWHERE

^^Yeah...that was sarcasm..

Because the air distribution in the intake manifold is very bad. A cleaner design would make a big difference. This has all been covered in great detail by a few members and a few vendors in the past.

The exhaust port is part of the problem with overall power output.....and anyone that has downloaded the build books "has the data"

 

I think a gnoramus mission would be to try to remove your head from URANUS! lol

I'm totally joking and you know that.

You make a good point. But I don't think anyone has come out and said that they think the Intake manifold is the most restrictive part of the entire "breathing system" in the LSJ. We know the exhaust ports are the most restrictive part. But we also know that the IM could use some improvement.

Baby steps man.

You have been cranky lately. You sound like I did on RLFs like 2 months ago. Maybe its time for a little break from the forums. It helped me….

 

Used a 3.1, 2.9 and 2.8 on the practical tests. On the lab tests, I varied the flow and pressure.
Alignment of cores... um... properly. There is only one way to put them in.
Ported SC (in and out), Rebel 3" intake, modified pacesetter header, custom DP, magnaflow CB.

It drops.... trust me. All of my tests said it dropped. Basic flow and thermo dynamics says it drops.

 

Very interesting.

What about your IAT2 Temps?

 

Dropped... as expected.
More IAT drops with a 3.1, then with the 2.9 and 2.8, of course... as the air no longer has as much cooling time near the laminovas. However, less pre-core pressure results in less initial heating.

 

IM me and I'll call you. I'de love to help.

 

it appears to be the same size as the stock unit

 

Bull ******* ****!!! The 1450 hp ecotec motor uses an LSJ head. Thats enough to consider it still alive!

 

dead motor my ass

 

Never mind comments like that.
No longer production doesn't mean dead.

That's like saying the 4G63 is dead....

 

How is that manifold even doing anything at all? There is no way for the air to flow through the aftercooler, it looks like it simply just passes by it

 

Which manifold?
The orange one, or rebels?

 

The orange one, I could be wrong but how is that even working?

 

I still think the turn around is a bit steep, though.

 

Ahhh I see, I didnt know he has it custom split in there

 

Yeah, the smallblock chevy is dead, too!

 

^^^Can't forget the 2JZ... It's dead as a door knob.

 

cant forget about those ls1's they are a dead motor to
