so one year after people started doin this mod i caught on :p installed it during my lunch at work, havent had a chance to test it out, all the open roads heading back to work were full of traffic...install was a breeze, the oil dip stick holder thing doesnt line up at the top where it was, rather the small hidden hole oon the bottom, tranfered the intake port seals, cleane dmy ports a tad bit, the manifold already had a TB gasket on it, which i kept on, i ended up not using the tb adapeter, my TB fit the manifold fine, so now i have a TB adapter for sale, if anyone needs one let me know...here's some pics of the mess i found on my head

Cool. Now the engine won't choke up top.

hey, i just installed mine the other day


whole new car..tho no power band til 3700ish RPMS which sucks but whatever

XM15

Thats why I got rid of mine. lol

But to each his own.

Preston

its helps alot...specially on spray (like me)

me and a buddy (who is on site.) who also has a 2.2 we raced. heres how it went

We raced with no nitrous..just motor
Me mods (intake, cat back exhaust, ported header)
Him mods (intake, ported header and downpipe)
we were dead even..neither pulled at all. We went 3 times..and nothing

Then we raced on juice with his 2.4 mani and cat back
Me (intake, cat back, ported header, and a 75 shot)
Him (intake, SS downpipe/ported header, cat back, 2.4 mani and 75 shot)

He pulled EVERYTIME..i even started ahead of him by a car..and he still pulled a car ahead of me by 80ish

It makes a difference up top alot i noticed..but you lose your low end powerband

Awesome work!

gotta build back the mid-range loss for this intake mani to really justify the purchase imo. what good is another usable 1000rpm and 15hp at the peak if you've lost 2000rpm of power band thereby making you slower where u really need the power(mid rpms)? lol

easy install, powerband past 3500ish dont bother me i launch at that RPM :p so it'll pick up fast after that, and i spend mroe time in the high end than the low...cant wait to test this thing out...damn traffic...

its fun on the highway. car pulls from 60 to 90 really nicely.

whenever the car gets ready to be tuned ima port n polish the intake ports a bit, just to smooth it out, hell i might just polish it nicely, just to get rid of the casted feel

Nice upgrade definatly one of the better mods for the l61. Now get a tune and take full advantage of it.

warrenb213

dman090

nice man nice can u feel power diference down low??? like 1-3000 rpms?

silver06cobalt

Read the first couple posts.. Low end is lost.. but high end makes up for it..

i did a launch, i stop in the middle of the highway, its a dead highway, nicely lit, 4 lanes, busy as hell during the day, empty past 10pm...no cops on it for a miles, no where for them to park at, so i stopped and i launched, lemme say this, first gear was done in no time literally i launched at 3k, hit redline like nothing, after that i was high flying from there, i noticed no low end b/c i was only in that part of the rpm's for maybe 1-2 seconds...maybe in light driving you can feel it, but i havent felt any loss, but this isnt about feeling it, i might go dyno it again, and i have a dyno from before the mani too, only mod si nce than was this mani, so i will know exactly what it did for MY car and MY mods

Get a lightweight underdrive pulley and it will help that low end lag some.

you selling the adapter plate? if so let me know. i'm ordering the maifold kit from work and having one of the techs install it. will it come with the screw and all?

i got cash so let me know jn2

MRZ pulley FTW, like i said, i dont feel a loss in the mif range, than again i dont rev fast 3k during normal driving anyway, and when i race, i stall at 3k than launch from there, so i end up past 4k in less than a second...and its high flying from there

yes i have 2 TB adapters for sale, the new one might be sold on saturday, a local wants to buy it, but the used one is just lying in my car...bad thing is its warped

Raiden8816

iTrader: (3)

well if it falls through let me know. i'll take the new one, hopefully i can get my hands on it. how much would you want out of curiosity

Jn2

iTrader: (1)

upon inspection of the other ones its not warped, just i had to break off a piece of it, its still very usable, i just wont sell it for alot, i say 15 should cover it, i dont need it, i can throw in a used gasket for it, gasket looks good...i can show you pics later...im at work right now

Raiden8816

okay, i wanna see pics. i just need the adapter plate and the bolt that comes with it. i am getting the mani, gaskets and brake hose from work for less than 140
