New intake good for an extra 50rwhp.

[millsi]

Had a new intake made recently and couldnt be happier. Picked up 50rwhp over the old (std) intake.







Big thanks to Al and Miles at AM Auto for the fab work!

 

[maynanator]

how much would it cost to have a duplicate of this made? and also could it be made to use the stock throttle body?

looks fab u lush, well done.

No idea really. But the trumpets themselves are about $300

i like that manifold

Been away for a while.

Now if the I/cooler had vertical tubes and a tank top and bottom there will be another 50rwhp!

huh?

Can't read Steve? vertical core ICs are generally the go where you can fit them....better flow path and x-sectional area. You need the runner length to make sure you get the cooling but if there's enough height, this style of IC is the better option..

Good to know, oddly enough have never heard that vertical cores cool better? Always assumed it was a packaging decision, ie great for front facing intake manifolds in a twin turbo configuration with a dual inlet lower and single outlet upper

To the OP: Very "noice"!! I love the trumpets! 50 WHP gain...Impressive!

Regarding the IC, just add water/meth injection...

Won't make it flow better Ryan

Not that it's doing a bad job.

I meant for the extra hp, not the flow... Justen Yep, I know what you mean...it is doing great job so far.

 

[JustenGT8]

The extra hp RMS refers to will come from the extra flow from the vertical core....the cooling won't be much different.

Still, WI is a good thing. I thought Millis had that already?

 

[millsi]

Yep already have WI. It's only for detonation control though (100% water).
Probably not as effective now i'm running e85

Thanks for clearing that up Justen... I understood what he meant about the vertical flow IC vs the horizontal flow IC. In fact, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...I had an earlier version of a turbo set up that had a Bell designed and built IC that was vertical flow, for the very reason being discussed here. Here is a pic:



So, I do understand...I guess I was just not clear enough in my short comment...I meant add the W/M injection, cool the air further by doing so, add more fuel, air, boost because of it and gain 50 HP...

Water cools chamber temps while meth cools intake temps...

 

[FoPar]

nice anytime there is a pickup ur happy. 50rwhp, more torque how could u complain

try again

Yea well mainly it helps keep detonation at bay ..
Not all engine's and combinations work the same..
So playing around with mixtures, amount used
to keep engine from detonation..
Especially engine's on pump fuel..
It shouldn't be used to add fuel when injectors are not up to power level..


GOOD to see some top fabrication !!
50 h.p gain would see much more with other mods...
