alrite i'm in the need for a intake manifold for my turbo setup, what would you guys recommend for a boosted d16?

 

depends on what kinda numbers you want. aftermarket IM's are good but they are usually the least of your worries

if you havent gotten a camshaft or LSD yet, it would be worth putting the money towards that (considering you have a good turbo setup and rods/pistons)

also a d16y8 IMO is the best of the d series IM's, if you dont got one, you can get one pretty cheap

 

edelbrock or skunk2 are always a good choice. granted different IMs will react differently with different set ups, from what i've gathered shorter runners (such as the VictorX) have a greater flow for higher RPMs while ones with longer runners (such as the PerformerX or the skunk2) will have better airflow for mid range. if your working on a budget and debating between what to upgrade, on a turbo application unless you're using a large turbo or you know your IM cant handle the current airflow, an aftermarket IM should be towards the bottom of your list. there are plenty of hondas using stock IMs that are making 350+ hp. if you havent already id put the money into building the motor first (ARP, aftermarket rods+pistons), since an IM and your turbo wont do you any good if you blow the motor.

 

yeah got all my bottem end parts here, and head pnp, supertech valvetrain, bisi cam... piecing up turbo kit for now, with a good ecu! just wanted to know what would be better...eagle, edelbrock, skunk2!

 

evans-tuning did a comparison with an AIR intake manifold. looks pretty awesome at top end.

 

^which manifold?

 

i did a search and wasnt able to find the actual product. you can try contacting the mods at evanstuning to see where its sold

 

^alrite will do...!

 

come on guys anymore suggestions?

 

whats your power goal and what will car be used for

 

Golden eagle manifold if you're looking for top end. I have one I might get rid of.

 

Answers to this would be mighty helpful...

 

hoping to be pushing 350whp - 450whp, in my d-series! it'll be my dd but also be used for drag!

 

most people drive their DDs at low-mid rpm ranges which the skunk2/performerx might flow better for. however if you want to get the most out of drag, go with victorx/ealge

 

welp i guess im just gonna go with the performerx, cuz it'll be more of a dd car than strip car! thanks for ya's input, greatly appreciated!
