What is this crap?
Re: which intake manifold do you prefer for turbo? (Big Josh)
what if you could buy a thermoplastic intake manifold, which would be cheaper than an exotic carbon fiber but have similar thermal insulation properties (cooler intake charge)?
anyone interested? i am thinking something like a plastic skunk2 sized manifold or a plastic JG edelbrock...
probly cheaper / similar cost also.

It would actually be very expensive .... plastic is cheap, however the startup costs are significant, reason is the dies are very expensive, so unless you plan on making 5000 pieces, it should be quite pricey... This is just the manufacturing part, if you look at the good units, they have quite a bit of engineering, designing and testing put into them, this also costs alot of money.
what do the eagle ones go for btw?

The normal retail price for ours is around $595.00, sometimes less. Our manifold has been proven for years as the best H.P. per dollar over anything else in a turbo application. Our manifolds were not meant to be used on N/A stuff. We have seen over 500 H.P. simply by bolting this manifold onto a turbo car. Even the world's fastest FWD car of Lisa Kubo ( Saturn Motorsports ) tried every manifold design out there and ours won the spot on their car!

i agree on all points. just throwing it out there since i had the opportunity to pitch this idea to an entity capable of making them. and i declined to go forward with a prototype for these reasons.

How much boost could you make a plastic manifold hold? I know on some cars with production plastic manifolds this is an issue with high boost.

they can be lightweight too
i wonder how much pressure and heat they can take...what kind of material do you want to use?

yeah neat huh? i am not versed well enough in chemical engineering to discuss the materials i've researched, but yesterday i did put my ice skates on and skate on synthetic ice! Its called ultra high molecular weight polyethelyne! took some getting used to but i did actually skate on it and play some hockey.

Re: (TeStUdO)
I'm running the victorX, should do well enough for my setup. I was pretty damn impressed with the dyno results for the AIR carbon fiber one, that picked up 50 midrange HP over a victor X, but IMO its just not worth it when I can make more power than i'll ever need for a street honda with my current setup.

Wanna be a BALLA, SHOTCALLA, 20 inch blades on the Integra, Art gettin laid tonight, Swisher rolled tight got it laced with Ice
Seriously though I wish I had the money for that. Im taking more time with my setup than Art is and his crushes mine
