IM sent, I need it for itb's and the stock fuel injector spot might not even be used.

why not steel? Same **** as aluminum. It's just that aluminum does not rust, and it makes that black abrasive protection (look inside an aluminum IM, and you'll find it black, which is not oil or dirt).
anyway, you can have the IM coated/painted...
90blackcrx: so, did you make it out of steel than?

No not yet, aluminum dissipates heat better. But what about all those sheet metal intake manifolds ? Aren't those made of sheet metal ?
If I did use steel, I would defiantly get it coated so it would get rid of heat better.

magical coating? huh
-better heat dissapation
-lighter
-no rusting problems...
to me thats enough reason not to use steel...

Some people just don't know **** from chocolate. It's funnier just letting them eat **** than telling them the truth.

Re: (backpurge)
Well, theres air moving at such velocity through the IM, that it doesnt have much time to have heat transfered though the intake manifold to really matter. Having it coated its like placebo, you think it works because you paid for it, but in real life it wont make a difference, except rust protection.
My intake manifold is made of a flatbar and some steel piping, then again its 11" long and takes from next to the firewall.
If we start to talk about dissipating heat, heat transfers from hot to cold, so if your intake charge is colder than the engine bay temp, then theoretically heat would transfer to the intake charge. Like I said before, it moves too fast to have heat transferred with effect.

Re: (Kookz)
Back in the day car companies made manifolds out of iron even when aluminum was about the same price. It wasn't until weight savings became as issue that manifolds (and eventually cylinder blocks) made of aluminum really became popular.

yea... i guess ill just take ur word for it then... it just doesnt matter... thanks for informing me... considering air is traveling SO fast it really wont make a differance.. lol

so i guess since they used to make them out of steel then it doesnt really matter either... now does it?
ya know... pro drag used to use omni-man suspension... i guess it has to be good then... huh?

i understand what u are saying, but i doubt the engine bay temp will be higher then the intake manifold itself, which is not only beaing heat soked by being bolted to the the head etc..but by the engine bay temp itself.. they are talking about dissipating the intake mani heat, not the intake charge directly..also are u saying cooler air cant rise in temp by passing along a heated surface??? when your radiator fan comes on and air (at high velocity) is blown through or pulled through does it seem cool or warm?
