Just an idea, all these header shootouts going on and i was saying to myself " damn, i wish there was something like this going on for intake manis!"

Always alot of "which intake mani for my setup" threads going on i thought i would be great to see how they all stack up against eachother on the same motor. Maybe a stock type R motor, or a cammed one even. Seeing the dyno charts overlapped would give all of us out here a chance to see the diffrent power curves of the diffrent manis, where the make more peak or more torque.

I cant recal ever seing a controled dyno test of this ... I would love to see....

stock b16
stock itr
skunk2
skunk 2 pro series
aebs
blox

haha, maybe someone will flame me for this idea, but i bet theres a shitload of you out there that would love too see a shootout like this....

So, anyone out there intrested in taking up a shootout like this?????

 

Not a bad idea, it would be interesting. It would be much more work, and messier than a header shootout. You should also add the Victor X and the JG sheet metal into the mix

 

i have a stock b16 intake manifold you can have

 

definatly a gd idea, dont think a test for IH has been done.

Unfortunately that would leave us with GSR heads out in the cold on since the test would have to be with a B16 or R head.

whoa whoa lemme get that ****...i got these itb's layin around and no manifold to mate em to

i have an aebs IM for b16 that u could use for the shootout
(oh **** ur in jersey, i gotta retract that statement)

 

we thought about doing one , but honestly it wold be harder that doing a Cam test. the amount of time it would take to dissasemble and intake manifold, swap sensors over, rerun vacuum lines and hoses, and then bolt it back on would take prob 1-2 hours in between manifolds, if not more. Plus, WE ALREADY KNOW that certain manifolds will be much better on a particular motor. IE if you put a JG victor manifold on a b18c5 its gonna lose midrange but make power to 10000 rpms lol. its kinda hard to find a motor that will perform well on all manifolds, or at least so you can gauge an accurate test.

we did a test on a STOCK b16 with an AEBS manifold vs a STOCK b16. AEBS carried power 500 rpms more

 

Tbone already did a flow test on several manifolds, and that is the only kind of test that is useful for them IMO.

 

^^^^ waht iwas trying to say!

 

don't forget itb's

 

B19coupe, you made posted some nice comparison's before that i found here:

1. ITR manifold vs. Victor X manifold on 2.0L GSR with Toda Ds:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=753594

ITR mani is my choice, especially up to 9000 rpms.

2. ITR manifold vs. AEBS manifold with a stock block 1.8L with Skunk2 stage 2 cams:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=753585

AEBS would be my choice. The aebs benefited for a stronger overall tq curve.

 

if this really goes through..i wanna see HOOKUPS itr manifold compete.

 

Best way is to try it yourself on your own motor, but that takes dyno time.

Otherwise, you can choose to keep the motor within an rpm range, and try different manifolds with tuning adjustments and datalog your results at the track.

More realistic IMO and can save you money!!

 

hell yea i wanna see this...i wanna see how a extrude hone ITR manifold does as well!

x2

 

^^^ how does a flow test prove which manifold is best for a certain application? From what i understand all a flow test does is show how much steady air a component can flow, while an engine pulls in air in pulses.

Also, i cant see how a flow test can show where in the rpm range a manifold is making its hp and torque.

can anyone explain?

i'll give it up for the test.. but if you want to use it for your car to make itbs. i'll have to charge ya $20
