Default H22 TURBO GOLDEN EAGLE INTAKE MANIFOLD WORTH IT????????

I have a built 97 prelude base model with a f-max turbo kit with all the supporting mods. I was just wondering if the golden eagle intake manifold is worth the money... im not looking to make outrageous power but wanting something that was gonna add a little more to the car... im making about 250-260whp right now (conservative tune) trying to make high 280-300whp, do you think that this IM will help out or is worth the money and time to put it in???? thanks

my experience with neptune was great. i was more then happy with the results and i love the built-in 2 step. you should make a trip to houston and you'll be satisfied with the tune and im sure jason could meet your 300hp goal. just let me know and i will let jason know.

aside from anything else....i'd go with that manifold on an h22 just to make the car easier to work on. that big factory contraption is annoying! i had a GE manifold when i had an h22 in my hatchback.

you cant just install the GE intake manifold and expect hp gains without a retune anyways. so its really your choice.

I think the tune will help the car out a little more. I dont have as much control with the mf2. It only controls fuel and no timing..... its either one or the other.... so I think ill make the trip next month to get the car where i want it at. thanks for your input and advice.... soon to be st00pified!!!!!!!

if i were to drop 1200 on a intake manifold (or anything near that) i would spend it on full-race, not carbon crap

*unless dynos #s prove otherwise

Anyway, the carbon fiber manifold wouldn't taste any better.
I use a GE on an H22 in a hatch. Very streetable, good broad range power, looks great and in my application was needed for firewall clearance. Heard that best power production requires cam timing adjustment. -looking into it.
GT30, Hondata S300, stock cams. -Over 300 hp @ 10 psi.-

Let's see, we dyno'd an LS1 with heads/cam that did 410rwhp on our dyno (stock phenolic intake). Slapped on a BBK cast aluminum intake manifold, retuned to same a/f and lost 20rwhp across the board. Gotta love heat retention.
