Stopped at walmart after work one night and was looking through mags and picked up the new "Turbo" mag..... they test the jg edlebrock intake mani and said they gained 41 whp.. anyone else see this? I didnt read about it, so i dont know what setup they hab...just wondering if anyone knows the whole story...and if it is true or not.

:edit: btw...this test was on an R

NO fing way. wonder how much JG paid them to do that test.

here is the article. http://www.turbomagazine.com/archive...2_tech01.shtml


cliff notes. ITR has cams and JG header and probably more mods. baselines 193 HP, after manifold nets 205 but looses 2 lb/ft of torque. They also did the mod to a turbo GSR and said this "At around 7450 rpm, we were amazed to see an increase of 41.5 hp and 29.3 lb-ft of torque.
"

haha thats what i was wondering....

 

It IS Turbo magazine...hell, maybe they installed a turbo while they were at it. hehe.

 

The only reason it made more NA peak power is that it held the torque curve longer. Is that due to flow?

that does seem too good to be true but what the heck Ima try one and tell yal how it goes first hand

 

That car was weak to begin with.
Id be willing to bet that the power curve looks like utter ***** and just has good
peak numbers. Stay tuned, I'll show you what a REAL power curve looks like.

 

Its a peak number manifold. JG says its only goof from 7K-10K.

 

If you look on beta.vtec.net, they have a video interview with edelbrock, which shows a pic of the dyno sheet before and after the mani. The graph doesn't show any loss compared to stock at any point in the powerband. Have a look at the video yourself...

 

how does the sk2 IM compair to the JG? which one would you rather use? thanks

 

turbo has become a ricer mag... look at their "reader's rides"...

 

the 41 whp was gained on a GSR boosting 20psi seems possible me to me. Anyway the ITR gained 11 hp or something with i/h/e and the manifold.

 

skunk2 manifold = ITR manifold for non b16a head.

We dont need one since we got ours when we bought our cars.

ITR manifold is the way to go right now.
