is this a blox intake manifold that has been polished? not sure

 

to much show going on there...

 

not a skunk2 thats for sure.

 

looks like a blox polished to hell

 

yeah look inside the runners...its smooth as hell

Ideally you don't want smooth runners in the intake manifold. It hurts fuel atomization which will actually decrease power.

Since the fuel is injected at the end of the runner, at the back of the valve.

lol, love it!


anyways, the manifold looks like one off of a b16 / type-r It's just polished.

But wouldn't it cause less turbulance in the air pre injector which would then = poor(er) atomization.

 

looks like the aebs manifold ..

 

so its not a good idea to have smooth runners?

 

also if it was a stock type-r manifold would the brake booster connector on the back of the of the manifold be facing the other way?

no, the gas evaporates when it hits the cylinder head because of the heat...

 

It's one of those ones that suck in air to the engine

 

its a JDM ITR; it has the bolt hole for the fuel rail unlike the aftermarket type of manifolds.

 

are you sure?

but this is how a blox looks like

 

Old school typhoon. I dont know really. Just felt like trying another one into the the mix.

 

I'd need a picture of the back to tell; its either a skunk2/blox/itr.

Maybe not the new Skunk2 Pro Series BUT it can be the old school Skunk2 which was just a copy of the ITR manifold anyways

Cylinder head not intake manifold maybe?

It's actually the entire intake runner AND the cylinder head. I've heard from a couple head builders that the roughness of the surface will create a "buffer" zone of air that the intake charge will flow on. It's basiclly like an invisible lubricant for the intake charge. I guess velocity, and overall flow is a little higher with the rough surface VS a polished one. However, I'm not too sure how much of an effect it would have on a boosted motor.
