i found a nice group buy for 285 shipped , but want to see if anyone has it and like it 1st? anyone?

 

engrish please.

what is a mainfold?

 

mine will be installed soon, among other goodies

 

how much more english can i get?
It is an intake mainfold. it is on the rear side of your head and it reecives air from your air intake system. ... does that break it down to you?

 

I think he's referring to your spelling of "mainfold" instead of "manifold"
Then again, almost anything's possible.

 

what a smart *** , he knew what i meant . anyway , back to the post ? anyone ?

 

someone gotta hve one
to the top

 

why dont you get one then and let US know.

 

i didnt want to be the one to waste the money to find out it sucks
guess im gonna have too . i guess ill let you guys know how it goes if i get it .

 

Where is this group buy at?

on the forced induction forum .
295.00 shipped for the reg one
385.00 shipped for the polished one .
thats like $40 cheaper than summit , and summit usually has the lowest prices.
im not sure what i wanna do .
it has the extra holes in it for my direct port. . . well really for extra injectors , but i will use for the direct port. i dont know if i wanna drill in my stock manifold

 

If those prices are accurate, then thats damn good for the polished unit because retail is over 500 beans Sounds like a steal to me, too bad I already have mine

 

well hurry up and put it on so i know if its worth it .

 

I'm curious about this intake manifold and throttle body myself...

Turbo Magazine did a write up on it (if you didn't read it yet):

http://www.turbomagazine.com/archive...2_tech01.shtml

They have a 10 pixel by 10pixel "zoomed in" dynoplot of a NA engine and they picked up some gains. But here were some losses along the curve also. My question is it more likely something inherent in teh physical system or something attributable to the stock ECU they were running (not sure how or what htey were running in the first place to get 190+hp outta that sucker...) Would running a Hondata be like a magic bullet and even out/raise the curves?

If I EVER get my car back, Ill let you guys know

 

i think the turbo mag. tried the victor x manifold on a turbo GSR and it gained about 24 or 42 ponies (not quite sure though)

edit-sorry guys i am disleksic and i cant spell for sh*t

Friend of mine installed one onto this guy's hatchback (GSR motor). He said that nothibng lines up anymore. The Victor X manifold is shaped kinda like the STR sheet metal one, meaning that all vacuum nipples are in the back or on the bottom of the fat part. Probably not a big deal to run all new vacuum lines. All the vacuum nipples are the screw on ones, not like the factory Honda ones that are on there already. Also, he says that the new manifold places the throttle body nowhere near where the TB used to sit with the stock manifold. They had to use a short ram, and he said it makes the intake piping sit very close to the shock tower (the manifold moves the TB down towards the floor a little, and over to the passenger side more than stock).

 

I think it gained 25-40 Hp because of the Turbo.

I think the reson why it places up high is because it is modled after a type-r manifold and the second runners are not there anymore. So the throtle body sits higher than the stock GSR TB.

 

the horsepower gain on a turbo'd GSR is 41hp to the wheels! My friend just installed his victor x manifold on his all motor gsr.......he is getting it dyno'd today and i will let you know what the gain is on it, he's not dynoing because of the manifold either, everything is set at zero because the motor just got done......

If possible, can you post a graph? Something that compares before and after, along with a list of the setup...

I would like to see the real gains of The Victor X manifold on a all motor high compression engine.

 

ditto...

 

i dont believe any of the import magazines with dynos or 1/4 times

 

Same here
