Right now I have a SKUNK2 PRO SERIES and decided to use it since I had it for my NA setup and wanted to save $$. But I wanted to know what is the best and makes the most power for a boost application. I heard a lot of good things about the first JG EDELBROCK manifold that looks like a MISSLE but can't seem to find it. I also heard about AEBS. So what other manifold's are awesome to use?? BTW this is on a GSR head with Type R cams, 5-angle valve job with some mild porting. Thanks.

 

ge is a good one... but it's hard to say which is the best... are you looking for a "cast" style, "sheet metal" style, or a composite intake? do you want a mani built for pwr gains in the low, mid-low, mid, mid-high, or high rpm range> how much boost? many different factors play come into effect as to which im will best suit your needs

 

victor x ftw

Check out the new magnus motorsport's intake manifolds. Really nice product.

 

I agree with cvcrtonv I have witnessed good gains with the magnus intake. check them out at http://www.magnusmotorsports.com

 

i really like my golden eagle.....

 

CFT had a golden eagle manifold on one of there cars and picked up good gains with a magnus intake.

GE is def. proven good ****, same for the jg. It depends on what you want and how much you want to spend. I did a "fairly" cheap street car and we were on a budget. We found the revhard intake manifold. The thing is DAMN near the jg mani, for half the price, and the best part of it is it comes with pre-drilled holes for all b series heads. So if you [freak] your head up and need to go b-16 or decide to go ls, you can keep the mani
btw car made little over 400hp on 15psi t3 60-1, mani seemed to help out on mid-top end on the dyno

wow never heard of these guys before?? I'll check out their site since they claimed to have made more power over the JG.

 

Intake manifold selection depends really on your set up, your rpm range and turbo etc etc. The Skunk2 will be great for a set up say to 9k rpm , the Victor X was designed for 7k-10k actually so if it is a street car and not revving out you may have less useable powerband. Good luck

 

My setup consist of a topmount turbo kit with a SC61. And a mild built head as I stated above. Full GSR motor with the block having rods/pistons. I mean I know I'm fine with the SKUNK2 PRO SERIES but just wanted to see what everbody else would reccomend. Thanks guys. Keep em comming.

What do you plan on revving to? What cams do you have? What are your HP goals? The Edelbrock Victor X is a GREAT MANIFOLD if you plan to rev it out , some say it works on street cars but the ones i have seen that don't rev them out have done better with a Skunk2 or AEBS type manifold really . It's all about combination, again if you plan to rev to 8k or so I don't feel the Victor X would be your best choice

.. want more power turn up the boost

True but the intake manifold can be a restriction as well but again depends on set up set up set up , just cuz your brother's sister's cousin's friend's dad made good power with X Intake Manifold you may be better off with Z Manifold

 

..yup, thats true. **Best intake manifold for Turbo: Wilson!

I stated above earlier that I will be running Type R cams with ROCKET valvetrain, 5-angle valve job, mild port, Hondata intake manifold gasket, 750cc inj.. I honestly don't know what I plan on revving to, I'll leave that up to my tuner which is the licensed HONDATA tuner here in hawaii. Management will be S300. I'm hoping to atleast break 400+. I've seen similar setups here which is almost identical and they made a lot of power. I'm just hoping for the same.

..just go with a JG and call it a day

 

That skunk2 mani is for the most part like an ITR mani. In that case, it will fall off hard and fast around 8200 - 8500rpm. If you plan to rev a bunch after get the JG or GE or one of the bigger plenum ones.

 

anybody in here got a GSR TURBO with Type R cams?? How high are you guys revving too??

 

i have a full race manifold that i will be selling. if your interested.

 

just keep the skunk 2 and spen your money elsewhere. but the edelbrock PERFORMER X will give you the best powerband. t

I remember I started a thread about this maybe a year ago, got a lot of good info. I sort of ended up grouping the manifolds into several categories..aebs/S2/type r/etc, bbk/revhard/victor x, full race/AIR, GE/Venom, I don't even remember. Obviously the full race/AIR manifolds are the best..but most people seem to chose the victor x and its clones for the higher powered (like 600+whp) yet still not outrageously expensive setups. I think you made a good choice with the S2 myself.

Thanks bro. I'm just trying to gain as much knowledge as I can so that way if I ever decide to switch it up I'll always look back at this as refference. But since I already have the S2 mani from my previous NA setup I might as well just use it and save money until I decide I want to change up the powerband after I see the dyno results.

 

You have still yet to state what block you are running......with that we can at least make an educated guess as to what your rev limiter will be set to (you stated earlier you would leave it up to the tuner). If its a block with a good rod length to stroke ratio (itr, gsr, b16) then I would say go with the victor x since you can rev to 9k fairly safely. If its an ls/b20 then you might wanna stick to the s2 mani. It also depends on your price range. I have a gsr and decided that the vx was my best bang for the buck option. It has worked very well for me. I made 325whp @ 11psi (9.5:1 cr, crower valvtrain, hy35, neukin ramhorn, 3" exhuast, crane stg II n/a intake cam and gsr exhuast cam). GL.
