Who makes a good intake manifold for going turbo? Engine would be a 1999 B18B.

There will be a port, polish, valvetrain work, and turbo cams on the head.

Skunk 2, JG?

 

Unless you plan to run a buttload of boost, you're better off spending money on other parts of the setup. Say a 3" exhaust system, for instance.

 

Inlinepro

but pricey.......

 

Planning to run anywhere from 10 - 12 PSI daily and up to 20 PSI at the track.

if you got the money then I say the Inlinepro but myself being on a budget im going to get the JG, just dont even consider the skunk2 thats for NA.

 

i personally like the venom IM....just look at it...damn thing HAS to flow..but you're looking at or around $500

why do you say this, out of curiosity?

 

Because a good NA intake manifold will make virtually no difference on a turbo motor. All of those large plenum short runner intake manifolds listed will show solid gains up top (especially at the boost levels you plan to run down the 1320), but beware they will also soften up the low end response of the motor as well as delay spool time a bit. For a pure street system IMO it's not the way to go, especially considering the entry price, but for a street/strip setup you might find it worth the price if you want to spin serious RPM.

 

Sounds like Inline Pro is recommended a lot or JG if your on a budget which I am. I am just looking for something that will give me good gains, flows better than the stock LS manifold, and take me another 6 months to save up for. Sounds like JG is gonna be the way to go.

 

how much is the inline pro intake manifold????

 

The inlinepro looks almost exactly like the old STR intake manifold, which is WAAY overpriced IMO. This topic has been beaten to death. Go with the JG, makes more power and a helluva lot cheaper. I think inline's manifold is around $800?

inline pro = golden eagle = str first intake manifold

do a search though - there was a thread about this 2 days ago...

 

I dont agree.
