Well my buddy Jason Koehler talked me into buying this new intake manifold(just kidding, i wanted one for years )

and he made a trip down this weekend for a few days and brought me this great new piece to add to my car: the AIR C/F intake manifold

at first glance you will notice the quality that was put into this product, almost instantly you will notice the HUGE weight differences between that and ANY other cast intake manifold, day and night.

This manifold belonged to Andrea from Evans tuning, big thanks to them not selling it before i got a chance to get it, and for taking good care of thier car parts.

installation was a breeze, even with not having an IACV actually plumbed into the manifold, the car idles killer even with 1600cc injectors!

well onto some pics

My big racing secret....Shhhhhh


Some shots of the manifold







and an after shot: yes my engine bay is dirty!



We dyno'd it a day later not at my MD dyno but at a dynojet and she laid down about 60 MORE HP than with my JG at the same boost level, just a slight nit of AF changes. Also my IAT temps from before were in the 110-115 range after a WOT pull and now they were about 82-86 degrees~!


also power is at the 600hp mark at right about 26psi, jason felt it was a tad bit lower than we expected so i am going to overlook the setup to make sure i dont have any goof ups

thanks once again to Jason Koehler(www.jkobd.com AKA: blown90hatch) and Jeff and Andrea from Evans Tuning

 

Wow. Looks great Mike. Moving on up! Need to get down here some time or maybe when your little brother is back up I will make a trip up there

 

haha, yeah john, i told you, you are welcome in my home anytime brutha'


i really love this manifold, been wanting one for years but got a good deal i couldnt pass up!

has a neat suction sound almost like it was an NA car went you pop the thottle too


yeah i do need to come back home, maybe i will take some vacation, i mean more than just 2 or 3 days

 

Let me know if you do. And you know were going to need video of the beast in action here soon

 

looks good, you trying to sell your victor x? is the zex module ignition or nos? good thing you have that torque dampner and motor mounts cuz id be worried that thing would kick back and crack that beautiful manifold

 

got any pics of how you mounted the iac valve

 

what was the temp/humidity all that bs when you dynoed with the JG and when you dynoed the AIR?

 

your first dyno was on a mustang dyno? and your 2nd run was on a dynojet? But don't dynojets read higher?

 

damn mike, rocking out now huh?

I could use a heine now

 

Nice! Those things are awesome

 

Its sad that they dont make these anymore, why dont they?

 

probably b/c no one was willing to pay the 1500 price tag for them.

 

awesome pick up man! thats a damn good drop in IAT's..

congrats..btw. nice car!

 

Do you spray on top of that setup?

probably because the company that made them have bigger government contracts to worry about

 

im gonna go with a combination of both.

 

love these things sooooooooooo much..... good find

 

I asked Larry from Endyne why AIR doesn´t produce them anymore and it is true that AIR has gouvernment contracts since a while. Unfortunatly for us :-(

 

thats badass.

 

That's a nice manifold , Good job.

 

as far as the dynos go, we wanted to see if there were any differences between our MD and one of the popular local Dynojets, as we are always hearing about the rivalry of dynos in our town.

the difference was 9hp, mine actually read MORE, we are using the new POWER DYNE software from MD which will give corrected/uncorrected hp, ratings so i wanted to see what the difference was myself.

we did NOT get a chance to spray the car, as we were just plain out of time on a sunday afternoon, but i do want to, really i do!

AIR has been busy as hell since we are in this long *** war and has way to many higher paying govt stuff to do, they said they were gonna try to do some more automotive stuff soon tho.

as far as the IACV, i literally just have it plugged in, no lines hooked up, and i just manipulated it thru the hondata. and it idles like a champp even with 1600cc injectors!


thanks for all the comments guys, much appreciated
