FRS / BRZ Intake Manifold - Development Thread - FT-86SpeedFactory by Velox

So even with a good tune this pretty piece will only hurt performance for NA applications? Damn shame I wanted this so badly.

I've been waiting for ages for someone to post CFM on these heads. Frankly it's been pretty embarrassing for this community. Unless not posting them was to prevent further embarrassment.

With calibration.

Higher compression, higher rpm, aggressive cams, and wet shot of nitrous?

From the beginning we stated this was not designed for NA power. We continued to say this throughout the development of this manifold. We decided to test it anyway to see what it was capable of as so many people thought it would work. It performed better than we anticipated to be honest.

We are working on developing another idea for the NA crowd but are keeping it close to chest for awhile until we are ready to release that information.

For now, we are moving forward with FI testing on this manifold.

Sorry for the long delay, I have been very busy with other Velox projects.

my comment was supposed to be entirely sarcastic. Look forward to seeing the results as the FI application moves along.

[megamarines]

Good to know. I don't remember seeing anywhere that it wasn't designed for NA, but fair enough. Here's hoping the NA part will be insane. Good luck to you, man.

As dumb as it sounds, if the manifold could squeeze out 7-8 more hp I'd do it. More unique looking and actually does "something".

Feels like a good pipe dream if you couple it with a bigger throttle body.

Sorry if you felt we were disappointed in you or your product, that wasn't what I meant, at all. I have little doubt it'll do very well for it's intended application.

I look forward to your NA intake manifold. If it's as innovative as your FI manifold I have little doubt it'll be worth the wait.

No, not dumb at all. I fully agree with you.

And I quote from post one, "Fitment is darn close to OEM with some minor modifications to some brackets. There is a straight flow shot from the bell horns to the vale. The bell horns are adjustable giving the end user more options for tuning and making this a one stop manifold for Boosted and N/A applications".


What a crock, you carry on with your scam @NotEric6. No more limericks for you or your crock of hogwash.

Truthfully, we don't know much about how this will perform yet besides cylinder distribution when all valves are open (an unrealistic event but it helped us shape the plenums for how air naturally wants to enter). From previous knowledge it points to be a top end, FI geared, intake manifold.

I don't know what I did to you to make such a rude comment towards me but I have stated it multiple times. We haven't even sold one yet... we haven't scammed anyone. You can leave this thread now. Thanks.

[DocWalt]

Pretty sure he was joking since he was referencing the silly poems people were writing about the wait for dyno results...

Not sure why I was quoted, I wasn't even talking about the manifold. Freaking bizarre people won't post up stock numbers on these heads. Not like that would give away anyone's magic secret sauce.

Who has this magic secret sauce and does it come with a sticker?
