Keep in mind now, the engine will be ingesting measurably warmer air.

It does when we have flow numbers for these ITBs, and the heads.

The (aged) NA motor being used for testing failed while exploring high RPM gains. A new OEM engine is being sourced to continue testing.

What RPMs are we talking about here? The usual 7,800 or did you guys push it past 8,000?

I'm actually quite impressed with the delta between the factory runners. Quite a well made unit, as one would assume something N/A at over 100hp/L would need to be.

Well, I have used the new intake manifold (2017) for this exercise. The guy that did it for me said that it actually flows really well, and has seen these numbers on bigger engine Porsches...so, looks like the intake manifold is pretty well built.

And now the 17' intake manifold will cost more

what did the honing end up costing you?

ive always tossed up the idea of doing that to the 2017 and sandblasting the outside and having it thermal coated to prevent heat soak.

They are pretty much the same as the previous plastic one. Mine will cost more for sure.

About 450 AUD and had it ceramic coated as well afterwards. Haven't had a chance to hit the dyno, but compared to my previous set up there is a quantifiable improvement for sure. I should get it done pretty soon!

Bump, any updates?

Have you had a chance to dyno your car with the manifold?

Mate, been very busy and completely forgotten about it. Will see if I can book it in sometimes next week!
