Intake manifold??

[steedspeed]

Hey guys, does anyone know if there is an intake manifold available or in the works for the 3 or 6?

I am thinking of doing one.

[cpolly69]

SilverDemon's Intake Manifold
Kriebs SPD Intake Manifold Project!
several folks have modded the stock one
i believe ptp and cpe both have one in the works - ptps may already be avialable
and there's this
FS: Ported Intake manifold
just call me the search button

[superskaterxes]

lol ^+1

[madvillain]

No, there is not one available.


Yes, this does need to change.

[steedspeed]

Sounds like its been taken care of.

I was going to make one with injector bungs for traditionally mounted injectors so you can add fuel without using the direct injection system.

[06Speed6]

Not really, I dont know that the PTP one is going to be available within the next year. The CP-e IM has apparently been in the rapid prototype stage for months with no progress.

Vivid is supposidly making a IM spacer with injector bungs, I dont know what the hold up on that is.

You might contact Phantom3, he has a very good design for a IM with a carbon fiber plenum. If the carbon fiber areas could be converted to aluminum it would be a ready made design.

[JumpingJackson]

+1 lots of "talk" of intake manifolds... no intake manifolds for sale though.. its been this way forever

[nighthawk358]

steedspeed please make a IM with an option to go from stock to a larger throttle body

[subparpunk03]

There are options for porting the stock IM.... The stock IM has a 25% flow imbalance between the lowest and highest flowing runner... so its pretty much crappy.

Leen, the guy they mentioned above (Phantom) with the carbon fiber IM designs, happens to be the fella I sent the latest prototype exhaust manifold to. You two should def get together and just knock this shit out.

[cageyvet]

i'd be down for a manifold that allowed P.I.

[ATE BALLER]

I'd be down.

[Fagwagon]

id be up.

[06Speed6]

Im not gonna be in the middle...

[Fagwagon]

You will be whereever i want you to be.

[cpolly69]

Didn't Race Roots make an im with port injection? I thought that was what they used on the car in the mystery track video??
And yeah when I bought the last thing I got from CPE, I got this little card that had a picture of really good looking im - When will that thing exist?

[madvillain]

I'd have a boner.

You mean the Unicorn that was parted out and sold? ROFL.

[06Speed6]

The RR car just had a a single injector mounted in a TB spacer plate.

[djuosnteisn]

do eet steed.

[lenny127]

a lil premature but i talked to Vic Edlebrock last week and he was working on a possible intake,....

I will have more details in 2 weeks

[ATE BALLER]

That...Would...Be...Sick!!!

[Smoker6]

Please do it...there has been talk of an IM for years and not one company has delivered yet.

[BoostedBlack6]

Things that make you go hmmm

[bombdotcom]

yes please go for it leen! its been wayyyy too long and too much talk with no results!

[superskaterxes]

i say that steedspeed and xtremeboost have a race to complete one haha


btw we have already figured out PI is worthless on this car. we just dont need it.

[cudaman]

found this. Have no history with them or their manifold:

MAPerformance Rev3 Intake Manifold (Mazdaspeed3) - Modern Automotive Performance

We always test our manifolds before and after porting to ensure we are focused in the right areas. As it turns out, this manifold yielded some of the most impressive gains out of any of the manifolds we have done. The flow results show an improvement of 103CFM flow capacity, and an overall imbalance improvement from over 25% variance down to only 5.8%! See the flow chart for the data.

I have the MAP ported IM and I tested it for them (dynos are up in their vendor section)

Its nothing short of amazing quality work....

They're trying to get a group buy going but interest seems to have petered out. A ported stock IM should flow plenty for most peoples power goals.

[steedspeed]

I talked to John at PTP and he told me about the flow results from ported stock intake. There really isn't anything to gain with a custom intake as far as I can tell.

[06Speed6]

Blah fail

[SilverDemon]

Yea, I think I will throw away everything I have done this far.....

[06Speed6]

Actually, just mail it to me. Ill take good care of it.

[SilverDemon]

LOL!!

[SpeedSixxx]

yea ...that is nonsense on johns part if he really said there is nothing to be gained...

maybe he don't want another company (steedspeed) being more competition for an IM..

if it's true.. CP-E and PTP...who else?

even a MAP ported IM can only use a stock TB ported out from 60mm to 63mm..

so I would think that a true custom IM that can fit a huge TB would show more then a noticable difference when tuned for over the stock IM ported...

Anything that fixes the flow imbalance in the stock IM is an enormous plus.... be it from a ported IM or an aftermarket one.

And while peak flow may not be much better in an aftermarket manifold whats it going to do when actually on the car? Peak flow numbers are only a small part of the equation...

Make it and test it.

I guess when you get finished we shall know for sure. It's a lot of work to design and build a prototype so you need to know there is a decent return for that effort.

[SilverDemon]

That was a little bit of sarcasm on my part!! LOL I fully understand the implications and possible little return of the project. If I could not do most of the work myself I would not consider this, and you are right, it is a huge task to do this.

[steedspeed]

I love that you are building your own stuff. It's good to see. That's how I got started by building every single piece of my projects right down to the Wastegates and fuel pressure regulators. I had no money then but skills and plenty of time.

[Fobio]

Leen: wasn't phantom working on a CF manifold and he's local to you...
