Rep Power: 313

I don't see anything mentioned about it here.....For those of you who bought it - what was the final score?

Supposedly SFpower is making an intake manifold as well (according to a prior post by Catalyst). But there has been no more mention of that either......

Last thing I remember is that everyone that bought it was dissapointed with the results. Apperently they had to adjust the timing or somenthing like that.

I too would like to hear about it.

last i heard is that the manifold wasnt a good bolt on part but with the addtion of a cam gear and fuel controller it made quite the performace boost.

^ thats what it was.

hmm- wouldn't you get that from just the CAM gear, by advancing the timing?
Did someone have a dyno?
I got the manifold, but didn't bother opening the box, as the reviews (till i stopped checking weren't that good)

I have the manifold and it made a difference with the adjustment of my VAFC...I didn't have a dyno tuning yet, but my friend made some adjustments and it helped out alot. If your thinking about getting "FI" you should benefit from it.

 
Rep Power: 313

Yah, that's my point. No one ever dynoed this after they got it. I'd hate to spend $500 on something only to have it be a large piece of crap.....That's why I think I'm waiting for SFPower to come out with one and see what the full deal is...

This is why i still have mine. It was up for sale for a while then when i thought about the VAFCII and the SF kit then i figured i might be better off keeping it.

i've had it bolted on for a while and was supposed to get a cam gear but since i am saving my cash for a trip to vegas next weekend i didn't have the heart to buy it yet. My plan is to try the cam gear out by itself. Then find out if vafc2 will work on the d17 with no problems. If the results are good, i'll buy it and get both dyno tuned. i'll get the gear on in a few weeks.

Hmm- i'll need almost a full day to mess w/ my car next (cam gear, intake manifold etc...) don't have time now..


BTW, does only AEM make CAMgears for our cars? My friend reccomened getting something else..

 
Rep Power: 375

the VAFCII is still in the R&D stages at APEXi, i called before i bought the item this time. Luckily i was able to sell my VAFCI so this time im waiting to hear from APEXi about this.

 
Rep Power: 375

dont know of any other manufacturers making a cam gear for the D17, i could be wrong tho.

 
Rep Power: 324

ya. aem is the only one that i know of also.

 
Rep Power: 316

frum the results I have seen at the track, the cam gear is
also a waste of money

 
Rep Power: 375

but with additional mods it might be worth it to get the KMS IM working properly

 
Rep Power: 0

doesnt venmon make one?

 
Rep Power: 0

that does ring a bell somehow....

what about a larger TB?

 
Rep Power: 0

i called KMS just recently and they've told me that they recomend it mostly for turbo..... so they say..... but after reading all of your post-ups im glad that my new fuel pumpm, injectors, and cam gear are going in next..... the manifold follows......thanks!

 
Rep Power: 375

you can buy mine if you would like. I bought it when i planned on turbo, now im going K20
