Interest in Intake Manifolds????

Alright, i know some of you have been waiting for this....

I will be prototyping the new intake manifold for our car within the next few weeks. I am wondering if there will be enough interest in this specific part to produce it.

It has not been made yet, so there are no specific details about it. But i will update this as soon as i get more information.


So, back to the original question....

How many people are interested?

The KMS manifold was a huge failure and quickly died.

Ok Cat - whip one up that works well with your turbo kit (and shows some gains after dyno) and I'm definitely down for it....

I would be in, but Im still not sure if I want to swap or turbo a d17. I would like to see the specs as they are made available. Is it going to be like the KMS? Or will it more rounded out like older versions of our cars?

It is safe for nitrous. It can be used on Turbo cars or NA cars.

Obviously there will be, otherwise there'd be no point in making one, remember, our intake manifolds are restrictive, plastic pieces of crap, it'll make a huge difference when your car breathes better.

I'll most likely buy when it becomes available, coud it bought along with the turbo kit? I ask because even though I will soon have the cash, I am taking out a small loan and saving the cash for any possible breaking of the system, I'd like to have to send you guys only one check for everything.

I'd be willing to bet with cai, good exhaust system, port and polish and a good intake manifold, you'll probably see around, if not more, a 50 hp gain.

SSUUURRREE

edit: they'll be lucky to see 20hp gain NA with a intake manifold cai p&p and exhaust. Don't forget the intake manifold isn't the only restrictive section of the civics factory setup
