Reese Tuning Intake Manifold Rev3

[Reese Tuning]

Well guys, the time has come. We have just finished the last revision for our intake manis. These intake mani's are cut open and reworked.

Â* Â*On to the facts of this intake mani. We did do a comapare vs. the Wilson V.2. This intake mani flows with in 2% on each runner.

Â* Â*As an OVERALL this intake mani out flowed the Wilson V.2 by 11%. The intake mani has over 12hrs of work on them and they are a true piece.

Â* Â*All testing was done same day on a SuperFlow Flo bench. All the testing was done next door to my shop @ a machine shop called Total Performance. I am very happy to be presenting this intake mani to the public for a fair price. I will keep the actual testing up to date as it occurs.

Â* Â*First we will be testing this intake mani on a stock EVO 9 turbo and slowly working towards the HTA.82 (My RS). I will have graphs tomorrow as what power output we see. All tests willl be done on pump 91 oct with an avg. of 25 psi.

Â* Â*Below I have posted pics of the mani. The welds being exposed will be addressed upon order and purchase. The customer who purchased this mani does not care the appearance of the mani. We will also be offering it coated to a color of your choice. At this point I am expecting to see a low end loss of power due to the size of the plenum. The down side of the larger plenum is it will decrease spool up by 2-300 rpms. I will guarantee gains above 4500 revs on an avg. of 20 whp on a stock frame turbo ( grn,red what have you). Tomorrow this will be determined or presented as we will do all the testing to see what gains we actually see so this isn't a specualation as it is now.

Â* In regards to the pricing,

These units only have (2) options. Standard which will retail @ $1195.00 with no coating. That will be standard. Which is depicted below.
Â* Option 2 will be with coating and is an additional $150.00. Both versions standard or coated offer the same quality port craftsmanship.

All units are flow bench tested before and after work to ensure the same quality job is done routinely. They will also include the FLO sheet for each unit and will correspond to the Unit ID number on your intake mani. If time permits in the next couple days I will post pics of the process of the mani. It is quite amazing what is done to them inorder to make a quality piece like this.

Â* I truly feel that once the public understands the usage and reasons of the OEM intake mani, sheet aluminum intakes will vanish. Mitsu engineers knew what they were doing with these intakes. The design of the runners is what enables these stock frame turbines to spool so fast. In addition to the deisgn and layout of the intake a good port and increased plenum size will truly outperform nearly all sheet aluminum intakes. Not only will you see good low end, the top end rpm band will increase significantly due to the size of this plenum. Thats where this intake mani is a step ahead all other ported or reworked OEM intakes.

Looks sweetÂ* :smitten:

I like how the splitters have a generous radius vs. a sharp splitter like some other mani's....

I cant wait to see the resultsÂ* O0

Looks good James, good luck!!!

[BenJ]

Looks awesome James! I can't wait to pick up the car!

[EvoJoe]

Manifold looks great. I'm also looking forward to the results.

[EVO ix 33rd]

I want one .....

UPDATE:

We did do some testing today. All day infact. Few minor boost leak issues at first. Then a minute clamp situation we had to address. Well on to the facts. At this time I have determined that this manifold will not suite a STOCK EVO 9 Turbo on low boost. The actual plenum is too large for such a small frame turbine. We had no low end power loss but saw very minimal gains @ 25psi. Tomorrow I will be testing this car on E85 with high boost 29+psi. This is where the larger plenum will aid in adding significant gains through the powerband. My theory which I have been researching is with such a small volume of charged air (STOCK 9) the large plenum does nothing more than slow the velocity down of the boost.

At this time the intake mai has a place in my car due to the fact that once I started tuning it I had to add up to 10% of fuel. The car was very lean due to the larger intake mani. Which means there was minimal gains but wasnt ideal due to the fact the car is on a stock turbo.

Overall I would say this mani will truly shine with high boost on a upgraded turbo or turbo kit. The plenum is just simply to large for a stock evo 9 turbo on pump 91.

Thanks for reading,

Have to appreciate the honesty.Â* Some would just sell it and say it works well with a stock turbo.

Big O0 O0 to James for being candid about what it will and won't do!

[Reese Tuning]

We will be doing some more testing this morning if the dyno is open. The actual car yesterday saw minimal gains on 25psi expecting good gains with high boost or a larger turbo.

[Charlie@MFQ]

looks good. Do you have data of each runners flow chart ? the goal is to make each runner flow closely to each other as possible.

[WOT]

Get that thing bolted to the red car!

Keep us posted.

[Positron]

+1 on results for e85 evo9

[Reese Tuning]

The testing continues. We have just completed the first two orders. I know this bad boy will shine on my setup..

Â* Here is a mani that we just finished. It is for sale. We have three on hand ready for sale. One black and two silver (OEM color)

Â* The manis are coming out great. All manis come with Flow chart from before and after as well as a Reese Tuning badge that has been water jeted.

Looking sexy

[xxblazexx]

so this wont work with small turbos right?? just big ass turbos?

[sneakypete]

Not at all. I'm on a stock turbo and this manifold works pretty good.

I'm very pleased with it.

[bigcevo]

i just picked onee up on sat. looks sweet black cant wait ta get it on my car! bump

[Reese Tuning]

Just completed another 3 units. TTT.

James

[scumbee]
