Buschnuts calls out Magnus

[Halon]

They have back to back tests on DSM's. The IM shootout from years ago.

Oh, ok. I guess I never saw that.

That link should work hopefully.

Thanks Brandon

Doesn't suprise me at all.

Back in the 80s/90s, no one put any thought in to forced induction intake manifold designs. Yeah, they maybe made ports slightly larger, change plenums a little over an N/A design, but no real thought went into top end performance.

Now, some companies are doing a shitload of testing different manifolds on honda's trying to beat out the OEM Designs. I'm not sure on the S2k engines, but I know they were having trouble making gains with a K-Series engine intake mani over stock.

I also don't really agree with some of what the "how to build SMIM" sections of books say, but I will never ever be building an intake manifold, so that is a non-point for me.

Sheetmetal intakes make decent power on 1Gs, if you have cams and a turbo that is worth reving past 7000RPMs. People have made good power on the stock 1G intake manifold though, but they won't carry the power out past 6500. From what I have seen, the 2G manifold blows. You put a 1G TB on a sheetmetal intake with a 2G head and you have a setup that can make some power.

The Evo seems to be a bit different though, they really don't drop much power up top reving out to 8000. Even on stock turbo Evos that might lose 3-6psi of boost from max torque to revlimiter, often have a fairly flat or small drop in power up top. From what I have seen with aftermarket intake manifolds on Evos, the gains are hard to come by. With a 1G or 2G DSM you can just at a dynochart and know if a car had a stock intake manifold on it or not.

It's funny how many people jump on the bandwagon when a vendor bashes another and says his product is crap. Hmmmm.

Buschur is bashing a product that made him a profit.

[Goat Blower]

Yeah, but he's obviously got something else to sell now, and this promotes whatever he's got currently.

Nutswinger. :rollinglaugh:

It's still not unproven that they work on DSM's.

Doesn't Kevin have a Magnus SMIM on his car? We need to see some dyno results from that bad boy, since he's on stock cams. That will answer a few questions in my head.

Exactly what I want to see, not some drag only car. It isn't the HP and TQ problems that are worrying me either. The part about Buschur mentioning how many manifolds are blowing up is the main concern for me. I am not about to drop 550 or so on an intake to have it blow up on me. It isn't necessary for me to be running one at this point anyway. So as far as I am concerned I can sit back and wait and see what comes of all of this.
