Uber modified stock evo intake manifold vs DI SMIM

[scheides]

So Driven Innovations is the SMIM of choice for a lot of evo guys now. Well this guy that was deep into engine design for high-end race cars got involved, and started modifying stock manifolds to yield similar results. V2 of the manifold was just tested, and the results are astonishing.

Here is the dyno sheet (the solid line is the DI intake, the dotted is the Indy):

Freaking INSANE when you consider that the DI manifold was done with a 3" TB and the Indy mani was done with a ported stock TB (65mm, 2.5"). These numbers are 40+whp over what a stock intake manifold would produce.

It would be *really* interesting to see what one of these would do on a maxed out IX or Evo Green car...

Thats fucking sick. I wish DSMs had the same thing.

Update, the SMIM & 3" TB this is tested against are $900 and $600 respectively. So really this "Indy v2" manifold is $1550 + $300 for the 65mm ported tbody. $400 extra to run a stock appearing manifold that makes similar power, and you can run all of the factory sensors, mounting brackets, and even emissions equipment. Not bad.

Also, the SMIM runs were done with a slightly slipping clutch right around torque peak, so the numbers are off slightly. We'll see what happens when its re-run out to 9,000rpms.

nice one a modded stock intake mani but the price is just dumb
The V1 intake is going to be $1350, you must send in a core.
The V2 intake is going to be $1550, you must send in a core.
I could never spend that much on a oem modded intake.

Sounds like there is going to be a v3 too.

DAYUM i spent less on my Magnus SMIM. and that is usually not the case.

LOL 1300 bux+ for a modded stock intake? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Good results....but the price is not justified imho.

Considering its way cheaper and outperforms the HKS Kensei and Full Race Hypertune ($2000 each) which were the front-runners in power before, this is pretty spectacular bang/buck.

I guess they're gonna do a v0 'street' manifold for $575, we'll see what that does performance-wise.

There will be no v3 as of now, they're going to work on a mani for the evoX now instead.

Ha. Oh Evo owners....... v0 is probably a stock one they send back to you after you send them yours!

I'm gonna make a v(-1) and fill in the runners with JB Weld for only $450.

It's nice how that car on the dyno sheet revs so high all the way to almost 7500rpms showing how these intake manifolds really perform uptop; ugh.
