dejon intake manifold?
hey, I have been thinking about my dsm lately  and was looking around on prices of parts, I have posted alot but it was half a year ago, and upon going back to school this fall of 08, i was looking into putting a few more things into my car, what reviews or opinions does anyone have about the dejon powerhouse website, and/or their parts. I have their uppipe and intake to turbo, and the shipping was fast, and the parts are solid. Would any of you get the intake mainfold, or fuel rail off them?---like i said, just want opinions
-Thanks

Re: dejon intake manifold?

Re: dejon intake manifold?
It says their intake manifold is discontinued. JMF is probably the best bang for the buck on the market right now, mine will be a little better performance for the same money, but won't be out until spring probably.

I also believe that Dejon's old Intake Mani's were made of steel, not aluminum. And I also remember some of their products using some pretty thin flanges.

Re: dejon intake manifold?
Yeah, I have dealt with several of their 1/4" warped flanges.

Re: dejon intake manifold?
Having dejon all over the engine would scream cheap crap. maybe on a dsm that would be the ultimate truth. lol sorry i couldnt resist.
ps. nice job on the exhaust heat wrap, looks like a mummy. how many rolls did you use? 15? LOL jk

Re: dejon intake manifold?
Stay away from getting a rail. Stock fuel rails flow plenty. As others stated, stay away from their manifolds. I have one of the earlier versions of the JMF manifold, and love it. I really would love to get their drag manifold as that looks tits.
Jet, how could you prove your manifold makes more power then a JMF or Magnus? Swap manifolds only on a single car, and make pulls for each?

Re: dejon intake manifold?
Yes, that would be the only way to 100% prove it. It may be done next year too. Mine has a radiused TB inlet and tapered runners compared to the JMF one, so it should make more power. Most of the rest of it is the same. They use a mock raised runner for their base plate, I use smooth radiused entry, probably about the same performance for that part.
