I got my car dynoed this morning so i have a before and after dyno for the Ford Racing Intake Manifold.

I just finished installing it. It sounds awsome and the power is so smooth. i will have pics up later and the dyno on saturday.
Tomorrow afternoon i get it dynoed again with the FR Manifold to see the difference.

here is the pics

Hehe guess you got the opportunity to do the install despite the snow.

Still snowing up there?

BTW, CTZX3, I'm sending the stuff today.

That is a very clean piece. I can't wait to see the numbers!

Cool.

I'm in the middle of putting the manifold on our race car right now. One thing I'm having more trouble than expected is connecting the vacuum hoses. The local fitting supply house doesn't have the right size fitting to connect the brake booster hose. What size fitting did you use?

Did you slot/redrill the holes? We are welding on an extension to the top of ours so top bolts are fully encircled.

Very nice!

Off topic, but what strut tower covers are those? I like how clean they look.

[Edit] A: FocusCentral. But, I could not find them on their website.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">i slotted the holes. i used brass fittings from Homedepot plumming dept. as you see in one of the pics i put a tube on the brake hose with a clamp and did the same on the fitting in the manifold.

 

[llama_in_a_focus]

off topic as well but, you deleted the egr valve right? did you have to get a chip after that? did you get any x-tra hp from it? any loss?

 

[Focaltech01]

How about some dyno info!

 

[CTZX3]

Ok here is the before and after dyno, overlayed

the red lines are from stock intake manifold

the blue/black are from with the fr manifold

not very good but this is with a stock head and stock cams not tuned in. But you make more TQ and HP over 5500rpms. it kinda feels like i added the crower stage 2 cams in.

in two weeks in adding Crower stage 3 cams

I would like to see you dyno with the same settings the FC intake manifold... I am wondering what kind of power it is going to make. Nader claims 15hp on a car with a head package to the wheels.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">chris where did you dyno?

 

[nazthug]

chriss
wtf?
What happened to the head, cams, all that stuff man....

whats up? Why you still in the minor leagues? or are you finally switching over to the FC headpackage??? Whats goin on, u havent been keepin me updated man...

BUT, seeing as how that is a very lightly modded engine, the top end increase is still huge...i cant even imagine with stage 3 cams and head where you will take it to 7500rpm....get goin man....

 

[Fisch]

What other mods are on this car? That's a big torque loss through the middle of the powerband...

Edit: I see intake, tb,intake mani, race header, cam gears. Chip? How un-tuned are the cam gears?

[UltegraSTI]

the stock stix were installed straight up. no tuning was done b4 or after.

short ram/maf/65mm TB/mani/stock head and cams/fc header/2pc pulley set/flex/thermal

i think thats it.

Still wondering what happened to the egr valve? Will the factory one mount on the intake? If i delete it does the check engine light come on? Any info on this would be much appreciated.

you can connect it, there is a place to bolt it right up.
