ah yeah see I had debated on the JMF since theres actually a lot of those around thanks to the local DSM guys. So thats very good to hear. Right now im just using the standard DSM one. But I was going to clean up some of it. The spare im working on thats already shaved would look good powdercoated but I wouldnt mind a bit more power and figured I might save myself the money of powdercoating if I decide to go with an aftermarket manifold.

from what i have read the eci multi manifolds off galants flow slightly better than the cyclone when they are std.. no idea with the butterflies removed though

He just does not get it, there are several categories of preformance car. And lots of people take parts from each. A little bit of show car with a bit of race car with a dash of audio.
We cant all be like him with all our mods being done for top speed. His car might be fast but it looks like crap. CordiaDOHC powder coat you manifold I know you want it to look good and go well.

just read all of those posts, you'll get a better understanding of it all.

yeah right now after reading some of it I might have a local place who im friends with do some good porting on the stock manifold and throw on a bigger throttle body. Seems like it might be much cheaper plus cleaner looking than a more race designed manifold. Though was shocked that the JMF drag manifold needed work to meet its expectations!

Is that because the JMF is for the VR4 engine bay?

knock em off to the boys of cordiafreaks for a few xtra pennys huh? I mean who does not want a drag intake manifold?? :)

I dont have a 4G6* DOHC to put it on. BUT IT I DID!

No offence, but you'll have the same problem as me.............it will foul everything.....believe me!

beautiful but I think im just going to end up having the stocker ported and powdercoated

i dont see how better fuel economy and greater reliability (if your not pushing the envelope to much) is double the trouble of a singlecam

the DOHC engines parts availability is much better here state side as well as how many aftermarket parts are here for it. So all in all its a much better for me to go. Plus anytime you can get more air into the motor is a good thing!

Hey you might laugh at this, but i put my intake manifold in the dishwasher, turned out mint. (mines the cyclone one, took it completely apart first)

First remove the throttle body then give the manifold a good old degrease, rinse it off, put it through the dishwasher, rinse when you pull it out (you will notice lots of black comes of when rinsing, say like if you polish it with autosol). The aluminium will look new, paint the logo and done :)

Must be something in the dishwasher powder that cleans aluminium really well? I have also done this with other bits hehe, so far no negative effects

hahaha are you serz? lol my mum will kill me if i did that..
lol you know i'll be trying it tho..

i've actually gone from the cyclone intake to a N/A galant intake..

Chuckles. That is original JohnT

lol I debated telling my Roomie about the dishwasher part sinze he has a 1JZ supra thats currently getting a built motor and big single turbo....

JohnT: I will be running an NA TB also. I can't compare the two because i haven't driven the car for like 3 yrs..
I was told the NA intake should flow more air even compared to the cyclone with the butterflies open. plus slightly bigger TB.
my mate is doing the work for me, i'll take his word for it..

Tim, from what I have heard, Jayrome is right on the money, although the standard Cyclone manifold is still good for 300 wheel kilowatts...
