as expected, disappointing.

Should change their name from Kinetix to Pathetix..haha.

These guys claimed all kinds of numbers with there first VQ design and didn't deliver. :thumbsdown: Check out my350z dot com. Did ok for FI applications but flopped big time for NA. Just for show and no go. :twocents:

I was kinda disappointed, but it looks good you know? but doenst look good for 1k!

As I said before, designing intake manifolds without a flow bench = crap shoot :icon14:

Or... at best LOTS of trial and error... sounds like so far the results have leaned towards error :icon17:

I agree Jordo. Designing an intake manifold for many new cars these days is a lot of work.

Bling?
 

Prefer performance over bling. For 1K you should get some of both.

We tested the manifold on a FI car. Keep in mind that this is still the prototype. The car boosted 1psi more right at spool up and through out the power band. I didn't get to finish my test because of other things that we had to do on the car before Saturday.

1 psi equals about what 3 hp? And would a NA car get that increase too?

Bump, anything new?

More info this week.

Lol I think I would be better off letting my tuner make my intake manifold.

He atleast has a flow bench

Actually, if it made more boost with no other changes made, that probably means it's flowing LESS not more air.

Boost is really a measure of restriction.

Yes, but it depends where your limiting factor lies - if the greater mass flow allowed the turbo to produce more boost pressure, that's a good thing.

But in the case of this manifold, you're probably spot on.

So is this bad for NA?
