_Shane_ Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Lads i was down in a car tuning shop last weekend and they do all chroming and all that sorts and asked for a price on polishing/chroming the intake manifold on the 2jz and they wanted a couple hundred euros as it was a nice bit of work to do etc. Seen a few of these 80mm 90mm 100mm intake manifolds on ebay and was wondering would it be just easier to buy one of these and fit it ? cheers lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Dont put any of the ebay Chinese tat on your car, Greddy or virtual works inlet manifolds are nice but unless you have a large single i doubt you will see any power gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Seems like a good idea but like jamie said, you probly see any big gains, even when you go single its not realy needed unless you run mid to large frame t4s or t6's but whateva you do, do NOT put egay china crap on your car!

Jamie makes a good point and dont forget these manifolds are designed for mahoosive power cars so unless your plan is for at least 800 - 900 hp it would do nothing except push your power band further up the rev range loosing you bottom end torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
