Thread: What do you guys think of this? (Intake manifold)

In the 240SX community (which is all I know) there are mixed reviews on these manifolds. People seem to have trouble with tuning for them, mainly due to the not-the-greatest casting causing the plenum to leak under boost, while on NA motors people have experienced low and mid-range power losses (though that is to be expected without supporting mods and proper tuning).

That being said, I still bought one, mainly because it is the most economical and best-looking (in my opinion) manifold option for an RWD VE.

And not to be all negative, apparently they can perform quite well once the casting is cleaned up a bit, coupled with a good tune.
On an NA motor it should work fine just bolted on, though for any serious power application the best solution seems to be to weld the flange and plenum.

this meatle head gasket you mentioned for the ve, is it the same as the stock de? if so would i benifit from using this gasket oposed to the composit OEM sr20de gasket

At least on N/A correctly sealed and installed wont have any Issues!!
As far of power gains with correct cam timing and activation and tuned correctly wont affect the mid range power and make decent top end too!!
This is what The fastest Sentras down here use!!

Do you have a build thread?

Matej that is really usefull information, I dont mind welding it, since I will not like to have to be dealing with air leaks under boost

Not that expensive to give it a shot spec since your doin head work
I'd try it worse come to worse it looks nicer lol or sell it
