We took it down again today, and with a 73mm C&L, Jeff got 232 hp out of the beast.

(We didn't port anything... Because this was a test, more or less, we wanted to see what it would put out as if a customer were buying it and just throwing it on)

Mine needed alot of port, polish, and machining to get to work. I bet you could pick up some more power....


and all in all you gained 14RWHP (so something like 17 FWHP) which isnt too bad...

I'll probably do that at a later time, like when I get heads.

Thanks, Bill. Only you would point out the shoes.

Hey- how was your intake port alignment with that mainfold?

I had to mill 60 tho of each side of my PP typhoon intake to get them close enought to grind to match.

Wondering if others are having the same problems with indexing this manifold.

My intake installed quite well. My major complaint was the fasteners that came with the kit. I broke three of them during my first install. You know it is a quality kit when the fasteners break before you reach the specified torque rating for installation. Also, the ports are horribly inconsistent. I evened them up with some ghetto port work for now. It was easy to see where Edelbrock spends the extra time and money... it is called CNC work.

because IF I scored Professional Products stuff I would of sold it and got accufab... .. Hey vulcan how are you!!!!

Definately an Accufab on the way. Besides, the TB is hitting the hood, and with those motor mounts too, it sits a little higher.

You offering to help on the turbo? Let me make some more friends first.....

I found this thread about different motor mounts and clearance issues.

Good to know... After the fact. lol
I still need a different TB, though.

Yeah I didn't use their faseners (bought some grade 8 studs at tacoma screw, makes it much easyier to index with studs) and I knodiced the port incosistancy as well and fixed it with port work.

That's funny....I happen to know someone who has an Accufab throttle body taking up space in the garage.

come to think of it i spent like 2 hours inside my upper intake manifold deburring the runners and chamber did no porting though just got rid of the large peices of metal that were sticking up

 

[MTMMAN]

Nice pics That third pic says it all, Its good to see that you use eye protection when doing your nails Makes a person wonder..... why didnt we ever see the free stuff Misha was scoring

Misha was getting free stuff? Some times you gotta work it. Why do most people work at speed shops? Parts for their own cars.
Nice intake Jess. I've got the same one but I painted it crinkle black.

Cool to see ya wrenching on your own car.

Thanks! It was kinda fun. Dang!! I should have worn my special shirt, huh? And the other thing...

 

[codemonkey]

Good Job kid! I did the same job and screwed mine up and had to take it to AFP to get it fixed!

Yah how come you didn't wear that outfit when working on the car. You could have shot a "Girls of AFP & BOP" while working on your car.
