need some advice on this intake

Roland69 · Oct 26, 2007

no but they come with it and they look hellacool. I just found out that the injectors were not included but I already have a spare set

Gearbanger 101 · Oct 26, 2007

Not to mention 19lb fuel injectors are a dime a dozen even if you didn't have a set.

Roland69 · Oct 27, 2007

I might try and find a set of 24's and get a adjustable fuel pressure regulator

Roland69 · Oct 27, 2007

so what should I expect to see for power gains...5hp, 30hp what would you guys say. and where would I gain it...

bloopbloob · Oct 27, 2007

what other mods do you have? I asked the same about a cobra intake on my setup, and with my mods (in sig) people were telling me in the range of 15-25 hp.

Roland69 · Oct 27, 2007

none realy...air baffle removed. K&N pannel. 3:55's, BBK un equil shorty's, flowmaster muff's, factory A?C delrte lol

Gearbanger 101 · Oct 27, 2007

You won't really see much out of this intake until you get a good set of heads on there.....which I'm hoping is in the cards. And unless you plan on pushing your car past 300hp N/A, I wouldn't bother swapping out your injectors either. The 19lb/hr units will serve you fine for now.

Roland69 · Oct 27, 2007

heads are a plan...just waiting till I find a nice set of used ones or get a good deal. I would like to start saving (or sell my dirt bike that I used once this year) and buy some nice aluminum ones.

also looking to maby spray some nitrous since I can get it filled at work and put it on tab lol.....pay day on friday I will see bill instead of a cheque

SuperStang83 · Oct 27, 2007

Did you get the intake, and if so how much did you get it for?

Roland69 · Oct 27, 2007

I will be going to go pick it up as soon as his painter is done with it. He said it is being painted mettalic silver...so it might look alright. we made a deal at $500 with everything in the pics....but he didn't get the injectors

Roland69 · Oct 29, 2007

when I go get it is there anything I should look for that should make me change my mind about buying it

Gearbanger 101 · Oct 29, 2007

Any visible cracks, heavy corrosion inside the water passages, or deep kicks/gouges in the intake face where it seals to the head itself (something the intake gasket might not seal). Visually inspect the rails and throttle body for similar types of imperfections. Otherwise, you should be fine.

just the upper gose for 300+ on ebay....

Roland,

That is a good deal with all the extras. I really like the looks of mine. Yes, you are limited to the power level at the motor, but to me it is still the best looking intake they made. The silver should look good as long as the raw metal wasn't wavy.

The only thing I can think to check at the moment is the front and back mounting holes for the upper. As I have seen some that have crack from being over tightened.

Roland69 · Oct 29, 2007

sweet thanks huys. I am waiting to hear back from him to see if it back from paint yet

Roland69 · Oct 30, 2007

do these use a EGR plate like the stock one on my car does

Roland69 · Oct 30, 2007

he just told me he got it back from paint and it looks real good.
he want's me to come get it like now. I told him I will go and pick it up tomorrow or Thursday after work.
Then he tells me he is leaving the province on friday. so he would deliver for an extra $25....I just told him I will come and get it most likely tomorrow.
I asked if any of the bolt holes were damaged or cracked or anything goofy like that and he told me he looked over everything with a fine tooth comb and it is in awsome shape....
I will hopefully own it tomorrow, maby I can squeeze a little better deal out of him

do these use a EGR plate like the stock one on my car does

Yes, Roland is it the same type plate. When I bought my car it had the original stock TB and Plate attached to the GT40 and it was working fine. A 65 mm matches a little better with the opeing. I think the opening is 68mm or 70mm, but don't quote me on that.

Now you need to see if you can find a top cover plate for it. It is not necessary of course, but they do look better with it. Everyone I have ever seen has been expensive though.

Roland69 · Oct 31, 2007

never seen one I don't think..

But I just went and got the intake....it looks amazing. Great paint job and lot's of extra's with it. $500 was a great deal I think

upper and lower intake just painted
70mm edelbrock TB (new in box)
new TPS
new IAC
billet fuel rails
AN fittings and line
TB, IAC gaskets

just4bob50 · Oct 31, 2007

the fact is this, any time you see an intake test at 6000 rpms or less the GT-40 is still used as the standard. Even though my new Dart 347 will have a Eddy EFI 5.0 on it I still cant bring my self to sell my well ported GT-40. In most 5500 - 6000 rpm 8.2 deck motors the GT-40 will make more torque where you need while giving up minimal horsepower. Plus that is still the best looking intake out there. As for the comment about it being a glorified explorer intake, just look at the difference in runner volume of the tubular upper compared to any other GT-40 based intake. Infact I would love to see what the difference between my 2 intakes would be on my new motor if I had the money to burn.

need some advice on this intake
