Im concidering this...

ive heard the manifold and an Invidia exhaust that i just ordered would bump my HP up around 50WHP, is this true?

 

nope, sorry but that manifold is about the largest waste of money. do a search and youll come up with a bunch of horrible dynos and responses to that manifold! best of luck

 

I think +50 HP is pushing it for just and intake, plenum replacement and exhaust. Realistically I’d say more around 20-30 HP.

 

lmfao you'd be lucky if you get 15hp

 

A intake, a plenum, headers, cats, a true dual exhaust, and some serious dyno tuning with a UTEC or similar may get you around 30 -40 whp.

 

There were no negative graphs of that item. The graph from the website is kinda fudged. Someone in panama did a before after, and he gained 10ish whp over his regular plenum mod. I did a dyno and i came to 260whp w/ my mods. Its doing something...no ones did a direct measurement yet though

 

i dont think some of you are concidering the fact that i have turbo w/o an exhaust right now. i have a TN kit with stock exhaust. so exhaust and a manifold are suppose to boost me up more then a stock Z

 

Oh ****. I completely missed that. Well if your gonna get a less restrictive exhaust, then you'll have to get it retuned, because otherwise your gonna lean out and possibly detonate. So after the tune, i think its totally possible to get 50whp.

 

The SSV will richen you up. An exhaust will lean u out. I'd suggest the JIC titanium exhaust if u like a 'jdm' look..or the apexi exhaust which i heard this weekend..which was very Z'ish.

 

hmmm thanks for the input guys. I like the way the Invidia sounds with a Turbo kit. and i have a Utec so i wont need to be re-tuned. i just have the TN reflash. crazy how exhaust and a manifold add 50WHP or more. Stock i dyno'd 239WHP so im really wondering what i will be landing now.... after this exhaust and manifold.

 

253 whp if you are lucky - I am serious

 

Is everyone missing the fact that he installed a turbo setup? I'm guessing the 239whp was before this.

 

either way, the plenum won't make more than 15 hp

 

0

the SSV has shown to do NOTHING, infact sometimes even losing power, on N/A vehicles

sure, F/I'd you could get 50-60rw from it, but not N/A

 

lose power? please explain how you lose power with a less restrictive intake manifold.

 

some poeople that are FI like u have posted gains with the plenum. But most people have attributed that to tuning but the last vortech guy that posted about it showed a measureable gain from tuned w/out ssv to tuned w/ ssv. If I recall it was around 15-20hp. But the plenum might effect your boost amount which if it was lowered would definately show up in the dyno.
