Z1 ported intake, worth it??

newls196 · 11-10-2016, 05:57 PM

Thinking about doing their ported intake before I give the car to them for dyno tuning... Is it worth it to spend 275 on this ported manifold? Any actual gains?

Not based on my experience. Search the forums, you'll see.

I'm planning to have mine done after i install the Z1 header's,,,i recently upgraded the Z1 cai to a high-flow design & want to maximize before re-tune.
It's about moving air in & out of the engine-minimizing restriction....as currently my stock exhaust manifolds/header's are holding it back.

How is your Z1 cai upgraded?

I know there are 2 shops in the southeast, that have performed this & shown Dyno results...I'm thinking it helps mostly on the top side of the rpm range.
I'm guessing that it depends on what current mods you have will differ in gains/losses...that would suck to lose power after a mid....biggest thing I lost after mods is traction...lol

What kinda gain's did you get? i've heard that it's more power through the mid-range...but that is only what i've heard.,,
SOHO Motorsports report's 13whp gain above 7k rpm's...less hp/tq below/but that is with long tube header's & 3" exhaust.
3" exhaust will help for TT application-but seem's too large for N/A

install instructions are horrible

Like this...and a very noticeable difference.

From a tuner himself he said it all depends on your setup, I personally watched a dyno that the motordyne intake manifold made less power than the OEM manifold. All depends on your exact set up.

It should technically. Motordyne is just an HR upper. Longer runners should make more low end but less up top than a short runner mani. Should be as simple as that. HR is a good 2" longer on each runner. So what it really depends on is what kind of power you want and where you want that power at for whatever it is you're building for.
