Default JG Edelbrock VTEC manifold

Lookin' at this manifold. Anyone got some info. on it?

It says it makes power from 7000 - 10.000 rpms. But it's for N/A or turbo....


Anyone got some advice on this stuff???

We haven't dynoed my friends hatch(gsr) with the manifold but he raced another hatch with an Crvtec and killed it by two cars. My friends car is stock on bottom and had cams only. Both are good driver. The Crvtec i don't know what he has all done but he has cams and ecu upgrade with skunk 2 manifold. I also have the jg mainfold on my car and it feels like it has a second pull up around 8000 rpm. Than again mines full built and i rev it around 9500 rpm.

For n/a go with skunk2 manifold, it's more suited for that. The large intake plenum of the JG/Edelbrock manifold is more suited for FI.

the reason i'm debating. is well my motor will turbo'd no doubt. but i'm starting backup with school and i'm gonna buy a b series block to build up real slow while i'm doing the school thing. i'm getting ready for my paint and stuff and well i'm gonna pull the motor to strip the engine bay and get it painted. i'm doing all mods i'm possibly interested in while the motor is out, so for the next 4 years i dont' hassle with it.

now my main reason for switching the intake manifold is. to get some better flow. i dont' like how the b18c1 manifold doesn't pull till like 6000...

now my friend has a b18c1 with the skunk2 and over bore tb. his starts to pull at about 5000. i have an extra p28, and the a jun program for the ecu. i just need to chip it, and i can use that in conjunction with the single runner manifold and an ericks racing 70mm tapered to 68 mm tb.

question is. fine the jg manifold doesn't make much power, but would you guys say i'll notice a little bit more pull from 5000 to 8000.. not more power, but pull a little sooner, and give me a little bit more of a flatter power band. or am i not gonna see **** till i start pulling at 8k, and loose whatever pull i did get at 6k? now i can buy the skunk2 manifold, and when i'm boosted go ahead and get the jg. but i know i'll find a nice turbo kit price and slap one in soon, with some hondata

you guys follow what i'm sayin'?

if you are going to torbo your car in the near future I would get the jg manifold. It will still give some hps but at least your not going to waste money on buying both the skunk and jg manifold. Unless you have plenty of money to throw away.

The JG manifold won't pull before 7000 RPMs.

i say go for it. you know what i got, made an improvement in the top end. i would think something that allowed even more air flow would do even better. especially since you are going turbo. don't spend too much more than i did though.
