Damn I could use them for Racewars this weekend, they'd go for a fortune.

How is that different? It looks like a normal manifold to me. What type of improvement do you get from it.

Ok, I see the diff now. So for the second part of my question, what type of real world gain does it give? Dynos?

There was a fair amount of discussion about this in a thread on this forum about IM design last year sometime. You guys should read every single thread from last year to make sure you are caught up.:)

Sorry, I've lost track with all the PMs coming back and forth (the GB and all). Did I promise to sell you one?

Doppelgänger 11-18-2010 09:55 PM

No....I've just been really trying to get my hands on one even before the discussion I started :( Maybe you can find me one?

Fidgitk 11-18-2010 10:07 PM

If it's less than $200 I'd be interested.

FatKao 11-19-2010 09:38 AM

Anyone have any theories about square top vs B18?

doward 11-19-2010 07:30 PM

Square top is the way to go n/a for sure. They should both offer similar gains in boost. Squaretop should be a bit cheaper i would think. I had about $500 in my honda mani.

Stealth97 11-19-2010 07:37 PM

Definintely interested, depending on price, of course. I'm cheap.

Nagase 11-21-2010 04:39 PM

Corksport is selling these for 475.

Would you rather have this than a custom one made or a BEGI?

KPLAFIN 11-21-2010 05:13 PM

Are these standard equipment in Europe? First I've heard of them as well but if they are then ill start keeping my eyes open in the junkyards around here.

JasonC SBB 11-21-2010 05:52 PM

Has anyone dyno tested these against a 99/00 manifold with VICS switching?

Yep, these are standard on 01+ miata outside of USA.

Grab some on the cheap, sell for massive profit. :)

if you find one LMK :makeout:

BTW I mentioned this somewhere before but does anyone know if it is a different part number. A friend of mine that works for mazda asked me and I dont know. I've been looking around but I can not find out if it is a different part number.
