Â there are a number of cars geting over 300 rwhp with this cam and it is a cam that i will b ofering with the turne. the cam is $380 au.NEW not a regrind so it has the full size base circle etc.. so some time with in a week or 2 i will have that kit tuned and ready to go.. but not b4 i finish these manifolds.. cheers Glen K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Chip thanks for heading up thae AU MPI GP. Mine should be here soon. I am sure it will work out great. I have been in light contact with Glenn. He has been very busy from what I understand. I would much rather wait an extra 2 months to get a good job vs a quick shoddy rush job. Having the SDS in the box though, now that is rough. I hear voices coming from the SDS box calling for some sort of intake manifold.... Thanks again for organizing the GP!

89tsi20g Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 And to think I have 5 intakes ready for immediate shipment : ) cool, do you have injectors pointing at valves as in Aussie MPI? plenum looks like it could be bigger(just my thoughts ;D), how much is Aussie and how much is yours? ($900?), any flow data? if things do not move with Aussie GP i will consider your intake, anybody know price and flow data of EIP manifold? rob NJ.

Chad Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 A larger plenum would add lag and not improve flow > the plenum is 4" as is, that's larger than any OEM plenum on stock MPI cars. Did you know the injector placement on these aussie intakes and other OEM intakes were designed for emmisions, not performance? putting the injector that close improves low RPM combustion, but hurts high RPM fuel atomization. And yes, I can angle the injector, and will on future intakes, 40-45 degrees. flow data? does any one have flow data on a stock intake? EIP's intake? TEP's intake? CNM's intake? Glens intake? NO. Why do people keep asking why I have no flow data when no one else does either ??? They look at EIP's intake and see that it's a vast improvement, then look at mine and say" how do you know it works?" I still don't understand... Glens price $350 (?) my price $900 with new TB and fully stock compatable with velocity stacks and stock T-stat TEP's price ~$1000 and it's just a modified stock intake EIP's price ~$1100 > no compatability with the distributor / AC and no t-stat CNM's I recall being about ~$1200, and we all know about CNM... Sorry Rob, this is not pointed at you, rather I had an "episode" on Trances board where I got flamed for not having all these expensive tests done to my intake, I'm still a little touchy : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarionSports Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 How about a modified stock intake with 2 injectors on the Y that comes down from the throttle body, this way we only need 2 first gen eclipse injectors and extra injector controller and not a whole stand alone system. Just a thought, I think all your intakes a cool, Iam just on a budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed87TSI Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 Hey guys, so whats the final cost of the intake with a 65mm TB? Also how long do I have to wait if I wanted one? I'd like to replace my modified stock intake with a true MPI. Thanks, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 I got a message from Glen that the intakes are ready for delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed87TSI Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 Man that took sometime but I hope all is whats expected now thats its finally being shipped. I would also like to get one in the future to replace my current 4 injector set up. What was to total price of the intake?

Shawn_Silva Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 I didn't realize they were a two piece manifold. Are those thermostat housing flanges I can see?? I love production..... Take care Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_C. Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Does that thing fit under the hood? Tim C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Does that thing fit under the hood? Tim C. I don't have the manifold in hand but I figure if we can run a 2.25" OVP and squeeze all that under the hood I don't think the Magna manifold by looks would sit any higher than that. You got it Shawn those are thermo housing and TB flanges for future intakes. Good eye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 all i need is a manifold... junkyard for the rest... but i have no money for that right now between hood... now another top end rebuild and goin to cali... prolly not til late summer... but i might be buying a second car before i think about mpfi :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed87TSI Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 For those who bought the intake, what was the final cost? Thanks, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 I paid $386 shipped a few months ago. Just waiting for the thing to finally show up. kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed87TSI Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 WOW! What a deal! He qouted me $600 AU. I guess that comes to about what you paid for it. After I max out the 4 injector conversion I'll be picking up one of those bad boys. Thanks, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LILDRGN Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Is this still going on? and when is the end date? (if there is one) What are the specs on it? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonEQuest Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 Can we just use a aussie intake and some Eclipse injectors with an eclipse ECU setup from a bone yard? If so the "engine management" system could be had for nothing. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 the eclipse ECU would require you to use a DIS setup, and the cam angle sensor (which wont work on our setup). Maybe you could somehow retro fit it, but its gonna be a tough setup. The DIS conversion isn't the hard part, its getting a matching signal to the DSM CAS that will be the big deal.
