one last intake question

sonicblue · January 17th, 2007, 09:07 PM

anyone know how much boost is safe to run through a stock intake manifold without breaking it?i am considering keeping that stock till trickflow comes out i just dont wanna destroy my motor but i am tired of being jerked around by reichard racings horrible customer service. i am going to talk to a couple engine builders tomorrow but just wanted to see what you guys think

I would say somewhere between 5 and 50 psi....

Seriously though, I've been wondering the same thing. This plastic manifold just doesn't look trusworthy.

itll handle more than your going to throw at it.

Kornut · January 17th, 2007, 09:36 PM

^^I agree. I have seen many people running 15-20 psi and their intakes held up just fine

edit: it's the nitrous you have to worry about with the plastic intake

im starting to lean towards keeping it stock for now anyways. hopefully the trick flow will be out soon and live up to the expectations everyone has of it. i will let you know what the engine builders say tomorrow about it

That's when it goes kaboom, when you get a nitrous backfire

9-12 psi would be pusing it, I would not go any higher, I have seen these crack and blow out, not a good thing. If you have the means I would get one of those typhoon intakes or P51 brand.

Just so you guys know.. I know this is an old thread... but on three cars I know personally... 26-28 PSI is where the stock plastic intake starts blowing to pieces...

I was running 16-17 for a little while and about 13 for about 3 years. I have no problem with old threads.
