i was just wondering if anyone who is FI has considered JUN's intake manifold? i'v seen one they made for our engine and it looked really really sweet. also it adds a crap load of 'bling bling'(whatever that is) to your engine bay...just curious....

Oh boya here we go again.........didnt he post this in another thread....but never showed anything else. Only intake manifold jun makes is for the skyline and sr20 that I can see

i'v seen it in a magazine. the engine was transplanted into a 350z. JUN did serious work on the engine more then any orger has come close too....i was just wondering if anyone knew about it because everyone talks so much about our intake manifold and TB i thought it was odd noone brought it up or maybe it's just to costly....i can scan in images of it if your interested. also i did post this in another thread but some mod deleted it for some unknown reason...

JUN making a custom manifold for a project car, and JUN actually producing this manifold for the market are two TOTALLY different things.

suck it trebek! it was a vq30det. not a damn 350z engine. it clearly states it was a vq30de to start with. but what cullennj76 said was right they arn't going to produce it for us. no way people on the org would pay those prices. oh an you all talk about owning people. you sound like a retard. in real life i wonder if you people running around and screaming you got owned *****.

slammned it was a vq30 turned 90degrees. they chose the vq30 because they liked it's potential more then the stock 350z engine or so the artical claimed.

I would laugh if I heard "owned" in someones conversation.. Thats just sad.

CullenJ76

iTrader: (3)

so do I

Torgus

iTrader: (10)

hmm...you may be right i do find it really odd they would call a different engine the same as ours with a turbo but who knows...in the artical it said it was 3.8l so i guess what your saying is making more sense...i know our engine without a whole new top end couldn't get close to 3.8...i'm going to go find that artical and reread maybe get some scans up...i'd almost bet money they said they took it from a maxima. anyways peace.

i'v heard people in real life say LOL as in el ow el. it is soo ****ing rediculous. who would ever in a conversation let alone say laughing out loud, and then aberviate it....just along the same lines as owned. pwnd and all of its 1337 varyiations etc.

Owned, and more recently pwned has been common language around here for more than a year or two. I hear people say it all the time.

CullenJ76

iTrader: (3)

getting more common here too. And believe me it IS not a VQ30DE. Super street sucks it anyway. That's the only article I've found worth reading in years.

So let me get this straight........you have no idea what engine it is, posted that jun makes an intake manifold for our cars, then changed your mind into saying they probably dont make it for us.............why the hell did you even post??

stephenlc

iTrader: (1)

I wish I knew what article it was in but I know what he is talking about now. Jun made a orange 350z for a top speed challange. They were trying to get over 200 mph. The used a VQ30DET bored and stroked to 3.8 liters. They probally used a custom intake manifold and will probally never make one agains unless you call them in Japan. The car was going like 170-180 and it crashed, a tire popped.

??? How do you pronounce pwned? "Poned"?

Okay, he make you look stuuupppiidd. How's that?

I actually don't think it was a tire...I think something in the suspension/steering gave way. But either way, I have that video saved at home.

I have the video also, I would post it on my site but I only have 56k. I might burn it on disk and upload at school.

That was a custom fabricated manifold. Even if it would fit on our cars, and it won't, you probably wouldn't want it. That thing had runners which were at most 4" long. You would have no low end or midrange really with a setup like that. It was basically just a big surge tank planted on top of the head. That was an 800hp top speed car, totally different power characteristics than what you'd want to drive on the street.

In a couple of months, I should have something cobbled together. I'm not a big MEVI fan, so I'm working on a custom manifold. Got a few design ideas in mind I'd like to try out. The USIM has so many design shortcomings I'm amazed it makes decent power at all. A friend of mine already fabricates intake manifolds for Supras so he's going to be helping on the project. And I run a CNC shop so all the needed flanges/fittings can be easily made in house. Plus my friend runs a dyno, so we can easily verify what works and what doesn't.

I would be really interested in this if it went to production. Which area of the the power band are you going to try and focus on, or are you hoping to lift the entire curve?

Shadow

iTrader: (15)

My focus is more on the upper range of the power band simply because it is where the USIM is lacking. But, I'm really going to try and see if we can minimize loss in the low and midrange. That's why I want to test out a few different things and try it out on the dyno.

A whole new top end wouldn't change the engine size at all.

stephenlc

iTrader: (1)

I think just opening up the runner sby making the wider and taller and seperating the runners would get good gains. The hard part is matching up the recurculation valve and making parrts for everything else for the intake manifold. If you make a custom manifold try making something where you can put the 70mm pathfiner throttlebody on there without porting or even a bigger throttlebody from a different car.

Long runners make for better low end power, so if that intake manifold had super long runners there must have been some other characteristic about it that made it have good top end power.

stephenlc

iTrader: (1)

It has short runners, that is what he is saying.

Nealoc187

iTrader: (23)

Oh you're right I misread what he said.

Shadow

iTrader: (15)

That's why I'm working on this. The flanges for the IACV, TB, EGR, and runners aren't a problem. I can make those without at my shop easily. I've taken measurements already for all those. The IACV and EGR are obviously just going to be replicated to the factory. The TB, I'll probably up to 70 for the Pathfinder throttle body. But I could make it any size for whatever throttle body that is used. The EGR is the only thing that is going to have to be fiddled with, I'll probably make a remote fitting for it since the EGR valve is on a hard line apparently and I'm probably going to be moving the plenum up some with shorter runners.
