Hi Peoples
So i am building a VK with 355 supercharged motor and have some questions about intakes.
The motor is built for boost, and i am using a Vortech V1-T trim. (work in progress)
I am will run a 7" crank pulley and 3" charger pulley so it will be maxing out the impeller speed at max revs.
I have read a fair bit of peoples opinions on the standard banana manifold and consensus is that its crap.
I am wondering when you use forced induction how it changes the intake characteristics.
The stock banana manifold can be much better with a larger front snout and larger TB (like Starr manifold) but if its boosted does it make much difference.
I was thinking about cutting the front off the stock manifold, and installing a 90mm TB but facing the left side of the engine bay where my intercooler pipes will come from.
The other option would be an aftermarket carby style manifold with a adapter elbow in top going to an LS style throttle body.
The other thing i was wondering is that all the pipe fron the supercharger outlet through intercooler and to the TB will all be 3", the same as the stock TB, so is there any gain to be made but changing the intake.
Let me know what you all think
Cheers
