(07-04-2009, 02:56 PM)willbhere4u how much hp would you expect doing this intake manifold with a water to air inter cooler 20-25hp????

More airflow means nothing without more fuel. You might get 1-2hp out of it through pumping efficiency. To get its full effect, you would have to turn up the ALDA and full load screw a little.

I have already turned up the ALDA and disconnected the over boost valve added a K26 with 10psi this car was a rocket off the line with the auto then it boosted quick and hard and pulls good up to 3800 RPM then the power dropped off until it shifted its going in my 240 with a 4spd and new manifold and inter cooler EGT and boost gauge.

I think the inter cooler will help! This car was noticeably quicker in the cool morning than after it warmed up.

I was hooping with a hi flow air filter good flowing intake inter cooler straight exhaust it should get the turbo to snap to life a little quicker?

I agree that the A/F ratio is the limit to the power but if you have a less restrictive flow path than the engine will make more out of early boost due to the ALDA being able to adjust, I don't know how much adjustment that could be done from the ALDA but I'm sure if F/I worked on it she would come off the line better.

(06-22-2009, 10:24 AM)Motorhead I put the stock OM617 Turbo intake manifold on a flow bench and found the flow for all 5 ports to be 336.5 CFM@28" H2O and each port as #'ed, 1-176.0, 2-152.6, 3-163.2, 4-160.2, 5-152.1. I then put a chamfer on the sharp inlet step for the turbo side of the intake and the flow hit 350, ..

(06-30-2009, 08:00 PM)Motorhead Total flow is 424.4 CFM@28" H2O STOCK
Cyl#1-179, 2-171, 3-167, 4-170, 5-169

The inlet lip had core shift and was thicker on one side than the other so I rolled and blended the lip, I did not spend more than 5 min. on it just to see what it would do.
Total flow after lip roll is 505.2 CFM@28" H2O
Cyl#1-181, 2-173, 3-173, 4-178, 5-170
.....

Wow, that is great information! I am glad I picked up this manifold a couple of years ago! But I am not glad it is not on my car yet! Tongue

Thanks for posting the pic on how you rolled the inlet lip. I don't know why they casted one side thicker then the other, because all the intakes I've seen in person are like that. Any rate, I wonder what the numbers would be if that side was opened up to the same thickness of the other sides?

(06-24-2009, 03:28 PM)ForcedInduction One idea I was working with was using a W115 or N/A intake, cutting off the plenum, getting a generic A/W intercooler and welding the outlet side of the intercooler to the runners as the new plenum.
Using one of these.

I like that idea - seems pretty clever and makes good use of space but I would worry that putting the IC right over the turbo might defeat the purpose of having the IC with the potential for heat transfer between them.
Would there be room enough to insulate between the turbo and IC?

I'm going to get my turbine housing and exhaust manifold/header coated as well as my down tube, I like F.I.'s idea of putting the battery in the trunk and using the space for the I/C reservoir. I can see the "FINA" intake being the norm with most 617 builds, as long as F.I. does not snatch them all up.

(07-06-2009, 09:56 AM)Motorhead I'm going to get my turbine housing and exhaust manifold/header coated as well as my down tube,

I got my I/E headers ceramic coated but stopped short of doing the turbo housing.
The guys I talked to were concerned that by coating the turbo, too much heat would be trapped in the bearings. They weren't speaking from experience though.
I have thought about it a bit more though - seems that if you coat the inside of the housings, then you minimize the amount of heat soaking into the castings.

Also, as you ceramic coat the parts, more heat will be transmitted down the length of the exhaust - which means you should take a good look at the heat shielding and make sure u-joints and suspension bushings have some shielding from the exhaust.

I was thinking the same thing about water cooling also, I just want the turbine to breath fire and the intake charge to stay cool. The high flow core tor the long runner intake is about $200, I may order one soon but I want to run the intake with out an I/C first. I'm going to do some dyno testing at Westech to see baseline and then as we do the mods, when I build a fresh 617 I hope to test the engine all alone in the dyno cell but for now I will have to use the rollers.

Well I got my 76 300d intake through the part's washer today looks like new. So I spent some time grinding off casting lines and I was able to grind that whole lip off the inlet side of my manifold with my flap disc grinder and it looks a lot more even. Not as thick on that one side I'll take pics tomorrow morning I haven't rolled that edge yet though.

Just roll that edge in, the core shift is ok. The FINA intake is going to be more than enough for our boosted 617's, when I get the cylinder head sorted out and set the port size I might not even match the intake to the head.

I finally found myself one of these intakes up here. Big Grin

The part number is slightly different than Motorheads though, and I think the manifold looks a bit different as well. I only looked at it for a couple of minutes as I wanted to confirm that I have the right one before i buy it.

The part number is: R 617 141 07 01

The air inlet is right on the top of the inlet tube instead of on the end like the ones you guys have posted.

Anyone know what I've got?

I finally found myself one of these intakes up here. Big Grin

The part number is slightly different than Motorheads though, and I think the manifold looks a bit different as well. I only looked at it for a couple of minutes as I wanted to confirm that I have the right one before i buy it.

The part number is: R 617 141 07 01

The air inlet is right on the top of the inlet tube instead of on the end like the ones you guys have posted.

Anyone know what I've got?

I just seen a '85 black 300D turbo (Califorina car) that my friends father owned from new, it is very nice and he said he would take $1,500 for it. I don't need another car but it is a perfect driver, the intake on it is different due to the cat and I would love to put it on the flow bench.

You guys do realise that a turbo inlet manifold doesn't flow any more CFM than a non-turbo inlet manifold?

Even at full noise, each cylinder is only going to be consuming a max of maybe 60 cfm. So flow bench numbers of 170-300 don't mean much.

Its a generic ebay 2"-2.5" 90* reducer. I tried to blot out the corny "JDM" logo but I couldn't get anything to stick to the silicone.
That particular manifold has an inlet from an industrial model Cummins welded to it. The stock inlet has only a half lip on one side and its a metric diameter slightly less than 2.5".

I should be alright without having to modify my intake manifold, ya?

Also, do I need to rotate the turbocharger so the inlet faces "up"?

Okay, sooo other than being able to add an intercooler much more easily with a w115 manifold, are there any other real benefits? I'm wondering if I should get one of those silicon adapter elbows so I can install the one I have in the garage on my car. It already has a non-egr manifold on there so I'm just wondering if it there are any additional gains to be had from simply swapping it on

The main reason you don't wanna run regular rubber hose is that the oil, etc in the intake from egr/crankcase vent/Turbo seal&bearing leaks will weaken it...thus causing the ballooning... that being said it'll still last several months as evidenced by many wastegate hoses I've seen used on cars that didn't have the proper material...including a few of mine.

Thanks for the info! I was wondering what those letters were, DSD, DID, OSO?!!?

Got any links to the company or pictures of their different setup on various cars?


Here are more pictures of the exhaust manifold cleaned up a little.
