Why believe hype when you can see actual dyno results that this manifold works. A local Evo specialist shop nearby in the tri-state area did some testing on one of their customer cars and we were more than excited when we saw the results. The test vehicle was an ’06 Evo 9 MR, stock bottom end, Turbo Trix Racing 280 cams, 1000cc injectors, Walbro pump, TTR 50 trim kit & IC piping kit, SMC alky kit being ran on all runs and AEM EMS for engine management. The runs were done back to back, same day—same dyno—same boost (32psi), with only the intake manifold being swapped out. Prior to our intake manifold install, the car was fine tuned to an impressive 494.5hp, 441.28 ft/tq which is extremely rare to see a 50 trim car making such power. With our intake manifold bolted on, the car spun the rollers to an even more impressive 512.39hp and 461.4 ft/tq ! Horsepower was ABOVE the stock intake manifold graph virtually the entire run too, starting at 3500—just see the graph below for yourself. You may think 18 peak hp and 20 ft/tq isn’t really all that much, but also keep in mind that this car was practically maxed out on it’s current setup. At mid-range RPMs the gains were even larger increasing power by 41hp! Put this on a 35r or larger turbo’ed car that loves to pump a lot of volume and breathe up top and expect 1.5-2 times those gains! We’ve seen it with the DSM’s, and know this is possible.
So if you’re ready to step it up and make the most out of your current Evo mods, then consider swapping out that tiny restrictive intake manifold for a JMF sheet metal intake. It’s proven power!
