Intake Manifold

well the cat is out of the bag, as you've posted on insta and facebook, I see pics of an intake mani for the speeeds. Any chance we can get more info here? pretty please?

 

Well, looks like an 2.3 Ecoboost mani from a focus st. I see a PI rail with 4 injectors.

 

Supposedly flows as much as the JMF, but superior aerodynamics/smoother flow path? o.0 And at ~$300 or so instead of $800-$900, this looks to be a total win. I wonder where we'll mount our MAP sensors, though. They're on the IC on ST's, IIRC.

 

Have faith in brown bear. He wouldn't release a half-assed part.

 

Well, I was basically gonna post on here what we posted on FB and IG. anyway, stay tuned for more info soon... very soon.

 

Just out of curiosity, if the the ST is bolt-on fit, then wouldn't options like this be viable too?

Not necessarily... depending on the pu, juan, and the MS6, the factory ST manifold has to be modified to fit. So other manifolds for the ST platform could work with our components, but would need to be modified as well. Also, we'll be posting flow data soon, and it's awesome.

I don't even know why companies sell manifold on the ST platform, when the factory one works soooooooooooo well.

 

Will we be able to keep our factory egr intact using this manifold??

 

Sub a dub dub.

 

Looking forward to flow bench data, once you're willing to release that info anyway you can get one over to @AYOUSTIN so that we can have it tested on the same benches as the others he has done?

 

Sweet! Finally some 10-year-newer tech on an MZR DISI engine's cousin that's trickling down for us!

 

Someone is gonna start hoarding ST manifolds.

 

Money for the company and looks good in the engine bay.

Either way, I am excited for this as you already know.

 

Has anyone else seen this yet (found linked on another forum)? The flow on these stock ST IM's is truly astounding, especially the fact that they have <2% flow imbalance between cylinders (less than a third the JMF's imbalance). Looks like they'll support 700whp easy, so long as they can handle the boost levels. I need one of these yesterday:

Edit: not trying to steal DM's thunder in releasing their test results; just excited to see DM duplicate the amazing flow this link suggests. Besides, I couldn't imagine not sharing these #s

 

Nope. You could potentially make it work though. We may offer our EGR delete kits as an option with the manifold, for people who do not already have one.

We're looking forward to posting it up. Also, maybe we already had gotten one over to Austin

Pretty much.

 

Well now I'm even more excited

 

Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but looks like we're going to need cold pipe solutions to hook-up these new IMs

Stock Focus ST IM is ~$50! o.0

Something tells me they have that covered, at least I hope they do

 

Damn $50 fpr the mani. Im in with a good solution for tb and cold pipe. Guess this means egr and vtcs delete for me

 

Hopefully they make the resistor fix to "trick" the ECU not to throw VTCS codes readily available as part of any kit. Those of us running catless already have 1 code. EGR-less throws 2 more. We don't need another code(s) for VTCS (depending on our state inspection laws/number of not readys allowed).
