    Indeed. The fact that Dale was able to dance right on the level of the knock threshold gave illuminating results. Ideally, we'd have 4 knock sensors, 1/cylinder, so we knew exactly where the knock occurs first. This is probably impractical and expensive. His results, however, strongly suggest that Dale's results were solely a function of unequal distribution between cylinders that was remedied by nozzle location. He controlled his variables very well. He was spraying the same amount of WMI, for instance, and had almost identical ambient conditions.

    It is for this reason that I believe it'll be a non-issue with the EB manifold. Flow imbalances won't need addressed via different nozzle location. Additionally, the EB manifold will likely positively address the notorious cylinder #3 issues we experience. Our disproportionately high problems with that cylinder are likely for the same reason, I think.

    Why not? I'd love for you to do it. I'll even motivate you. If you make it fit in a 'reasonable fashion' with the over engine piping, we'll refund half the kit. Let's say 'reasonable fashion' is something that others like and imitate. Shall we say by the end of fall? Sound fair? That's a faeker only option.

    I do expect that result would be somewhat different with the EB manifold. I'm sure someone will test and report back.

    Thank you for the support!

    Give us some time. We've seen enough interest in the TMIC fitment to pursue it. No timeline for you right now, unfortunately.

    Don't think so. Go to focusst.org and you'll see they have even more problems with cylinder #3 than we do.

    Dang. But they have a different IM, head, and EM. I doubt a common cause. One can hope, anyways...

    until the part is out in the wild, long winded discussions aren't going to do much good. the few beta kits out there have been running fine with no issues. let's keep the guesses about issues to a min since it's not going to be worth much until the people who get the kits can start doing tests.



    farhan, you're on.

    Dang, I didn't think about FMIC hot piping clearance between the radiator and IM. I wonder if my JBR pipe will still work there or be easily adapted to do so. Time will tell...

    Looking forward to the release of more information from DM.

    Weight info, for those who are interested in shedding a tiny bit.

    ST Mani: 3.6 lb
    DM Adapter: 1.7 lb

    I don't have a stock manifold weight, only one that has VTCS removed with mild porting. It weighed 7.7lb, so I'm guessing a totally stock mani is around 8.5lb.

    Approximate savings: 3.2 lb

    Adapter is identical. Mani needs some more modification, and small difference in hardware.
