Low-cost Alternative to Intake Manifold???

[razorlab]

a heat exchanger in the intake mani is what's responsible for lowering IAT's.

Biggest difference in IAT management is from upgrading the intake manifold with the intercooler inside. One of the heat exchangers in the front cooling stack is also part of the intake manifold cooling as it's in the same circuit. Just "upgrading" the front cooling stack heat exchanger does very little.

Low temp circuit: Intake Manifold (x1), front heat exchanger (x1)
High temp circuit: Front radiator (x1), side aux heat exchangers (x2), oil cooler block (x1)
Trans cooler: front cooling stack (x1)

The most important part for me is the sleeper OEM look and minimal to no pressure drop.

No sure of quality but I found this the other day:

I appreciate it but its not really relevant. I also wouldn't trust that at all.

If you could post something the most opposite of what this thread is about, this would be it.

OK....... So I finally figured it out....... it's obviously a multi purpose agricultural wheat harvester that also serves as a zombie apocalypse bulldozer, but it's definitely not a boat. Mystery solved

Bump + my guess at the logo:

Amphibious Drag Race Tug...filming of it in one of the "new" Grand Tour episodes has been completed; currently in postproduction.

I'd lay off the whiskey.

You want low-cost? Bag of ice on top of your intake, 2nd bag on top of your charge pipe / stock manifold, swap for new bags after every lap.

That may work for drag racing but what about time attack, W2W, HPDEs?

This is supposed to be a solution to work for all drivers for all setups...even those with upgraded manifolds.

I jest!

Honestly, I'm not really sure what worthwhile and cost-effective non-manifold-upgrade options there would be for IAT reductions on this car, aside from the obvious "turbo heat shield and better insulation on the airbox", which don't usually make too much of an impact.

In regards to the poll, $1,300 and below all together has to be the target for a legitimately impactful IAT reduction kit for it to be worth it, otherwise I would imagine it's just a better use of your money to up your budget to $2.5K and get something like the Wagner manifold.

Interested, gonna follow if there are any updates
I tried my car in a small time attack track, my IAT was 75-80 °C (about 176 °F) with everything stock.
