The absolute cheapest Intake Manifold I could find online, want some thoughts on it if anyone has tried or even seen it before.

I might be mistaken, but I believe the EOS manifold

Correct. Pictures are to compare intake plenums of both EOS and OP's photos.

It would make some fun YouTube content - "Cheapest Supra Mod with Temu Parts!" - dyno it and race it until it explodes from some failure and then see what happened.

Don't me wrong, China is next level and you can get some amazing, high quality products there. Where else is Pure, DAWS, VTT, and the rest getting their castings from ..............But this?

Do we really need to verify where this is being built or if they carry an ISO cert?

I wouldn't bother arguing with that idiot. @Turbro joins a car forum centered on performance mod discussions, then gives a TEDtalk about how stupid it is to spend a lot of money on the most critical upgrade for the car, as if it's some profound insight into this hobby.

He's ready to drop 600 bucks on this "badass solution" diff mount
(1) BTKUSA Diff mount with bushing | SupraMKV - 2020+ Toyota Supra Forum (A90 MKV Generation)
Since he can't use the search function, someone needs to slap the stupid out of him by showing a cheaper option from the only two sponsors left on this trash site that deserve the support @Twisted Tuning @rwense

I 1000% understand why @razorlab is the way he is now
lol.

appreciate the mention here.

Forget about diminishing returns. That's always the case with IAT's and timing corrections. You want to push 700 on stock components. Focus on reducing cylinder temps so you don't blow a ringland.

Just grab a Wagner if you really can't afford to pay from something this significantly important for the car. Its the same dime a dozen dual pass manifolds out there.

Or buy the EOS. Every single dickhead out there in the market has tried to copy mike's single pass design.
RK, CSF, even that bible thumping Remnant dude.

Mine sheds 260 degrees F on my logs at wide open throttle. from 360 degrees charge temps.

I like the way Cloud Yeller gives you proper advice on testing the manifold......................... meanwhile the real advice should've been, "Don't buy that manifold m8."

No no, makes sense. I have seen a used EOS manifold for $3200 but I am vary just because it already was used in 1000+ hp car. But I get the argument and it makes sense.

 

[strickland_barnabe]

Personally id steer clear. I mean for science id love to see data, but even if it does have any performance gain id imagine it probably fits like garbage, has quality issues, and wont last as long.

Yep, the more I hear it seems people have tested them and they run but expecting much lower IATs is a really big ask.

The inability of some members to perform ANY bit of research on their own is so god damn annoying. Some of y'all were never flamed on the old-school car forums and it shows.

OP, if you're responding with "oh wow interesting" to the concept of pressure testing an intake manifold then honestly, it doesn't matter if this was a $800 intake manifold or an $8,000 manifold. God speed.

Well yes, I get what you mean. I know the EOS is the best one out there, but as I argued earlier at what point is it diminishing returns. I understand the larger core and its unique design. I am not as experienced in this area so that’s why I came to ask for advice. I am aware that a lot of stuff gets resold so rather buy direct. But I wanted input if anyone knew anything more. I am just going to return it since I can.

I will not lie, I am very impressed by this level of knowledge. This is what I looked for by posting here, I don’t really care if people think I can or can’t afford it. I want my thought to be torn apart and I can make a better decision.
I think with this is kind, I will return it!

I will not lie, I am very impressed by the level of knowledge here and that’s why I wanted input. This was the input I was requesting, rather than whatever arguement was happening.

with that in mind, I shall return it!

No there is no reason to return it, it works.

Oh yeah........... this plenum is totally acceptable for OP's 800hp build on a 2port stock block with 0 risk.

Because the DME magically tracks individual cylinder AFRs and doesn't just average everything from a single O2 sensor, right?
High velocity air inside an obstructed plenum definitely causes 0 turbulence....... yep.
I'm sure the air mass entering the cylinders definitely won't vary from cycle to cycle. All 6 will be fed evenly and cooled effectively. 100%... Air is smoothly traveling the entire length of that plenum.

Oh yeah, I'm sure that indent at cylinder 6 won't mess with the port injection spray pattern, and that ingesting pooled, unatomized droplets won't trigger a super knock event.
I mean, what could possibly go wrong? Finding out the entire block is a throwaway after scraping the wall with metal shrapnel from a blown ringland? Nothing quite like throwing away a whole motor just to save a few hundred bucks on a Wish.com intake manifold

These pictures are inaccurate.

What's inaccurate, the photo or your ability to process visual information?

 

[omfgzilla]

Maybe it's because we care about his and your mental health. Not a great thing being angry and frustrated all the time.

Angry? Phil, I'm not sure if you've noticed......... I'm having the time of my life. Thank you for making this another classic moment on the forums.

We all got to see razorlab come back for a brief moment, and I nearly had a stroke, I was laughing that hard at the comment.

Man, I really love this forum sometimes.

Omfgzilla, what do you do for a living and what’s your interest in this?

My career for the past 70 years in Tokyo has been unscheduled demolition of urban city skyscrapers for a multibillion dollar real estate giant, but they aggressively deny my employment for some reason. My part-time job on the weekends is beating the shit out of king-kong.

Ok fair enough, as you were. You are adequately qualified to speak on this and you are doing a great service to the members of this community by providinf them accurate and factual information for them to make the correct decisions.

I guess the real question is, "How bad can it be?"
