Lol this thread.

I've had my Godspeed intake on ever since I was at 307whp on a 2871.

Now I'm at 710whp and a 66mm turbo.

Hate my parts, you'll hate my tail lights too when that's all you hard parking bitches see.





Trolllllllololol.

haha you're absolutely right. shit is sitting in the same garage, and its back floating on jackstands... AGAIN. but look at the bright side, this year i got the rear-end installed, axles and all. I even managed to bend and make new fuel/brake lines.... for this piece of shit collector-car, right? Seriously, this project should have been over -15 years ago (thats negative fifteen).. but like an idiot, i continue to faithfully plow-ahead blindly for a project that wont be worth a plugged nickel


Fuck.

You really know its bad when we talk shit to eachother and dont even care about getting heated and argumentative anymore. Either we're getting old or we're getting WAY to used to each others bullshit! ha


ps: you guys want to hear something funny? all this shit talking about knockoff stuff and i have to come clean, a few years back i bought a replica Tomei oil outlet block... cant remember who makes it (stance?), but Omikron sold it to me for dirt cheap. I'm sorry guys. I just dont want you all to look at me like a hypocrite, even though I am. oh, i did change the bolts as that secure it to the block - the bolts included were totally improper.



tear....

Ixfxi Almost brought a tear to my eye.

Thanks for all that contributed. Big win for all zilvians today

No, I mean with the actual cable installed. I have a ziptied fuel rail from the last fucktard owner so I'm sure I'm missing shit for the throttle cable. I'm pretty sure the wrong nuts are also on there. Hopefully I can rule out what I need if there's a pic of everything put together, Xcessive's site just has it mounted on an intake. If you don't, no worries I'll figure something out or buy a new setup.

Dude, I was referring to the pic I posted of my engine bay- The bracket and cable are installed in it... However, this will probably be a bit more helpful:



The bracket is about as simple as it gets... 20 bucks well-spent.

WOW, you're SUPER FUCKING AWESOME DUDE!!!

You're my hero, I want to be like you when I grow into my big-boy pants...



It is saddening how proud you are that you managed to make a shitload of HP with a knockoff intake. I mean if you want to state it as a fact about how they can perform when setup properly that's fine. You're just so damned smug and proud of it though, It's pathetic really...

EsChassisLove

Lol got you good fuckers I don't have a Godspeed plenum haha

But the truth is, I still make more power, more reliably than anyone else in this thread, with an ISIS manifold.
True story.

It is amusing the butthurt you guys got when I threw out some high numbers. Talk about jelly hard parkers. Sorry you can't make power....no reason to go off on someone who does though.

You didn't actually bother to read AND COMPREHEND my post did you???

It isn't about how much power you make. It's about how damned proud and smug you are about:

1: the fact that you made a bunch of power (apparently the number was a lie because you're just trolling like a douchebag)
2: the fact that you did it with a knockoff intake mani

It's about your attitude, not necessarily what you said factually. I'm well aware that an intake manifold is ONLY a basic casting. There is no reason that a knockoff cannot perform equally to an original Greddy. It may take a little extra work, likely just cleaning up the casting on the inside of the mani, but it can work just as good. If I was looking for an intake mani for an SR the brand of the mani wouldn't be that important to me either. BUT I wouldn't be so smug about it. I would state it as facts, like Mikester did in his posts. It's really nothing to brag about and there IS something to be said for buying the ORIGINAL part rather than a knockoff. There IS something to be said for remaining loyal to the companies that are pioneering these parts for the lowly knockoff artists to copy and undercut them on price.

EsChassisLove

Here's a great fact, and extrude honed ISIS runs roughly $650. Smoooooooth like butter after that.

A GReddy still costs close to $900 and is rough on the inside. Pick your poison.

That fun fact should end this thread haha

But Godspeed? Nah don't buy that shit. I draw a line in the sand for my shit parts lmao

Dude, please tell us your not serious. I assure you- although we definitely give you props for pulling 700 out of an SR [relatively] reliably; nobody is butthurt or jealous... and of course, some of us ARE hard-parked

Pretty sure it was the previous comment that maybe could have been worded more tactfully... Like this:

^^Each to their own... Knockoff is a knockoff is a knockoff... All the same stuff.

Trying to differentiate in quality between knockoff brands is like trying to pick out the skeezy crack whore that is LEAST likely to give you aids.

ISIS is just as crappy as any other knockoff. Anybody ever held a set of ISIS arms in their own two hands? The rod ends look to be OK, maybe even better than some other knockoffs, but the brackets are all welded like shit and not squared up properly. At least Godspeed/Megan arms are STRAIGHT...

You can't differentiate in quality between those companies as a whole. You CAN pick and choose individual parts that are better or worse in one way or another, but as a whole the quality is equal...

Corbic

So is it just pointless to differentiate between name brands?

racepar1

For the most part, yes it is. Each company has their strengths and weaknesses. It's all about the individual part that you are buying. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY to learn about which company's parts are better for what other than EXPERIENCE. You have to have held both parts in your hands and compare them. Hell, there are certainly at least a couple knockoff parts that are "better" than their higher priced name brand counterparts. The problem is that you need a crapload of experience to differentiate between them. You can't learn about it in a book, forum, google, magazine, etc...

derass

This has got me leaning towards the ISIS

Not likely, just look at anyone making around 400 WHP with the GT2871R, they are all using a Greddy (style) manifold.

Exactly, it's not about being cheap, it's about doing what is cost effective and making your money count. I track my car every other weekend and do what I can to make that happen with my given budget. I have spent good money on the parts that matter; Garrett GT2871R, KAAZ 2-Way, Haltech PS1000. Just spent $900 on tires that will last me the final 3 events of this season. On the other hand, I refuse to buy aero, even cheap knockoff stuff, because I know it will get destroyed and will ultimately be a waste of money. Maybe I could have skipped an event or two this season to buy the genuine manifold, but where's the fun in that?

I have seen your input on the manifold elsewhere on this forum and thought your install was this thread: http://zilvia.net/f/chat/221165-new-...ld-review.html
Thank you for your post here!

I dont know if this was directed towards me, but I am certainly no kid. You're right, that I am not aiming for 500+ HP, where an imperfectly atomized A/F mixture might be cause for concern, but I do comepete in my local drift series and big HP makes for lots of speed and smoke which the crowd loves!

Good to hear it works well for you, more positive feedback for the ISIS.

I'm glad to see that you seem to be a little more open minded to the idea of a cost effective option.

Bushido

y'all convinced me to make my own manifold!

cool!!!!!!!

still working on the exhaust side:

But for real, just trolling haha. I only make 500+HP. Not 700+.

I honestly didn't even know Godspeed made intake manis until this threa lmao

I will let you know how my isis does when I push 40psi through it. That will be the determining factor of its strength/reliability

Thankfully it's cast. So I do not have to worry about blowing the welds on the intake.

I am not a big fan of ISIS nor Enjuku. My problem with Enjuku is their prices; but their service is definitely awesome.

Wasn't assuming you are actually a 'kid'... just happened to bew the word I chose in that post... However, unless you are in your 40's, you're technically still a kid to me

As for the brand names.... Experience is definitely key. Even with top-quality parts, there is a learning curve in figuring out which parts play nice together and which do not. They key is to find a combination/balance that works for you and stick to it.
