Boost designs new online store is opened and we have the pics of the new boost designs intake manifold that we will be receiving after Christmas, for final fitment and dyno pulls before we ok it for production. customers should be able to get it mid January if everything continues well with the final fitment and dyno #. we will be closed till the 27th of December, but will check our e-mail once a day while were out of town. everyone have a great Christmas and thanks for your support.

*drools* can't wait for the dyno. And to think people were complaining and yelling at boost designs a month ago. Man, between the aem ems, this new intake, and the upcoming release of all the internals, the NA ka's might be able to start breaking the 200's a lot easier. Not as good as ITB's but definitly cheaper and easier.

i noticed it too. hopefully it's just the angle of the picture.WDRacing wrote:The intake runners don't look port matched to the flange???

I don't understand... The company is called boost designs but this manifold is made for an NA setup?madbouncy wrote:*drools* can't wait for the dyno.

Since the website is down I can't see the pics or read info, but this is what I am gathering from your post.. Is this the case?

Re: (Ebanks)
I'm pertty sure it's made for either, not like it matters which you use it on. I was just saying that it's great to have more bolt ons that can up the power before you move into boosting. Boost will give you a good amount of hp but if you build a strong na motor (withoug high compression and stuff of course), then when you boost it you'll make more hp for that amount of boost. That's more my goal than making loads of horsepower, just a really strong low boost application, not that it'll ever happen, but I can dream. However, I think Ivan's intake manifold will turn out better, however boost desings will probably be a good amount cheaper, like they said in Ivan's thread, it's for horse power freaks. We'll just have to wait for the dynos and prices. Damn christmas getting in the way, making us wait.

There's quite a few considerable differences between an intake manifold designed for natural aspiration and one designed for forced induction...

Re: (MarkEmark)
Yes, but in his defence even a intake manifold designed for NA setups would flow better under boost than the stock one...but your exactly right, there's huge difference in the needs of both designs...this one looks to be a more generic design but more NA then Boost specfic, just compare this one to Phat-KAT's manifold...MarkEmark wrote:

Re: (I Need $$$)
Yes, but it's a lot different boosting an OEM N/A intake manifold which has been designed for a good, somewhat compromised, powerband all around, and using an intake manifold DESIGNED solely for boost for a naturally-aspirated application. Most people buying an aftermarket intake manifold for a KA-T are those people who already have a laundry list of modifications to their engine (fully built), are boosting quite a bit, have excellent fuel management, and are already making some serious power.... and, short of turning up the boost anymore (perhaps they are at the max boost for their fuel system), there's no way they can make any more power. You won't see many people with these expensive, very nice intake manifolds who are only boosting 8 psi...I Need $$$ wrote:Stock intake manifold was made for NA but there are people boosting on that and making considerable amounts of power. Maybe I shouldn't be the one to say that since I am still stock but I figured I would just put in my .02 cents.
The reason people make plenty of power on the OEM KA intake manifold is because extremely efficient/well designed intake manifolds/plenums aren't as much as a concern on boosted engines compared to naturally aspirated engines as it will be pressurized. No matter what the configuration, you'll get more than 100% volumetric efficiency under boost.
Re: (MarkEmark)
Redline pretty much said what i was thinking. I didn't mean to try and say that an NA and tubro manifold are the same. But I think both will benefit from a better intake manifold. You can just look at the BD manifold and tell it's not exactly the most flowing manifold. Like red said, compare it to the kat manifold and you can tell it's not made to be nearly as good, hence why it's giong to be a lot cheaper. Also, nothing's been said about the TB so I assume BD will be using the stock one, where as KAT's is using a larger one. It's like exhaust, it helps to go bigger than stock for na and turbo, you just need to be more careful with na about going too big.MarkEmark wrote:Are you serious?!?!?!?!?

Re: (MarkEmark)
Yeah I know the length of the runners and the size of the plenum differ a lot between turbo vs. NA due to the fact of where you want the most torque in your RPM's. I was just thinking that both would benifit from a larger plenum and possibly shorter runners. It seems that you have a better understanding of these factors than I but that was my assumption. Oh and I saw your video and am impressed. Do you have a cardomain page where I can look at your setup?
