i'm just trying to educate myself here..what kind of HP gain could you expect when running a t25 or something like that on a ka24de with this manifold...is there a big increase in throttle responce and what else is there to expect

[QUOTE=mirra32]what else is there to expect[QUOTE]

a little loss of torque on the bottom end, but it will make more power in the upper range.

I'd get a bigger turbo(maybe a T28 variant) before going to a short runner mani

Even T28 is too tiny...

Hehehe...don't bother with an intake manifold until you've broken the 300rwhp barrier.

Man sized turbo + manly intake mani = The goods.

The problem with your T25 is flow...it can only flow enough (efficiently) for ~250rwhp. Sure, it's done ~270ish on a KA, but that was WAY out of the efficiency range.

And it flows poorly up top...and intake manifold will only make that worse.

i would say make an exhaust manifold in your spare time instead of a intake mani
