New n54 Intake manifold to enter the market.

[suspenceful]

Guys, we'll test using the same methodology as before, something similar to this (we are the only vendors doing this stuff btw...):

VTT Tests N54 Intake Manifolds: Part 1 (center feed)

As some of you guys have heard (or read), in pursuit of all things awesome, we have decided to do some testing on the recent group of N54 intake manifolds out on the market. They're all being tested on our E90 6MT GC car. Since we had all the Center feed manifolds, and they are the easiest to...

Same tune, same fuel, same everything back to back with the FF manifold. 5 runs, best and worst thrown out, average of the remaining three. Look for a post from us soon announcing price/group buy intro/etc.

Chris, did you guys ever do an apples-to-apples comparison with this manifold?

Hey Jake,

Apples to apples, no. We'll be rolling back into N54 testing and development soon -been spending a lot of time on other BMW motors and other platforms. I will say this though, that mani is a beauty and plazmaman knows his stuff. I believe Tony has one of these, and I think I may try to get him sauced and arm wrestle me for it (as long as he doesn't read this...). I simply wouldn't look to a manifold for big bang for the buck, but they ARE big bling for the buck, and certainly will help at *some* higher flow point. IMO if you want performance marry this with a ported head and a cam.

More big bling, here is a manifold I Brushed polished and clear coated for a customer in Germany with some dummy injectors,
nothing like leaving your options open.

Enjoy the pics

I'm not big on underhood bling, but that manifold is gorgeous!

Yeah got recommended a new guy to do all my polishing and this was the test mule, whilst he is expensive the work is the best I seen.

Customer is super excited, Ill be doing mine next week.

Bumping an old thread.

I've got the manifold fitted to the biggest baddest single turbo builds in the country and I finally rectified all the issues the car
had, need @V8bait to finish the base tune that we can go back to for trouble shooting before we start turning it up.

Finally sorted the hp28 install and rectified some of the issues & had the best exhaust shop in the country rectify the 4 inch exhaust
and got it so quiet without restriction, their custom made straight through mufflers are a work of art and absolutely no drone.

This will set the bar for RHD builds to aspire to, only a 5 year build and constant covid delays but its done.

Glad to see you still pushing on your car, mines been a paperweight but hopefully I get back to tweaking it soon.

This is a mates car I've been helping him build for a long time and finally finishing up, everytime it's almost finished he keeps moving the goal posts lol.

On 20 psi she ran 12.1 @ 126mph on the very first tune from Wedge.
