So does it make good HP? Hows install? Whats it look like? Does anyone have one? Problems? Is it workth 500 bucks?
Yep...I know all the anwsers....BECAUSE I INSTALLED MINE TODAY!
So, as of right now, I am the only person I have heard of that actually has one on a car. I bought the prototype from IndyMX6 for 500 dollars. Pics tomorrow...I promise.
Install? The install took about 5 hours. The fuel rails needed major reconstruction. We shaved stuff off, tomorrow we need to remove the whole stupid wiring metal thing and replace + soder in new lines so we can save space. Everything else, so far, has gone ok. Also, there was a problem with the wire connectors on the fuel rails. Since they didnt set inbetween the IM correctly, I had to heat it and bend it to where I could fit them in the IM on the rails..... The big setback is that I am having a hard time getting it to idle. There are some majot vaccum leaks around where it seals to the block. I put new pheno spacers on with it...tomorrow I am going to use some 02 sensor safe gasket/sealant/rtv and try to get a really good seal. Everything else seems to be fine. When it starts up, the rpms drop and the car dies right away. Fuel and spark are good..... I CAN drive the car, as long as I dont idle. I drove it 80 miles today....its great so far
Looks? It looks MEAN as HECK on my car. I have the prototype, so the welds are nasty. It doesnt look nice at all. I did my best but it still isnt great. Despite that, having a dual barrel, aluminum, custom, IM looks insane...
POWER? Here is everyones favorite question. Will it make POWER? Well....I have a straight up, REAL anwser. Yes. It does. I would guess around 15-20 hp starting at around 4000 rpms. I can definatly feel the difference, and I dont even have a perfect fit yet. I am sure I am losing a lot of power with my major leak. Better then POWER...is the ride itself. My car is infinatley smoother now. There are no jerks in the power band, it just feels strong and smooth the whole way up until redline. We will get it on a dyno when install is done 100% and I can idle
Tomorrow I am going to rip it off my car again, seal it on there really really really really well with high temp gasket rtv, and hopefully my idle problem is only vaccum related. Everything else looks great, it has good power, it has a mean look, its nice.
Is it worth it? Hell yeah. Itll cost me about 700 dollars total to customize everything, pay someone to help me put it on...and thats including the cost of the IM as well. I know, no matter where I go on the street I will never meet someone that has one of these. Period.
Oh yeah....and today I also put on the MBX FPR kit. Mike.....seriously...can we do something about pre-made lines? I STILL have metal wire from the lines in my fingers. It was a serious PITA to get all the fittings on there....but man....it looks nice....real nice, especially with the IM.....YUMMY
