You can see even in this lower power testing that the manifold was just starting to work. It just needed to be revved higher.

I have an cosworth manifold here. If someone can get me an adapter plate for a drive by cable throttle body, I can throw it on and get some comparison data

I believe it Clark. Personally I think on a 700 whp car the gains would be closer to 70 whp or more past say 6500 rpm but didn't wanna post that! Sounds crazy but these things flow well up top.

Does the hood close with the IAC? I know this way you'll have to do the ac delete. Thanks

I have tested dozens of them now. Not recommend for street cars under 7000 rpm or 500hp. The loss in midrange power can be huge. Back to back testing on a GT35R was almost a full 1000 rpm later trq peak. Under 5000 rpm cars loose huge power and trq. Gains are 6500 and up for drag or high rpm setups. Road racing or drag racing? The manifold will help. Street? Forget it.

Great insight indeed

Although I have 35R, PnP heads, Kelford 272s, +1mm bigger valves, I will stick with the stock IM since 99.9% of my driving is on the street

Not the exact ideal comparison due to differences in boost that was negated by differences in temperature but you get the idea :tup:

Driving impressions after Cosworth IM:

1. Turbo spool sounds 25% louder

2. Drives like stock at part throttle just like before.

3. Yes, the lag is definitely noticeable at WOT tip-in but it is not a deal breaker at all. The fact that I went with an HTA86 turbo, big heads/valves/cams already means that I am too far gone at trying to hold on to any low end. Might as well make the most of the top end!

4. The top end, oh yes the top end Basically I picked up 23-26whp/11wtq at every single rpm after 4500rpms according to the dyno graph. The top end is just downright BRUTAL now :tup:

5. Would I recommend the Cosworth IM? I would ONLY advise it to people with turbos at >70lb/min + headwork + running >30psi AND who operate at high rpms for lengthy periods (road racing or drag).

__________________________________________________ ________________

This is the interesting graph on straight 93 octane, boost is the same but varied greatly on ambient temperatures.



Impressions:

1. Even at 25psi, the Cosworth IM is still not able to "wake up". There are huge losses of power down low and shifting of the curve to the right.

2. I wouldn't say I lost power with the Cosworth IM because you have to account for the temperatures differences in the tunes but certainly the benefits of the Cosworth IM on low boost are marginal at best.

3. The OEM STi manifold is fantastic and I would recommend keeping it if you are not building a drag/road racer.
