Bailey. Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 At what power level is the standard inlet manifold and throttle bodie deemed to be restrictive to a single setup??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej705 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 i think its pretty high tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Maybe around 600hp before you'd start considering one, but there's higher powered cars around running the stock one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMPEROR Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Depends if you are talking about EU hp or US hp But yeah, generally what j_jza80 said... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 You can push a lot (certainly a lot more than 600 bhp) with the stock intake. The only reason I'm going for an aftermarked is that I want to take the most out of my current turbo setup .. with the stock intake, I would probably have to go for a bigger turbo for the power I'm after.

dude Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I believe there are plenty of 9 sec cars in the states on a stock inlet still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 As dude says, there are plenty of big power cars running stock intake, there is gains to be had at all levels of power though imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like JP says you will gain more power by fitting one but IMO it should be done lower down the list, ie after you have a top turbo and fuel system.

Jamesy Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I always thought an aftermarket plenum is like fitting cams without losing spool time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
