Yes, they need to include ported manifolds in these tests (and show that all are using the same tune). That is one thing VMP are known for...maybe they don't produce the gains they are claiming.

@@3star2nr it's mostly the cams. Sure it'll see gains porting but it'll see alot more gains from cams with a cj the cams are what's holding the power back the most in gen 1 cars when running a good manifold like a cj. A cj and good set of cams can see right near 500 to the tires on a stock gen 1 head on e85 through a manual that isn't shabby at all. A gen 2 might see 515 or so with a similar setup so honestly it isn't THAT much different. There is gains there but if you're choosing one or the other between ported heads or cams cams give you by far the most gain on a cj gen 1. 18 manifold prob works better on a stock cammed car cj for a cammed car. The cams are really holding it back.

very good video. i been thinking of upgrading my 2011 gt the 2018 intake looks like a good option.

For the people that keeps bringing up the boss intake ,it's a great power intake but sucks for torque

Awesome. please do one with a centrifugal... I'm really curious if the blower amplifies the results, or simply negates the downsides of the intakes (like the 4.6s did with a blower). I didn't do OPGs on my car and I figured I'll get a gen2 coyote or a long block for it sometime down the road and would love to set it up from the get go with the right intake... the current gen1 coyote is gonna get transfered to my 205k mile 2004 to replace that tired 4.6 (which is probably struggling to break 200rwhp by now)

Do a ported vs unported 18 manifold

Awesome 👍

That is really surprising !

Nice!!

I’ve got a Cobra Jet on my Gen 1 Coyote and I’m quite happy with it. Going from bone stock to a Cobra Jet intake manifold, VMP tune, FRPP cold air, and GT500 twin 60mm throttle body, I picked up about 5 mph in trap speed. The Cobra Jet is quite expensive, but I think with the 2018 manifold, you’re just paying for the performance. The Cobra Jet looks way better. Although if I’m being honest, I’d probably get a ported 2018 manifold if I was to do it all over again.

I’ve raced a couple ‘18 manifold cars and mine starts to pull away from them in fourth gear, but first, second, and third gear the 18 manifold cars are basically right beside me. I love the Cobra Jet, but it’s way more money than a ported ‘18 and offers only a small difference in real world performance. If at some point you want to do cams as well and do an all out NA build, I’d recommend the Cobra Jet, but as far as just doing some bolt ons, a ported ‘18 manifold is great! I’m at the point now though where I’ve had enough of the NA life, my car will be getting a VMP Gen 2R over the winter,

It is king it doesn't show out as well on a gen 1 because the cams hold it back. The heads do slightly but the cams are the main reason if you also have cams a cj will shine on a gen 1 car you could prob get pretty close to 500 wheel on e85 from a fbo cammed cj gen 1 with stock heads. It starts being able to make power where the cj wants to make power. It's all in the combo. If you don't have cams to take advantage of the cj it isn't gonna perform like it should especially on a gen 1 that has milder cams than gen2. The heads also flow better in gen 2 so both make a difference but the cams make the most difference from what I've seen. I've seem fbo cammed cj gen 1 cars making damn good power it's Def the cams mostly holding it back.

Seems the truck intake would be perfect for a turbo build especially big turbos to light them up sooner and then let the turbos carry you

you make some videos on f150 coyote motor 2011 and do a intake shootout on that. also what would you advise to make good gain on the truck

So if I got the ported 2018 manifold on my 2014 gt I would get similar gains to the cj for 1/4 of the price?

Well that's kind of interesting on the truck intake. Nitrous buggy?

Wonder what the ported 18 GT manifold would have made?

Because they are some of the worst flowing aftermarket exhausts. The outlaws are loud and drone alot they may flow ok but the chambered ones have been proven to not be that great performance wise and most people prefer other exhausts on coyotes sound wise.

What about the boss 302 intake manifold

I put a 18 gt mani on my 18 f150 last night. My brother in-law has a 13 f150 I told him my old mani would make way more torque down low than his and give him a nice boost in power. I'd imagine it would be very similar to this but not losing tq.

ive got a '23 mustang intake, ported by 1320 junkie. trying to figure out the purge valve difference so i can get it put on my gen 1 coyote in a '14 F-150.

Not really a "stock" car with long tube headers ($900-$2000), bigger injectors ($400 ish), and a tune (prolly at least $200). All that alone is probably what increased numbers. Pretty sure the slight loss of tq is felt more than the small gain in hp, honestly stock manifold still seems to be best in N/A form.

Do you need upgraded oil pump gears and crank sprocket if running a cobra jet intake manifold on a gen 1 coyote?

@VMPPerformanceTV

2 жыл бұрын

Hey Anthony, the need for oil pump gears and crank sprocket isn't really associated with modifications as much as it is the type/style of driving you're doing. If this is a stick car that's driven hard and has a chance of hitting the rev limiter frequently, OPG and CS are something you should consider. If it's a basic street car that doesn't see much abuse or 6R80 car that's daily driven, so on and so forth; the OPG and CS aren't as anywhere near as much risk.

I wonder if the truck manifold would pick up ET with a stock converter? Aftermarket converter I see little to no benefit of that manifold on a drag strip. Even with a stock converter after the first shift that torque isn't going to matter much. The question would be will the 60ft time gained over a stock manifold be enough to justify the 15RWHP loss. Track testing would be interesting but I think it would be a waste of time on Chucky which has a converter.

@user-xm1fo3eb5m I did do the testing yes. I got a tune from OZ tuning the omega tune. First off, Oz & vmp were not willing to try different cam angles to vet the manifold data for torque/mpg use not just WOT. I did my own data logging on the Oz omega tune and swapping back and forth between manifolds and found the 18 manifold would possibly make slightly more torque down low, but not as much peak torque. Also the peak hp according to the maf was down over 40hp. This testing was done on a 2014 F150 engine. Also I was planning on running the IMRC on the 18 truck manifold and since the 14 f150 has no control over this engine function, I was going to make a relay for them to close when my cruise was set for potential better mpg. This did not work as the IMRC vacuum pods don't clear the firewall on the gen1 F150. Long and short, stick with the gen1 manifold. If anything I'd recommend the OZ Omega tune as it's a flex tune for any fuel
