Umm, well you see it does this...trick. And it's umm, well, better because of it! ;)

I'm not sure what your question really is. Is there a site or pic that we can reference?

:confused: Do you mean taking a stock intake and modifying it by cutting a bigger hole in the bottom? :confused:

I wonder if he will ever repost.....I was curious to what he was talking about! :alien: :bloated: :licker: :smoka: :flash:

sorry to keep you guys in suspense!:D

i would post a link, but i couldnt really find any info at all about it. the closest thing i found was a trick intake manifold for muscle cars, which didnt help me much but maybe u guys can figure it out?? www.trickflow.com

i heard that the gti-r has it?? i learned about this term on the sr20deforum, heres the link, it should be the second post if it even works, if not ill copy paste it next time. http://www.sr20deforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=13973

and of course i would post, haha im a regular here, i dunt post much cuz i just read and ask question i dunno about (what a newbie should do :D )

well hope u guys can help me! thanks

Trick is just a slang term for modified or special in some way when talking about car parts. It doesn't mean anything in particular.

is this not gas flowing, polishing and porting the head???? fitting new valve seat etc.etc?

It's only on the GTI-R because it was Nissan's homologation special for the World Rally Championship. I don't think it will fit other SR20 variants because it has differently shaped ports.

What T4 said. :D Also people generally don't refer to the GTi-R manifold as being 'trick'. There was a pretty nice race only manifold that was built, can't remember the link. That would be considered trick.

George you know what I'm talking about. Would you happen to have a link?

Yeah I remember that, I think it was an Australian company

Found it, here it is http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21402&highlight=intake

so what dyou think if i install the GTiR intake manifold on my turbo conversion?? good idea?? it shouldnt be too hard to track down a used one.

I learn somthing new everyday! THanks guys!:alien: :bloated: :licker: :smoka: :flash:

Nope not that one. The one I'm thinking of was made in the US. It was a replacement for the single throttle body manifold, had a plenum and everything.

P11GT, the GTi-R intake manifold won't work unless you get a GTi-R block to go with it. You could modify one I guess but noones done it yet. :rolleyes:

so the manifold on a GTi-R are like individual throttle bodies it seems like?? if so, wow that car must get crappy gas mileage!! :D
