89-91 intake manifold
i put a 89+ intake manifold and i don't have the vdi working yet and would that make the car any slower than if i had my inatake manifold 86-88 on and i have the 6 ports working

I bought an 89 manifold once and was going to put it on my 88 GTU, and after looking at the logistics, and the minimal hp increase, it is just not worth it at all. Keep in mind the 89 has 14 more hp because of a SYSTEM of things.

You could wire it to the high RPM position until you get it working properly.You might lose alittle low end but it would be stronger on top.I keep mine set to high RPM all the time and it doesn't seem to be a problem.

A fellow RX-7 owner had converted his 86' with an 89' intake. He wired his VDI via rpm switch. Initially, he felt the surge of power when the VDI opened up. Upon dynoing his car, he found that he actually lost 10hp and It wasn't until 7000rpm he had gained 8-9hp! He nolonger advocates It. He also has stated that, to his knowledge, many other RX-7 owners are dissapointed in this mod. Anybody have anything to add to this?

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
IF youre not gonna use the s5 operating sytsem(vacuum rail and solenoids) to operate the intake as it was meant to be, then yes, you shoudl put your old one back on...it responds better to being rigged and/or modifications such as internal porting than the s5 one does.
Like I said, the s5 works great in or near stock perameters, but once you get away from that, or go wiring stuff open, it loses a LOT.
