Intake Manifold for 2nd gen turbo II

I'm trying to find a custom manifold for my 2nd gen but it's very hard. I'm going to put a fuel injection system and I don't find any aftermarket intake manifold for my application. can anyone direct me in the right direction. thanks in advance.

What year do you have? What are your power goals? The stock manifolds have been proven for over 400 to the wheels, even the 87-88 ones. You may be better off spending your resources on tuning, fuel system, etc.

Mainly, there is no need for an aftermarket manifold. Thus nothing really exists.

If you want to go for something aftermarket you'll need to piece it together yourself.

You can try contacting Hogan's Racing Manifolds at www.hogansracingmanifolds.com. Keep in mind though, these manifolds are made for all out race cars, so they will be uber-expensive. From what I hear though, they do some top notch work.

stay with the stock manifold. are you going standalone? sounds like it cause you mention you wanna put a fuel injection system. or did you not know that your car is fuel injected

1990 rx7 Turbo II

The power number I'm looking for is nothing more than 500hp streetable. I'm going to an electromotive cpu and want to mostly be able to drive it more than race it. I have another race car for that. for sure, under 500HP.

We're making a couple for some cars here, however its very time consuming. Most other turbo engines response very very well to a new intake manifold, so we're hoping its going to make a big difference. Only time will tell..

You can do 500HP on the stock intake manifold.

Yes in that case a new manifold wont really do anything besides make your wallet smaller.

Do you know what differnce between s5 and s5 t2 intake manifolds is? I put them side by side and couldnt figure out if there was any difference.

You mean S4 and S5? They're noticeably different. The S5 runners are longer (making the manifold sit a bit higher) and are larger in diameter. If you put them side-by-side and couldn't see a difference, they were the same series.
