So I dynoed an N1 intake manfold and throttle body on an SR20VE today. The VE in question is bone stock with the excepetion of a HS Gen 6 header, Custom CAI and ram air box and a 3" exhaust system. The upper and lower hapfs were match ported and the mainfold was also match ported to the head.
There is actualy little difference between the N1 maifold and the stock VE piece. The N1 has the big throttle body and a bigger plenum but the runner legth is nearly the same.
The manfold made a whopping difference of zero hp and torque. You could nearly overlay the before and after dyno graphs

. So I would say that unless you have cams, don't even bother with this mod.
Next up I test this combo with the addtion of N1 camshafts and adjustable timing gears. I think this might work and the manifold might require more mods to really help. Then I'll change the chip in the JWT ECU to allow a 8000 rpm redline and with the rest of the program optimoized for the N1 cams.
Then I'll test the production SR20turbofreak header against the gen 6, then the custom header he made for me with first the 2.25 venturi then a 2.350 venturi.
I'll be reporting the results in the next few days,
