Are you talking about the Intake Manifold or the throttle body. the throttle body is replaced anytime you get a CAI (not WAI). So if you change out to an AEM, HS, Place Racing intake, the throttle body will be replaced.

Now if you are asking about the Intake Manifold, there is nothing out yet. You could always bug Venom to see if they will design one for you, but doubtful.

I was talking about the throttle body but thanks for the info about the intake. That was my next thing. I found a shop do here that will custom make the intake manifold for me so I guess I will let them. Do you know where to get the upgrade for the throttle body?

the throttle body isn't replaced when you get a CAI man.............the throttle body has nothing to do with a CAI.

An upgraded throttle body will do you little to no good if you're not running serious forced induction, huge shots of nitrous, or even massive power n/a. These little 4 bangers are pretty well tuned in those departments from factory, and even if there was an upgrade, it wouldn't get you more than 1hp, if that.

why are you going to get a custom intake manifold? are you going to use direct port nitrous? If you're just trying to get gains from that, there are other factors you need to consider first.................................like the fact that the QG is naturally a lean burning engine...............so the more air it gets, without compensation, the leaner it's gonna burn..............and it could go to a point where it causes damage or something more serious.

Parts

Yeah I guess your right. I'm trying to get my car to 300 hp and it dosen't look like im going to make it. I bought an eletric supercharger and it is just a blower that connect to your intake piping. Help me out a little.

I hope you're not serious?????

that electric supercharger is just a boat fan.........you're not gonna get anything from that.

Check this man, this is God's honest truth:

Horsepower costs money. Lots of money. Buku dollars. I.e. Header....10whp=$400. Intake, 4-5whp=$200. Turbo, 50+hp=$3000+.

As Greg V from Mossy says: "speed is money, how fast do you want to go?"

send back that electric supercharger and use the money towards a new throttle body and intake manifold and get an intake, header, exhaust, and pulley.

look. Forget about the manifold and throttle body. Buy all the bolt ons first and see the power you get from them. Then if you want, have your intake manifold extrude honed.........but if you do that, you need to increase the amount of fuel going into your engine, because the extrue hone will make it run very lean.

Sentra

Yo, I was looking at you car and the turbo kit looks nice. Where did you mount the innercooler? I do not see it mounted in the front?
