Holden Intake Manifold Opportunity

[97rs4life]

Hey guys, here is your chance to get a much better intake manifold for our cars. SWAN racing is going to be placing an order with the aussies and get us some manifolds. If you want in let SWAN racing know and you have to pay up front.

I paid for my set and we are waiting for two other people to step up. These manifolds have longer runners and should net some nice torque and power gains. Looks like you will have to modify the top a bit to fit under the wiper arms, but it can be made to work. The sensors all have the same type of hookups as our cars. The stock fbody tb will need an adapter to fit on it, you could also fab it up to mate up to a ls1 tb and maf sensor.

So be one of four total in the USA that will have these intakes on their cars.

So the lower is $250.00 and the upper is $150.00, making the combo $400.00 plus shipping from SWAN (ohio) to you. They did say that they'd include the OEM style O-rings on a combo order.

Payment can be in the form of cashiers check, Money order, personal check or PayPal if you pick up their 3%.

Message ProStreet1 for payment info or more details. :)

Re: Holden Intake Manifold Opportunity

Edited,Sorry ,I just read the rest of it, what type of spacer would be need for the TB, and what diameter is the opening for TB on the manifold? Also would I need to modify the TB cable to make it work? Is the lower intake gasket the same and would they send the upper intake gasket?

Re: Holden Intake Manifold Opportunity

I am curious would this be compatable with the 99-02 Drive by Wire throttle body or do you think it would be to much of a hassle to fab up stuff to make it work. Looking at the pictures it seems to me that i would be a big pain in the a** to come up with a part to connect the two toghether. Just me pondering ways to spend money on go fast parts... :naughty:

Go look over at fullthrottlev6 Grimm is making a transfer plate for the newer TB's

Re: Holden Intake Manifold Opportunity

I'm not complaining about them getting the lower and upper intakes I think it is great and looks cool, but can they get the lower intake and the holden supercharger where the inlet wraps around to the drivers side? That would be sweet. Or do they have part #'s for them?

Re: Holden Intake Manifold Opportunity

I was reading your reply and i just realized, gotchocmilk39, you live where i was born, sorry i know off topic... :(

Re: Holden Intake Manifold Opportunity

is that supposed to fit under our hood and dash?!

it will fit under the hood, looks like it might bump into the windshield wiper motor though so some changing near there would be needed.

As for the tb, either the cable or wire units will work, they would just need an adapter plate to mate up to the intake.

Lower intake gasket is the same, they are sending the upper gasket with the units since that is unavailable in the US. You could make your own however later on, it is just a metal gasket.

that looks like hooking the TB up would be a pain in the ***

then just have an aussie person send ya their stock tb if you guys are that lazy to make other things work. You can probably get a tb from someone down under for 35 bucks plus shipping.

Re: Holden Intake Manifold Opportunity

there are so many more benefits from having this intake manifold than you guys realize. I suggest researching this topic on ftv6 to find out what I'm tlaking about. You'll realize how great of a deal this really is

Re: Holden Intake Manifold Opportunity

what kind of numbers does it make? And it does look like it will be a tight fit under the cowl...



BTW the rwd L67 over there you need the GTP style heads.

Re: Holden Intake Manifold Opportunity

this intake I feel is gonna give us a nice boost in power that we have been missing for years with our current intake design. Just a matter of trying it out and seeing what it does. We have no numbers because this is the first time they have been able to get them shipped over here. Grimm on ftv6 has a set right now in his hands and I have paid for mine and waiting for the order to go through SWAN for it and I will be the second person to try it out on our cars, or the first if I beat Grimm to getting it installed in the spring :) I gotta wait till the snow melts though to try it out so he has that advantage over me.

But there is still a chance to get in on this rare opportunity. You can be one of the first 4 people to have it on your car in the US. That in itself is awesome ;)

Oh yea and look at those runners and then think what we can now do with direct port nitrous. :) Oh yea, plenty of room to tap and then it is hold on time.

Re: Holden Intake Manifold Opportunity

IT reminds me of the box intake on 5.0s...


obviously don't know the numbers on a f-body... but what is it doing on the n/a 3.8L model its coming off of?


Jsut because its a better design doesn't mean its worth it? Example... tubular manifolds vs. headers. The headers are better but.... only net like 3-5 hp more.
