So I have been in the market for a intake manifold on my turbo S in the 700+ hp range. I have done ALOT of research on all the intakes currently on the market and it seems as if the only ones that make great power are VERY expensive IE the kinsler and bmc($2500) Now having alot of friends in the K series game they almost all run the skunk2 race series with adjustable plentum with amazing results, so I would expect similar results from the s2000 spec one. I called skunk2 about a month ago and they couldnt give me any information. I was wondering if anyone has heard any news on this product and what you all think. I really like how you can get custom spacers to make it fit your needs. For me the short 6-7" runners and large 5.5 liter plentum will be perfect for carrying power up to 11,000rpm and 1000hp just like the kinsler. According to S2 the intake should already be released.. :-(

I too have been lookin at this product very hard. I had a magnus laying around, so I decided to work with what I already paid for lol

I'm not in your power range but I was trying to wait for this manifold to come out, I ended up buying a full blown intake manifold and love it. The thing that sold me the most is that is has idle air control ports and throttle body placement is near stock.

I'd ask kings performance about theirs. That one is proven performance.

Humm whats the deal with their intake? I know inlinepro discontinued their manifold. Which it was a very fair price and the fastest s2k in north america(red star motoring) was running it for a while. Dont know if they still do. I love the looks of the magnus but I just havnt heard great things about them making power. I would love it if someone took a 500hp s2000 on stock intake and did a same day comparison with all of the like 10 intake manifolds out there so its not so much speculation! The fullblown piece is nice for the price but im not crazy about the fact its cast. (just personal preference to have it sheetmetal for the plentium)

does anyone have a contact with skunk2???

staylor725

You know the skunk2 is also cast right and they say cast is stronger than sheet metal manifolds.

I'd say go Fullblown if you can't wait, and need the IAC ports...the skunk one i saw proto pics of looked like DBW, but they will prob have both I'm assuming...

I personally think that once the Skunk is out, the whole 'the stock intake is best' thing will nolonger be spoken...plus you can port it easy.

i jsut saw your sig, i wouldnt change the IM when you make 500whp. just raise boost!

That was my old setup. I guess I should update my signature lol. I am now on a darton sleeved 11.6:1 fully fully built motor and borg warner s367 with dual 044 feeds on a e98/e85 flex fuel system. Just trying to break outside the box. I know I can make wild power retaining alot of stock parts but I want to do something different. So this spring I will be doing some back to back comparisons on my car. It should baseline 700 on e98. Then I will be adding a 4piston pro-s2k ported head and doing a retune, then web cams, and then an intake manifold. So we will have some real data out there about what kind of gains these parts offer.
