EIP inlet/intake manifold... is this a good mod?


Recommended Posts

Hi

EIP apparently do inlet/intake manifold for a n/a golf vr6 and claims gains of up to 10bhp and 10 lbs/ft torque. Not as much torque increase as a Shrick but more than half the price (selling for $500 in the US). Is an EIP inlet manifold a good quality product? Is it worth it and can it be purchased in this country?

Has anyone used or know anyone who has used one of these?

Cheers

Matt

found an article on a guy whos tried the eip and the shrick. Shrick wins hands down... this guy did some serious testing with his shrick as well- even going as far as thermachroming (i think) the inside to cut down on heat soak... mental. by the time you ship it over your looking at 500- 600 quid. MAy as well save the extra and get a shrick...

The EIP is a ported 2.9 manifold. It will improve airflow but does not have the variable tract length facility of the VSR or the Schrick manifolds.

In combination with an enlarged throttle body, I imagine it will improve top end power, but will not boost low down torque like the Schrick does.

It does look nice, though!

I remember the article fourmotion linked. He did exhaustive back-to-back testing of standard v Shrek v EIP and the shrek won by miles....mainly because the Shrek is designed to improve torque and the EIP one is just to improve air flow rate, which will only improve the top end.

As binliner says, EIP's is just a copy of our 2.9 manifold.....they cut up and plate 2.8 mannies and make em pretty...
