Thread: Lowport o2 induction manifolds...

I went to the o2 Induction website, and didn't see any manifolds for the lowport. I remember someone telling me that the highport manifold will not work with the lowport head. Is this fact?

Secondly, if it's true, then who makes a lowport manifold similar to the o2 Induction manifold? I'm debating whether I want to go this route, or not, but I just may pick one up.

Also, in regards to the lowport manifold: Getting rid of the IACV/AAC portions... Possible? What would be required, in order to "ignore" these components? If there's no way, then I suppose there's nothing that can be done, but to have the equipment attached somehow, to the manifold?

Thanks in advance.

They did make lowport manifolds. It's the same as the VE one only it uses the DE flange. As for the IACV/AAC ****, it is remote mounted on a plate. You have to specify this when he builds you one.

Yes it's what he said. And I didn't go back to the website but the last time I remember they had picture for the Lowport 02Manifold.

Thanks, and BTW where the PHUCK have you been? No one told you that you could go on holiday vacation! Who do you think you are, anyway?!



Yeah, just looked and no pics of the lowport. Just the highport and VE.

Thanks again for the responses. I guess I'll see how things go over here, and determine if I should consider getting an o2 induction mani or not.

So the easiest way to solve the IACV crap, is to just have them mount it on a plate? Not to just remove it all together? I would have thought that there'd be a way to remove the IACV and sh1t all together, and clean up the bay in the process.

I don't think you can eliminate the IAVC. And it's not up to you about getting it to be remotely mounted, it comes that way..

I say the 02manifold is a GREAT upgrade when it comes to HP to $ Ratio but that all depends on what you setup you have.. N/A Vs Turbo. Both will give a whole different result.
People claim to loose Bottom end being that the runners are larger and allow more air to flow with make the car loose TQ..
But a Great upgrade either way.

You can just not plug in the IACV stuff if you want. I personally like not having to help my car idle in the morning.

Well the reason why I'm considering o2 induction manifolds, is because I'm going with a GT30 series turbine, and figured that I may as well do the intake side of the house, as well.

IDK, I really don't want to get the maximum amount of power out of the 3076R, TBH. I'd like to keep it VERY streetable, and be able to up the boost on the fly and roast weenies, when the urge hits me.

I was once told by a very respected member of our community not to bother with the lowport o2 induction manifold because the lowport will never benefit from it like the highport does. Just something to think about.

And that's EXACTLY what I like to hear Thanks Will!

Well, with that being said, I guess what I can do, is have the IM sent off for polishing/powdercoating, if I want to at least make it LOOK pretty.

Hum, now i'm thinking about it? Why will one benefit and not the other? From what I know the only difference from the High and low port is the Intake cam.
So please school me.
