History
If you’ve been around long enough, you remember when Magnus brought affordable 4 cylinder intake manifolds to the mass market. That was 17 years ago. From their humble beginnings of hacking up and reworking stock manifolds, to their signature tapered plenum sheet metal offerings, theirr designs continue to be improved and refined. Since their first designs, they have constantly pushed the envelope of 4 cylinder engine technology, particularly intake manifold design, to performance levels we never dreamed would be possible when they first started down this road. The latest generation sheet metal Magnus intake manifold is on its 8th revision, and each change performed better than the previous version. How did they do it? Through constant research, advanced airflow studies, reinvestment in new technologies, and most of all, through racing. They race what they sell, they sell what they race – and their stuff WINS. They don’t just videotape their test runs, they compete at the highest levels of motorsports where “second best” isn’t good enough to take home the win.
Improving ‘The Original’
Magnus broke new ground with their revolutionary cast EVO V5 manifold. Casting allows subtle changes to the interior profile of the manifold nearly impossible to duplicate with a welded-up manifold – subtle changes that make huge differences to the way the air flows through the manifold. The Magnus EVO V5 rewrote the rules for making big power on the EVO platform.
No sooner did they release the EVO V5 than customers started demanding a version for 1G DSMs. They listened. They took what they learned from the development of the EVO V5 and applied those lessons to the 1G DSM. The results will astound you.
The Goals
The genesis of this project was as a design exercise to extract even more power from the world’s most powerful Mitsubishi Eclipse. Magnus is proud to be the engine builder for Brent Rau’s Eclipse, which has been smashing records since 2006 as the first 6 second, 4 cylinder door slammer. Brent’s Magnus powered machine develops an estimated 1500hp depending on which configuration he is running, and it is has proven time and time again to be the fastest 4 cylinder drag motor in the world. Maxing out the turbocharger at 96psi – that’s not a typo, that’s ninety-six PSI of boost, they decided to see if there was any way to make more power through an intake manifold redesign.
Research + Development
Using the EVO V5 intake manifold as a starting point, they used advanced airflow design technology to match the intake manifold to the 1G DSM head. The 1G cylinder head has unusually large intake ports, originally designed to support a variable runner length inlet manifold design used for a short time in the early 1990s. Conventional wisdom holds that these ports are too big, yet numerous tests and comparisons through their research have proved quite the opposite if you are trying to make big power. The large ports are well suited to the flow requirements of the increased mass and density of the air charge needed to achieve in excess of 1000 horsepower. High horsepower cars require a large volume of fuel (especially in alcohol applications) and the oversize ports in the 1G allow superior inertial supercharging effects. The increased popularity of alcohol in the last few years constantly steered uthemin the direction of the fat 1G ports. If you want to build the world’s baddest 4G63 motor, all the numbers and the evidence gained through years of racing points in the direction of the 1G head.
With that being the case, the intake manifold needs to be optimized to feed these flow-hungry ports. Using advanced computer modeling techniques and after 7 iterations, they finally achieved the design they were looking for. From 20 PSI to 100 PSI. and from 40 lbs of airflow to 160lbs of airflow, the new 1G V3 cast manifold has equal flow distribution within 1 percent in each cylinder. That’s something none of the competition can even approach. In addition to unmatched flow distribution, the 1G V3 manifold offers reduced restriction and increased flow compared to all their previous designs.
