Absolute Apex Manifold only

[SleeperDuty]

Hey guys,

Here in the next week, I will be doing a before and after with the Absolute Performance Apex manifold. The manifold will be the only difference made on the truck. As I told Steve I will record videos of 4x4 non and boosted launches before and after. Hopefully this will show how much a difference ported manifolds make by themselves.

That is perfect! About time someone does this without changing anything else

Will be nice to see the results. Been eyeing one for awhile

 

[Csilva187]

Awesome. Will keep tabs on this. Good luck!

in the after video to try and keep it apples to apple I'll leave at the same rpm again.

That doesn't look too shabby!

Update-I will be out of town this weekend hunting...it's a rather secluded area but about 5 miles from camp is a nice and long road that see minimal and I mean minimal traffic as I want to do this in as safe a way possible

Also since doing the boosted in cab launch...I will not be doing another one, as I think it wouldn't serve any purpose that's my opinion. I will record a video of the truck outside the cab doing a non boosted launch and running it to about 50-60mph as I think that's were will see any gains made.

A dyno, or 1/4 mile would really be needed for this.

 

[sootie]

make sure you have a monitor in the video that we can see showing boost, egt, ebp at least

A dyno, or 1/4 mile would really be needed for this.

That would be most Ideal honestly but I'm make due with what I can.

I'll take an video of my sct touch screen. I can get boost and a few other things but I'll see what I can do.

 

[Jeremy @ No Limit]

If someone wants to send us a manifold we can get some dyno numbers!

 

[SleeperDuty]

I'm going to dyno it instead, I'm curious!

Anyone know where I can find one around Houston or within an hour or so that will do diesel's?

 

[Twan]

What all do you have done to your truck?

 

[SleeperDuty]

It's pretty similar to what you have.

SCT Gearhead custom tunes, II 175cc injectors, headstuds, banks exhaust, S&b intake, II vgt turbo, Sinsiter diesel Reg return that about it and a upgraded TQ converter.

took some videos during my lunch break yesterday.

here is an in cab 60-85mph went from half throttle rolling to around 3/4 throttle and a side mirror video

Non boosted launch in cab watching the side view mirror. It was full throttle launch initially but when I heard the tires spin I lifted at bit this was in 2wd.

I think, I found a dyno to run on. I'm either going to run it at Relentless diesel or Truck source if they can do the runs and have the manifold installed in a day.

Why anyone would question the benefit of a ported manifold I just don't understand. It just works, works better with minor mods, works awesome with bigger mods.

The motor is nothing more than an air pump. Get air in, get air out smoothly and efficiently the gains will show themselves.

 

[Jeremy @ No Limit]

I don't think he is questioning it. Believe the OP just wants to gather some data

 

[HeavyAssault]

Then we can pick apart the dyno that was used, the track conditions, the driver reaction times....blah, blah, blah.....
