Anyone know if this maniforld will be available to us. Chevy claims that it bumps the HP up to 260 ponies, and torque up to 277. http://www.pickuptrucks.net/pickup_truck/Pickup_News/chevyxtreme.html

it should be a crate motor option soon. it's not just a intake manafold

I havent heard any good news about it lately. Sounds like they may get rid of it since there dropping the 4.3 soon.

 

[joe_villa]

i'm sure if there is enough demand, an aftermarket manufacturer might pick up on it soon.

if you think about it, almost every engine that ford, dodge, even the imports are multiport fuel injection. by that, i mean one injector per cylinder. the 4.3 vortec is the only engine left thats got the CSFI, one injector, six poppet nozzles. an aftermarket manufacturer has got to come up with someting.

[joe_villa]

i'd be interested in seeing those pics. i'm curious on how that intake look like.

throttle body

any word on a better throttle body too? in my opinion the intake and throttle body keep our 4.3's from kickin ass like they should!
:evilg: i am curious to see this manifold. i want to know for sure if it is comming out though.

I believe...

you're half right, some aftermarket may produce the intake. I believe the one GM used was a hand fabed prototype and they have no plan to produce it.

The '92-95 CPI has one injector and six poppets but the newer CSFI has a bundle of injectors each with its own poppet. Hence the name "Central Sequential Fuel Injection". The key word is "Sequential", meaning they (six injectors) fire in order whereas in the CPI system the poppets fire at the same time from one injector. That is one reason the CPI fuel pressure must be so high. That gives the CSFI a very slight edge in efficiency and mpg.

 

[joe_villa]

thanks for clarifying that up.

so youre saying we have six injectors? i've always thought that a CSFI is like a CMFI (one injector six nozzles), but the nozzles sprays sequentially. the chilton manual does not really xplain much about the CSFI.

Here is a pic if anyone is interested

 

[MightyMouseJ5]

that is our engine under that? looks like a vette LT1. any more info on someone making it?

 

[96blazer]

That sounds familiar.

Look at this

 

[The Master]

Sweet... i like the looks of thatone. i am not sure that it is an LT1 though.

 

[MightyMouseJ5]

no no, i know that is a 4.3 under there. i was just saying that the intake looks like the intake off of my dads corvette. they look really similar.

 

[joe_villa]

i thought that "ramjet" is an aftermarket name. is it?

 

[96blazer]

i thought that "ramjet" is an aftermarket name. is it?

Its used on some of the crate engines.
