ISIS SR Intake Manifold

Just saw this new Manifold @ Enjuku ISIS Intake Manifold - Nissan SR20DET S13 - Enjuku Racing Parts, LLC

Anyone heard of this brand? Looks just like the Greddy Manifold but way affordable.

I was wondering if anyone had an experiance with this manifold yet?

I would definatly buy it if its good quality.

It does look like a greddy knock off. probably better than the ebay specials..and it's polished! bling bling! that will probably be it selling point. If it bolts up nicely i'd buy it.

Definitely looks like a GReddy knock off.

Can see the depression on the manifold where the GReddy plaque should stick to if it was a genuine unit.

DON'T BUY KNOCK OFFS.

It's people like these that put reputable companies such as GReddy into bankruptcy.

Don't buy knocks offs!

I have nothing against Enjuku and their site, just the bloody knocks off companies!

Not all of us can afford the "REAL" deal.

That is where you are wrong. Casting is different. More porous more turbulence. Just touching the inside you can tell. You should be making more power on the real greddy unit.



p.s. I don't know anything car related that you're only paying for the name on more expensive products.

I don't even think you can get the stock intake manifold for 200 bucks. If anything I would just stick with OEM, the greddy one is bling anyway and causes you to lose bottom end power if you're not making more than 400hp.

Try headwork first and portmatching the intake manifold to match your head and smoothing the runners a bit before going the extreme route and replacing your intake manifold.

anyone who is interested in making real power and having real durability is willing to shell out the money for name brand parts.

If you can't buy the real deal, then don't buy at all. There are way to many cheapasses out there wasting there money on knock off parts, that you probably don't even NEED anyways. 90% of the time you end up spending more to make up for the shortcomings of a knock-off part anyways.

And your not always paying for the name. Do you have any ideas how much it actually costs to design and manufacture a brand new part?

Seriously if your that poor, stop wasting your money on car parts and put it to better use.

The simple fact is that you can afford anything. Whether or not you have the discipline to set money aside for legit product is up to you.
Unless you compete, you probably could get along fine with a knockoff. If you do compete in drift or time attack, you usually are more critical of the parts you run.

Well, the thing is, you do realize that by supporting the knock offs, your slowly strangling the companies that originally made the parts? Eventually the outcome will be that these companies will go out of business and itll dry up the parts available for our cars. Itll be fucking 1999 all over again...

Noobs honestly cant comprehend how it was before 2002 car parts wise for a S-chassis. Parts were damn near impossible to find...

Knocks off are for bitches. If you cant tell the difference in performance from a knock off to the real thing then you shouldnt even talkin your just making yourself look like a dumb ass. Have some pride in what you build! if you cant afford the real parts "its called save your money"

I Agree 100%. Thus why i don't find it "Bad" to get a knockoff part. It's not like my whole car is put together with knock offs.
And i do know how hard it was to get parts...

NO!!! Its bad choice of investments, and unreliable management, coupled with more poor decisions, and bad financial management, which help companies go into bankruptcy. p

speaking of which, when is the greddy bankruptcy liquidation sale?

What's the bottom line?! Knock offs don't help. Greddy makes legit products with their own R&D.

And yeah, they're still in business, but did you notice everything went up like $500?
