Can you quote me and show me where I said they lie??? I never said flow numbers lie.
I know what a cast manifold is. Sorry I had a drunk stupid moment when I wrote that on zilvia. But yeah its way over my head
just like iv never used a flow bench. You cool z28
While I understand you questioning them stating that they received bad materials, to completely post that they are flat out lying, is a bit silly, and naive, to doubt that they could have received some bad product, from the same supplier they always go through, doesnt make sense, its happened in the past, with plenty of company's, sometimes stuff gets through, its impossible for them to test every single piece of tube that comes through, eventually you will run across this if you stay in the custom parts fabrication arena, when this happens you wont be too happy when people are questioning your integrity based on their own guess.
As far as the flow numbers, thats only a small fraction of my reasoning for my engine choice, i've been doing swaps since 2000, you definetly wont find me jumping into doing a swap because its "different" or "cool" or any other trivial reasoning, the fact is my swap will turn out better than almost every SR swap around here even though my engine never even came in the chassis its now in, my harness wont have any spliced connections, the alternator puts out more than enough power for the car, and extra add ons, the transmission is more than capable of handling the power I intend to put down without trouble, clutch is bigger for increased capability there, I wont be worrying about my exhaust burning up my brake fluid, there are just a few of the main reasons I chose the engine i'm using, but that definetly doesnt cover all of them. Oh and the ability to get parts to replace things locally without any silly begging for someone to have a used one "asap" or trying to guess which parts from what other USDM cars fit.
Oh to add to that part, you used the evo turbo on your car because you had it laying around, making it a "price" issue, i'll have about the same in my drivetrain as a properly done SR swap, certainly between that and the other long list of benefits you can see the choice isnt exactly a hard one to make.
As far as quoting you on flow numbers lying, you are still trying to act like the 1UZ is a better engine, based on B18hondaboys incorrect statement about the heads on them flowing something amazing, when in fact they arent even on par with my "truck" heads.
