deejay Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Stay stock l16 intake or go offenhauser duel port Already have the 32/36 weber carb Any +\or - of the two noticeable power gains Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Gains somewhere are often balanced against losses somewhere else. Nissan engineers did their homework and the stock manifolds are a good compromise of power and economy and something I call drive ability. You've probably noticed that the weber has a slight bog just off isle when you mash it to the floor too fast. This is what you pay for a little more performance when revved up. You might get more go from a manifold change but is it worth the bother? If that good wouldn't everyone have one? Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I lost aboot 10 mph going to the Offy on my L16, but I am a bit quicker off the line. Quote Link to comment
deejay Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Ya I just one sitting on my shelf that needs a new carb stud re taped. Stock works good if it ain't broke don't fix it I tell my self some times, but than again who doesent like moar power. Quote Link to comment
Stupid_fast Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 a proper tuned offy is 'suppose' to get better power and economy, due to the dual-port design for the progressive carb... but I've never seen a dyno sheet. If you have one, why not? It looks cool. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 The plus side of these is they dont need a carb DGV adapter thus is lower and aircleaner will not hit the hood if you have the taller type. Esp on L20 as they are taller. As for HP gain? That might be in ones mind. a stock L16 manifold can be ported out to match the head plus all the hoses are already there to match up.

laotsu Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Should be the opposite. well I am no tuner that's for sure. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Smaller runners mean higher velocity.The high the velocity,the quicker the cylinder fills.This helps low end power,but hurts upper RPM flow do to restricted runners. Quote Link to comment

That's what I'm saying, I feel like I have a lower max mph but I take off quicker. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 That's what I'm saying, I feel like I have a lower max mph but I take off quicker.You posted the opposite initially.But now you are correct.Just depends on what you use the vehicle for. Quote Link to comment
