Porting and adding NW102mm TB to Typhoon Intake
Porting and adding NW102mm TB to Typhoon Intake Thought we'd pass these pics along. A customer requested that we port their Typhoon manifold and open up the plenum opening to 102mm to match their Nick Williams 102mm throttle body.

This manifold was done at the customer's request. I don't think they ran before/after dyno test on just the manifold. So, I don't have anything I can pass along on the results.
Cost is $400 for porting which includes return shipping in Continental US. We sell the Nick Williams 102mm throttle bodies for $375 (cable drive) or $595 (drive by wire).

I still don't understand spending the money there when you can sell that, use the money you WERE going to spend on the porting, and get a FAST 92/102.
Has nothing to do with you, peakspeed. You do good work. I'm just talking about THAT manifold in particular.

Was there enough gasket area after you opened up the intake to match the 102? I took my Typhoon 96 to my machine shop to see about opening it up and they advised me that the gasket area for the TB would be very small if we were to punch it out. Do you have any pics of the runner from the inside of manifold? I am in the process of polishing up my intake and would love to see how you went about cleaning up the inside ports..

Well over 1k invested in that intake setup that I'm sure is still inferior to a proper fast setup.

Verdad Gallardo I am not saying the Typhoon is better or worse then a fast just that its cheaper. I am sure a fast 102 is a better flowing intake but I want to try this intake 1st and if I get what I hope to get power wise I think its a good investment of 320.00. If not it will be off and I will bite the bullet and drop 600.00 more dollars and get a Fast 102.
I will have dyno numbers in a week or so once I get tuned and hopefully will shed some more light on these typhoon style intakes. Old Dyno numbers were 448/445 with LS6, Ported/Polished Stock TB, SLP maf, SLP bellow, and SLP lid.
Now I have a 96mm Typhoon, 102 Nick Williams, and a 98 mm lid though the SLP maf and SLP Bellow.
So far I love the way the intake looks on the car. I also love the sound the intake makes now. I love that this intake is not as wide as the LS6 so its very easy to get your hands around it to the back and to all the injectors and what not. I am very satisfied with my Typhoon so far but that can change once we get on the Dyno.
Yes, over 1k. Unless you're running your new intake without a throttle body. Notice I said.. "intake setup"
Now, of course you can have it all bought used for less, but you can buy the fast setup used as well for the same depreciation percentage.

I spent 320 for intake, 350 for TB ( NW 102), and 150 for fuel rail.. 820.00 new for an entire setup I have or 745.00 new for a Satin finished intake setup.
Most of the Fast setups are 1200-1500 brand new.
add 400 to both of them for porting I presume.
1220 for a ported Typhoon setup or 1900.00 for a ported Fast setup.
Now knock 75.00 off the typhoon I bought if you dont want the polished shiny version like I have..
You can get a used 102 setup for around 1200.00 but its used with God knows how many miles. I am not going to risk 1200.00 on a used intake that could have cracks in it due to tightening or have fixes in the plastic. You might get lucky and get a perfect intake but there is a big risk on if there is any damage done to it. Most of the used fast intakes I see F/S on ebay most have damage or have been fixed with epoxy or what not.
Please dont feel I am defending one or the other. I went with a Typhoon because I like the way it looks and I am married with kids and didnt want to drop a crap ton on a Fast setup. For the past 2 months I have been going over these numbers on a daily basis. I will be the 1st to bash it if it doesnt perform the way I hope it does but until then I am glad I went with the Typhoon intake.

My point was just saying that the ported Typhoon will have over 1k invested, and more than likely not perform anywhere near the fast.
I changed the intake, TB, and lid on my setup but the maf, and bellows are still the same as it was with my LS6 setup.That is it. I also purchased some truck coils that I will swap over on the dyno as well to see if they gain anything. I will be using the same dyno, in the same weather conditions with the same tuner that tuned the car before.
The guy I bought my 383 from dynoed 480rwhp with the same cam I have in it. The difference was he had Patriot 5.3's and a fast 102 with Texas speed 1 7/8 headers. Dont know what exhaust but probably not a SLP dual Dual like I have. My car made 448 rwhp with a LS6 intake setup, LS6 heads that have some combustion chamber work done but the runners havent been touched, BBK headers and 2.5 y-pipe, and a 3 inch cutout.
