The Skunk2 Racing Pro Series Mitsubishi Evo VIII-IX Intake Manifold is designed to enhance performance for street-driven Evo owners seeking more horsepower without sacrificing mid-range torque. Developed and tested on Skunk2's own Evo Time Attack race car, this cast-aluminum intake manifold offers a direct-fit replacement that delivers significant gains in both horsepower and torque. Its innovative design features OEM-length runners with larger bores and a tapered shape, combined with a larger, tapered plenum, ensuring optimal airflow and wave scavenging effects across the engine's operating range.
Unlike traditional large-plenum, short-runner manifolds that focus solely on top-end gains, the Skunk2 Pro Series maintains strong mid-range performance while boosting top-end power. Peak gains of over 33 wheel horsepower have been observed when paired with Pro Series Throttle Bodies, with improvements beginning as low as 3,200 RPM. The thicker castings provide ample room for porting, and each runner exit is machined and hand-finished to match the cylinder head’s ports for optimal airflow. This design ensures a broad usable power increase, particularly at higher RPMs.
The intake manifold retains the factory throttle body location, allowing for easy installation and re-use of existing intercooler piping and hoses. It also includes provisions for the brake booster line, MDP sensor, and vacuum accessories, although it does not support EGR. The package features a 70mm throttle body opening, a 1.8L tapered plenum, .0125 inch NPT vacuum inlets, and a dipstick relocator, making it a comprehensive upgrade for serious enthusiasts.
Constructed with durable castings, the Skunk2 Pro Series Intake Manifold is designed for performance and longevity. Its unique geometry and construction promote better airflow, increased wave scavenging, and enhanced combustion efficiency, translating into increased power throughout the rev range. This intake manifold is a valuable upgrade for Mitsubishi Lancer and Eclipse models, providing a straightforward bolt-on solution that maximizes engine potential without extensive modifications.
