Marco, how about some dynographs, so we know the manifold isn't just cosmetic?

FJF, I have been told I am no longer allowed to post in this thread about the intake manifold, We have plenty of dyno sheets and will be putting them up on our site shortly.

PM? Bah. I'll swing by at some point and you can see it in person.

And please don't undermine our research by suggesting such things.


More pics to follow!

Thanks
LOL coming from you and talking about misinformation, I have to laugh.

But carry on...

Oh, if the average guy has taken several courses in numerical approaches to solving science problems in fluids, thermodynamics, and structures, along with probably 100GB of data from my own personal interest projects in CFD work, then I guess you're right. I mean, you know, I've only had formal training in the topic, I can't know anything about it compared to a self-proclaimed engineer like yourself...

Dude, who are you? You don't want to play nice do you? I'm sure your mom is very proud of your formal training, but does your mom know you like to get behind your keyboard in her basement and cause trouble on the internetZ?

Do you have a name? or a turbo to port somewhere? I'm gonna call you Bill Nye the science guy. You better get to home depot cause I heard there was a sale on Leaf blowers. When you get out of school, and you've developed cold fusion with a paper clip, a coffee maker, and some home depot couplings, come see me, I'll offer you a job sweeping floors. Until then, I don't think anyone wants to hear about how SMRT you are.

BTW thatt 100GB in CFD modelling? Did it come in 1/2 hp or 1hp model? Briggs and Straton engine? those are phenomenal? Pull start or electric start?

Well I just took a moment to review some of your 47 posts on this board and it seems like half of them are slamming someone, whining or plugging a product when your not a vendor.

Does'nt seem like you make an attempt to be the most productive member of this community.

Take a look at every thread you just read a post from. You will notice that Marco has more lied told about him and more people talking **** to him then anyone on here. And he still handles it better then 95% of the people who get it a fraction of the **** that he gets.

4g63's would not be where they were with out people like Marco. Most of these people that are going around trying to discredit him have never even put a 4g63 car together let alone advance the 4g63 market.

I think your problem is your formal training. The computer is great as a first step in engineering. However practical experience (like what Marco has) is what really matters. Parts that work are more important than parts that look like they work.

Why don't you enlighten us on not only how much power your car makes but what kind of times it pulls in the real world on a real track. Furthermore your material selection on your 4" exhaust tells me everything I need to know about your thermodynamic knowledge, or lacktheirof.

meh, not even worth responding to.

Honestly, would Marco have TONS of people saying don't trust him if they didn't have reason to say it?

I'm speaking from experience when I say I will NEVER do business with Magnus AGAIN and neither will any friend I have that has done business with him in the past.

If your so smart then why don't you show the boy who the boss is and make a better manifold? Until then your just a college kid in a computer lab with modeling software hiding behind a screen name on the internet.

Being an engineer does not mean ****...

You don't see foot and ankle doctors claiming to be experts on heart surgery. If you think you are so great why don't you go build a manifold and once you run a 9 second 1/4 mile you can come back and talk. But as of now you have not done anything besides sit in a class room and try to soil the name of a good person.

99% of the people who bash Marco are morons who have done nothing but listen to that other 1% who have personal issues with Marco (please dont come on here and claim that you do not, we all know you do, me and you have been over this and this thread is not about you) Talking **** on the Internet does not gain you respect, results do, so go back to class.
