need pics of ETA vs i intake manifolds

[Slick92GS-R]

hearing of an 'improvement' anyone has pics that SHOW the port size difference-- the design is the same so i figure it must be the port size, right ?

thanks, thats a perfect example .. at least if i'm understanding the red being ETA and the black would be the excess that is removed on an I motor ..?
head ports follow suit i expect ..?

Just buy an "I" intake manifold, saves you the hassle.

Where in Homestead are you at?

The design is not the same. Enlarging the ports on your eta manifold will do next to nothing for you.

Put them next to each other and step back a bit. The runners are different lengths and shapes.

...lol.. i don't wanna be rude--but can i call u a silly willy !!!! i don't have an 'I' manifold available . i was using pics of people's motors as a reference ... that why i'm asking for pics of the manioflds themselves ..... lol .... thanks for your contribution though ---

E motors have longer intake runners. don't argue if you don't know what you're talking about.. it would be much easier and far cheaper to just buy an i intake and bolt it to your E head anyway.

i don't see anyone arguing here, buddy ... as u see, i'm asking for help... pointing that sorta stuff out is appreciated ..

The red portion is a scan of a stock i gasket.

the the red and black together would make up the eta gasket.

It was my understanding that an I head on an eta block lowers compression and thus power?

So unless its for a turbo application wouldnt it be pointless.

thanks for all the replies.. seems thats there is quite a difference .. now that i know .. yes.. it is much easier to jus bolt an 'i' manifold on.. 8)
