Does the 2.3ho manifold fit the eco? Or are there any aluminum saab or saturn intake manifolds that will bolt up or work with slight modification?

hmmm curious about the saab idea because they are a more performance car from the factory, but those are made with boost in mind too, so n/a might not work as good.
yes there is a saab intake mani that will work but as said it is for boost so it may be different
The one, the only, ME.
Has anyone tried it? What Saab did it come from? Sorry for all the questions but I saw one like this:
This engine is making 700 hp though, and it's in the UK... I don't plan on 700 HP, but i do plan to boost sometime.
Here's the link of that car... It's pretty F*n sick! I'd like to drive it.

/\ /\ /\ Thats not an ECOTEC engine dude. Its layed out backwards.
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
if i remember this right, on this forum someone posted about this and said that the alum IM from the 2.0 ecotec saab got heat soaked rather easily
All metal gets heat soaked but unless you dedicating the car for the race track you'll never see a difference on the street. But the Sabb intake is ment to be used with boost
so in an n/a application it wont do very good.

hmm it gets heat soaked easily huh? i wonder why they put it on a production vehicle.
(carlos mencia says) dee dee dee
i have the saab manifold and after the down talking about it im not sharing the results. Unless its the select few who didnt bad mouth it.
Have you installed it? I am still verty intrested in it, I don't see how it could be "made" for boost. and aluminum would would be just a susseptible to heat soak as plastic. Besides, if I did this I would had powdercoated or ceramic coated before the install.

i am also very interested in this, if it gains it gains, dosent really matter what it was designed for at that point.
that intake almost looks like the 2200 stock intake.
