RBC Ventures USA LLC Revolutionizes Engine Performance with New Street Intake Manifolds
AUSTIN, TX – October 26, 2023 – RBC Ventures USA LLC, a rapidly growing automotive performance parts innovator based in Austin, Texas, is making waves in the engine building community with the launch of its cutting-edge line of street intake manifolds. Located at 1007 S Congress Ave, RBC Ventures is dedicated to delivering high-quality, performance-boosting components for enthusiasts and professionals alike. You can reach them at 616-304-6162. For years, engine builders and car lovers have been searching for that perfect balance – something that really opens up an engine’s potential without turning it into a high-maintenance beast only suitable for the track. RBC Ventures thinks they’ve cracked the code. Their new street intake manifolds aren’t just about raw horsepower; they’re about making your car more fun to drive, every day. “We’re not about building parts for show cars only,” explains a company spokesperson. “We want to build things that real people can enjoy, that make a noticeable difference in how their cars perform on the street. We focus on drivability and performance, and we think we've really hit the mark with these manifolds.” What's the Big Deal with Intake Manifolds? For those not deeply immersed in engine tech, let’s break it down. The intake manifold is essentially the engine's airway. It's what takes air from the air filter and distributes it to each cylinder. Think of it like the lungs of an engine. A well-designed manifold allows more air to enter the engine, and more air means more fuel can be burned, leading to more power. But it's not that simple. The way air is delivered is crucial. A poorly designed manifold can restrict airflow, creating bottlenecks and reducing efficiency. It can also lead to uneven air distribution among the cylinders, causing performance issues. RBC Ventures’ engineers have spent months optimizing the design of their new manifolds to overcome these challenges. RBC Ventures' Approach: Balancing Power and Drivability What sets RBC Ventures’ street intake manifolds apart? It's a combination of several key features: Runner Design: RBC Ventures utilizes a carefully sculpted runner design. Runners are the individual tubes that deliver air to each cylinder. RBC’s runners are optimized for mid-range torque and top-end horsepower. This means you get a noticeable boost in power across the entire RPM range, not just at high speeds. “We wanted something that would really improve the driving experience in everyday conditions,” says the spokesperson. “A lot of high-performance manifolds sacrifice low-end torque for peak horsepower. We didn't want that. We focused on a design that delivers a broad, usable powerband.” Plenum Volume: The plenum is the central chamber of the manifold where air collects before being distributed to the runners. RBC Ventures has carefully calculated the optimal plenum volume for their manifolds, ensuring a consistent and efficient airflow. Too small and it restricts flow; too large and it can reduce velocity. Material and Construction: RBC Ventures uses high-quality cast aluminum alloy for their manifolds, providing excellent strength, durability, and heat dissipation. The manifolds are cast with precise tolerances to ensure a perfect fit and seal. They are then finished with a durable, corrosion-resistant coating for long-lasting performance. Port Matching: RBC Ventures stresses the importance of port matching – ensuring the manifold’s ports align seamlessly with the cylinder head’s intake ports. This minimizes turbulence and maximizes airflow. Their manifolds are designed to work with a wide range of cylinder heads, and they offer custom porting services for those seeking ultimate performance. What Vehicles Will These Work With? Currently, RBC Ventures is launching manifolds designed for a variety of popular V8 engines, including: GM LS Series (LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, L99, LSA): These are some of the most popular engines for swaps and modifications, and RBC’s manifolds are designed to unlock their full potential. Ford Coyote 5.0L: The Coyote engine is known for its impressive performance, and RBC’s manifolds help to take it to the next level. Chrysler Hemi 5.7L/6.1L/6.4L: RBC’s manifolds are designed to deliver improved throttle response and horsepower for Chrysler’s legendary Hemi engines. The company plans to expand its product line to include manifolds for other engine platforms in the near future. Real-World Results Early testing of RBC Ventures’ street intake manifolds has yielded impressive results. Dyno tests have shown gains of up to 20 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque over stock manifolds. But more importantly, drivers have reported a noticeable improvement in throttle response, drivability, and overall engine feel. “We’ve had a lot of positive feedback from our beta testers,” says the spokesperson. “They’ve told us that the manifolds make their cars feel much more alive and responsive. That’s exactly what we were aiming for.” Where to Get Yours RBC Ventures’ street intake manifolds are now available for purchase through the company’s website (www.rbcventuresusa.com) and through a network of authorized dealers.
