Skunk2 Intake Manifold Question...

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

I drive a 99' civic Si. The motor is B16a2. I have a Skunk2 intake manifold(ported to 68mm) and a skunk2 68mm throttle body and i was wondering if i should go ahead and put those on or Would i lose power? Should i wait till i get my skunk2 stage 1 cams and valvetrain? Let me know what you guys think?

[scttydb411]

i would suggest doing it all at the same time and then tuning it. if you don't have a chipped ecu that's tunable then i'd get that at the same time.

pm me if you have any questions.

:cheers: I think you should take that Civic and go get the oil changed at your buddy's house by the grocery store! Call me punk!:idb:

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

LMAO! Cory, i'll hit you up tomorrow. You so crazy!

[patrick4588]

you will most likely lose a few hp with that big of a tb and inlet, on a basically stock si.

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

Thanks man, well i will just wait until i get those cams and valvetrain.

don't waste your time or money with stage 1 cams you might make 155whp, not enough of a jump to warrent the expence. Go stage 2 and a good header and EMS

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

I already have a 4-2-1 dc sports header. I'm getting the skunk2 stage 1 because im going turbo in the next year or so. I may get the 00-01 ITR cams i heard they are good for boost also. I dont know yet.

[jbhondatech]

be careful boosting stock b16 internals they will not hold much

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

Im gonna toss the b16a2 block and get a gsr block. Send off the B18c1 block to golden eagle to resleeve it to 84mm. Then throw in some cp pistons and eagle rods. I got it all planned.:goodjob:

[jbhondatech]

good man GE does excellent work, they did a S2000 bottem end for my shop and it held over 25lbs without a problem

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

Badass! Im probably gonna gonna run a garrett gt2871r or gt2860rs. Im not sure on that either. lol.

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

Hell yeah dude, im pretty psyched. That sh!ts gonna be so fun to drive.

[jbhondatech]

sweet i look foward to your results

[AKAudioINC]

Hey did you ever change that oil?:eek:

[AKAudioINC]

Hows that car doin since you changed your oil?

I dont know yet.i'd wait to put the parts on till you get it boosted. if not then the motor won't get good airflow cause of the extra space.
on all motor the best intake manifold that i've seen work is a stock one.

jfrolang will beg to differ with you on that

jfrolang will beg to differ with you on that

I was about to say that lol. You beat me to it. I can vouch for the b16+boost...****ing fast.

[AKAudioINC]

We need to check on that motor...:idb:

[SpeedDreamz]

your engine will need to be able to displace more air in order to benifit from the added inlet size. Possibly the cams will help.

[AKAudioINC]

If I were you Brian I would get the Skunk 2 mani and the ITR mani, then get someone to hold them, then blow through them and see which one does actually end up giving a better happy ending:bannana:

[AKAudioINC]

You ever decide what you are going to do about that intake mani?:thinking:
