Skunk2 intake manifold on SOHC VTEC

Im going to get a Skunk2 intake manifold for my d16z6. Does anyone know how much horsepower i might get? I would also like to know how hard it is to install? I was thinking about getting a fuel rail also, does that affect your gas mileage alot? What kind of performance might i see out of that? Should i get aem or str? Sorrry bout all the questions.



thanks

I dont think Skunk2 has made theres yet...but if they have i may get one...

I'm pretty sure, could be wrong , that they don't make it. Skunk2 intake manifold's are Type R replica's so...........:confused: :confused: :confused:

I've heard rumors of a skunk2 intake, haven't seen it, but I've heard of its existence. I know that Edlebrock makes one for imports now. With about a 30HP gain at 6500-7200 RPM's. I would get the new fuel rail and pump/filter. You will lose miles per gallon, but you'll have a pretty good gain in high end torque and HP. It shouldnt be too hard to install, make sure you have all the gaskets, replacement bolts (if necessary), and make sure all your hoses and lines n such are long enough to get on the new manifold.

Might want to have a shop fine tune it once you've got it on, that way you're not running too rich or lean and burning up plugs and the like.

yes they do make them for the d16z6. Im ordering mine tonight along with some Sparco mechanics gloves. Does anyone know if its hard to install? Should it be pretty simple? www.Nopionline.com has the intake manifold for d16z6 for $311

So they do so they do....but only for the D16z...rats.

ohh my bleeding heart :bloated:

pick up a book and do some searching and learn how to tune it yourself..
you'll save major cash in the end..

nothing a few friends caint help you out with

good finally someone else with a sense of humor

ah yes, the afc. isnt that like a chip er something to add to your ecu that picks up any modification changes in the mix? i really dont know.

and yeah, the glove thing, good one.

it does'nt pick up changes it helps you adjust your settings

It's " like " an EMS. You can richen or lean out your fuel, push your vtec engagement point forward or back ,check sensors, record runs, and a bunch of sh**. Like I said, damn good investment. Highly suggest if you have a chipped ecu. My ecu makes me run rich as hell so........

So what hp gains will you see from the intake? about 30 hp like the edelbrock one???

I've been tryin to find the thread, but to no avail. Someone on here has replied in a thread that the Skunk2 intake manifold by design gives about as much HP but low end HP and torque as opposed to high end. How this works I am not sure.

Check out the Skunk2 website, see if they have anything on it:

http://www.first1.com/productscat/horsepower/manifold/intake/skunk2.html

they list their manifolds for 94-01 B18c1; 90-91 B18b-A; 97-01 CRV B20B; 92-93 B17A; and 94-97 B16a

so they exist for others as well.
happy hunting

oh yeah BTW the skunk2 website is:

http://www.skunk2.com

der, the one above is some other site that has those things listed- though I got some error pages when I checked them again.
