youngvedder,

you should try to do the valve springs, cam gears and a rechipped ecu for the single intake runner...with all of these mods, you should hopefully knock .5 off your 1/4.

vedder, i think you can convert your OBD2 ---> OBD1. You need a harness and a OBD1 ecu. I will be selling my ecu in a few weeks. Let me know if you want it.

sounds great, less filling.
seriously though, wouldn't the exhaust drown out the noise.

no way, the intake noise on the gsr almost always drowns out the exhaust (from inside the cockpit) unless you have an N1 or something like that.

so would it sound like the b16 or itr? cause their vtec engagment is much more pronouced than the gsr's. i think thats what he wants to know.

it probably would, because the skunk2 IM is a single stage just like the b16 and ITR. so when vtec kicks in it should sound as mean as at 5800 when the butterflies open.

with itr cams you should move vtec up higher.

when i put mine on my ls i noticed it sounded different. it was meaner and lil bit louder. mine whistled alot when at part throttle too. performance wise it made my top end rule.

Is it possible to remove the butterly valves from the stock GSR intake mani to make a single runner i.m.?

yes but on stock cams it wouldn't be beneficial. maybe with wilder cams. erick's record-setting drag car uses the stock gsr IM, but he removed the butterfly valves and ported it.

it is possible and it is also beneficial with just the stock cam's. it would be more beneficial with aftermarket cam's, but what isn't with em', have fun pulling apart the IM.
