Yeah that sounds about right. I believe an s300 has a fan control in there as does some of the other stand alones. I was thinking to just allow the stand alone do it and block off that port

Re: k20 RBC intake mani. on a h22?
quick ? there was some saying that all the adapters arent very good like thick gaskets with the thick adapters like wouldnt that cause lag or lose of power compared to being a regular manifold throttle body in use if not wat about oem gaskets on the adapters?

haven't heard anything of that sort around here. most people are having small leaks in other places, which are not all that hard to fix.

the added parts do not create any lag. the thermal gaskets help stop heat from transferring to the intake manifold, so they add hp if anything. the additional 3/4 inches added to the length of the runners from the adapter piece and gaskets does not hurt the performance of the RBC manifold.

I measured just to be sure and its a tad bigger than 13mm then the 6mm or so for the gaskets so yeah 19mm or 3/4"

Re: k20 RBC intake mani. on a h22?
Yeah my leaks were because I didnt plug the holes on the injector ports, whitch was my fault and then I didnt seal the IAVC to the adapter plate, Again my fault.. And to people saying a lose of power. Negitive!! I havent been able to tune it or put it on the dyno cause I just got it running But I drove about 60 some miles today and just from my butt dyno its pulling hard! and now I'm thinking I need stiffer motor/trans mounts cause it feels like its about to yank my transmission out when I shift now lol..

o yea thats so true i never really thought of that the rbc with adapters is way shorter the euro r manifold with its long runners thanks guys also rosko racing will be hearing from me very soon i need to order the iavc and tb kit as well as qsd for a h2b kit thanks.

You need to P.M. EGHATCH4YA209 for the QSD products. His names Josh and a really cool guy! He'll get you the adapter plate for the manifold & the h2b kit.

for the money that it costs to convert to the k manifold you probably should just have a custom plenum made for the stock h22 manifold.. definatley works because nah2b makes 323whp on that manifold....

True, but if you think about it, look at the pic of his car. And he would even tell you; would you drive your car down the street with the your throttle body sticking out of your hood? I wouldn't. Ive spoken to him and even his header was designed solely for the track because of the ground clearance.
And i'd still prefer to use my RRC on the street anyway

Plus think about it: He made that manifold himself. Do you really think he'd charge around what it costs to change to the k manifold? What about the other mods you will need to pay for to have a manifold in the style he has? More money. He is bad *** and so is his work so i highly doubt he'd take 400 dollars to make one just like his. And he'd tell the buyer not to drive it on the street which 90% of the guys who have it now cant do. Thats my thought

Re: k20 RBC intake mani. on a h22?
thanks for the compliments guys haha
i definately wouldnt recomend my intake for the street. aside from the obvious reasons, low end and midrange would be a dog on a "normal" street motor due to loss of velocity
however i would use the lower half and simply modify a stock upper half to match and gather air via a cai
im not sold on the whole adapter plate idea yet
its nice that you have different intake options but it definately adds length to the runners and thats a no no haha
besides that it dumps the plenum/tb downward closer to the hot exhaust which i would not want and puts the tb in an akward position
i used to love the euro r intake but it needs shorter runners and a larger plenum for a big motor.
the stock manifold's 7" runner length is great and you can design pretty much any size plenum you want.
just my .02

Re: k20 RBC intake mani. on a h22?
Makes alot of sense. So funny that a while back when NAH2B started a thread on how much power his stock motor made and how "unbelievable" people said it was. Now he has the fastest AM H2B car out there. With some of his own custom work. And think of how many of those guys who called bs are now scratching their heads. I love it.
As for the runners, its not as bad (in my opinion) only because the runners on my RRC arent long, shorter than the EuroR i had and the adapter is only about 13mm thick but i do understand what youre saying there.
Keep up tha goodness NAH2B. When people sat and bashed the H series, you bashed them with an H series!

Re: k20 RBC intake mani. on a h22?
not everybody is after peak power, i think most people want a manifold that produces the broadest power/torque band... well, at least on a street car. it varies from application. i would rather have something on my car that produces more power across the whole board rather than just in the high end.
