Just bought my 70mm Skunk2 Throttle body and see that the Eldeldrock Victor X intake manifold is a 66mm??
What do you advice me? I can increase the intake to 70mm?

yes u can and you should
just have it port matched

00Red_SiR

Yes you would enlarge the manifold opening to match the TB.

Ok if so I need to remove the Intake manifold to the engine and some below srews are quite difficult!

Is there an intake manifold directly in 70mm?

eg6 type-R

no such thing biggest is 66mm and thats on a victor x intake manifold
think about it, u leave it as is now and u'll b losing power.. have it port matched and it'll help out, especially if ur going turbo

Okay with my 6766 and my Skunk2 Pro Cam's, it will be good to enlarge it!

Hello,

Just done it.





The Skunk2 TB need to be a very little enlarge to fit the TPS.

Did you use a gasket on that or silicone seal ?

Steeve_Civic

Which Gasket are you talking about? TPS-MAP-Intake?
2 gaskets were inside the box, I use Skunk2 gaskets

The Screw for the idle is horrible to adjust! The screw is below the accel cable

How can I do do Adjust idle?

looks good did you hand port and blend it or was it done by my machine. It looks like he is using a gasket?

Steeve_Civic

What do you mean by "did you hand port and blend it or was it done by my machine" ?

H22AFerio

Im talking about how you port matched the manifold did you do it by hand with a dremel or somthing similar or did you use a machine to port it?

Steeve_Civic

Okay sorry A machine did it :-)

H22AFerio

haha its ok, looks good.

Hello, are you sure that this Skunk2 70mm Tb? I saw your ruler measurement around 66.5 mm. I always thought skunk2 inlet 70mm. Is that a skunk 2 66mm TB? Sorry to bring this old thread live again :-)

Steeve_Civic

Yes the TB is 70mm but Victor X manifold is around 66.5mm, that why I adjusted by machined the manifold to 70mm

Throttle body is not Alpha series, 9tailsfox.. it is the older pro series.

9tailsfox

yeah I know is Pro series TB But I wonder why the measurement is not exactly 70mm instead of 66.5mm( according your picture show us). Now I thinking get alpha series 70mm but anyone compare Pro vs alpha series?
Pro = Pricey,More Bling,Great Design
Alpha = Cheaper, Almost exact OEM, No 1 ever Notice
