Edelbrock PerformerX Manifold for 92-95 Civic.....Writeup.
Big thanks to "Demigod" for his help in this buildup!! Couldn't have done it without him!!
Well, after Finally getting the last piece of the puzzle to install my engine, I decided to do a quick writeup of this manifold for the 92-95 civics. For those t
hat don't know, the main difference between this manifold and the 96-00 is that the AIT sensor is in the manifold not the TB. There is also nothing for Air Injection which none of the EG civics have of course.
I got it on Friday night was laughing cause it came in the VictorX box.
I thought they sent me the wrong one. 
Anyway, I opened it up and was in "aw" of how nice it looked. Here you go:
FYI, that is an ITR throttle body that I had cleaned and opened up by (The New Spaceballs). I HIGHLY recommend him. Very fast and awesome work.
How do my feet look.
62mm TB opening (I opened mine up to 66 for the TB)
Underside
The most surprising part about this manifold was all the pretapped holes for the accessories. This allowed me to ditch my vacuum box for a much nicer look as you will see shortly.
Some more shots:
Great pic of the cleanliness that the fittings provide. Don't see anything really.
Shot in the car. There is plenty of room behind it. Nothing like the Skunk2 POS
My issues were this:
The stock IM nuts won't fit without some modification with a dremel. You can see where I marked what needed removed
Another shot of what I am talking about.
After some machining, it all works out. Even with the Hondata gasket washers. And before someone asks, even without the washers, it still was NOT going on with the stock nuts without machining.
The plenum on this manifold is bigger and the runners are shorter than the Skunk2. All in all, probably a better manifold for the SOHC. My opinion of course. I rate the Skunk a 5 out of 10 and this a 9. And yes, I have had both.
And finally, if you haven't figured it out, "project big block" is in the car. Only a few more things to do before I fire it up, break in, and install the turbo stuff. I am breaking-in NA on stock ECU and injectors.
I will have a writeup of the engine install later. Diaper change time.
Enjoy!!
Edit, here is another shot of it in the car
Near completion

Nice. I didn't know that the Edelbrock manifold had accessory ports. It definitely cleans up some of the mess from all the vacuum lines.

Thats similar to comparing a 4-1 header to a 4-2-1. The Edelbrock is for turbo engines and will give you a higher max hp, but move your power way up the RPM band and sacrifice it down low. The Skunk2 is a NA manifold, supposedly designed to give an overall hp increase and be great for driveability.
Looks nice man. Can't wait to get mine with the 92-95 Edelbrock 50 state turbo kit when it becomes widely available.

Brad do you have any measurements of how much room is left behind the manifold? I'm trying to figure out if I could fit it with my ZEX box in the same place.

Ive installed a few on bseries motors and it pissed me off they dont come with a throttle cable bracket, because the stock ones never work and I always end up having to make one..

I can get them for you. I will say that this manifold sits lower so you could mount it high and be fine I think.

My box is mounted as high as possible right now. If you could get those measurements I would appreciate it. Good write up!

Do you remember when I had my vacuum box?
It still would have fit easily with this manifold. If that is where it is at, you won't have a problem. Unless the EK's are different.

That's exactly where it's at, except the ZEX box is about an 1-2" deeper than that vacuum box from what I can see.

I still don't see it being an issue.

That's looking sweet! I really like that valve cover! The underhood really looks nice without the vacuum box. Nice work and writeup!
So when will the car be up and running?

That is a very nice piece. I have the Revhard intake manifold for b16a2. It's just like the Edelbrock one. Much cleaner running the vacumm lines underneath also I can definetly feel the power up top now!
Good write up.

ladysman,
Did it come with that throttle cable bracket? I could probably use the bracket on my B16.
hmmm.......

Hehe...had you bought the Edelbrock manifold, it would have came with a throttle bracket for the B16! See what you get for buying a copy!

yeah, but I paid like $70 less. I can make my own bracket for about $10. Just haven't had time to make one. So I made my current one work.
