ok so heres my situation... i want to buy a new intake manifold for my B18C1. i will be going turbo soon so i want a manifold that will give me N/A gains... but more importantly good for a future turbo setup.....
so exluding custom manifolds, itbs with a plenum... and the god awfullly expensive afi manifolds.... what is the best manifold?

 

Depends on what your set up is and what your goals are. So what are they?

 

I think victor x are the bang for your bucks imo.

 

not the first time ive heard that thanks.... i might end up going with that... is it much better than skunk2??



and my goals are unknown at this time....but that doesnt really affect my decision since i dont want to compramise

I have the skunk2 IM and i love it. i could tell a big difference once i put it on. I had it on my N/A B18C for like 2 months then just put my turbo kit on and it pulls so hard from mid range all the way through. but thats just my thoughts on it.

 

any thoughts on like the HP manifold and venom manifolds?

 

I heard skunk2's are overpriced for what they are. I have a aebs on my gsr turbo and love it. but its all on you. I would go with that tho.

 

for the price aebs or vic x are the only way to ride

 

I have an HP Racing IM and love it. It makes good power, but i have no basis for comparison. The only problem with them is that they're probably hard to find. I dont think Damian (TDAutoWorks) sells them anymore.

If it was me buying a new IM, i would go with the Edelbrock and not look back. Its well-priced, known to make good power, and available from multiple sources immediately
