I just say the skunk2 intake on sale at jdmhondaparts.com - first off, will there be any issues fitting this on a b17a? I've got an f-max turbo and am rebuilding the motor right now (resleeving to 84.5mm by golden eagle). I plan on cramming a lot of air into this engine, would this be a worthwhile investment? I believe it is $310 shipped.

 

get an ITR intake manifold for 100 less.

 

doesnt the itr take modifying to fit?

 

I have an ITR intake manifold for sale that I port-matched to my Erick's Racing throttle body.
$210. Will fit right on B17/B16 head.

Brian.
don't get the ITR intake if you have a GSR. It will have to be modified.
Get the Skunk2. Its an easy bolt on and fits perfectly.
Very nice when you go to turbo. Do yourself a favor and get the hondata manifold gasket and do it when you swap you manifold. I never knew about the insulating gasket and now I'm in no mood to take it off to put that gasket in.

Yeah right on! Get the Hondata IM Gasket. Also, I would just stck with the Skunk2 Manifold, I belive it has slightly larger runners.

 

B17A head = B16A head.

ITR manifold will bolt on.

 

i understand why you would need to swap the gasket out but why the hondata IM gasket and not an oem one?

 

because it keeps heat from the intake manifold
its an insulator

 

I already have the hondata gasket, got it several months ago when I put in the hondata but I never felt like installing it. I've had the f-max turbo on for about two weeks, but pulled the engine out over the weekend to send it out for resleeving. Regardless of which manifold I get (if any), should I replace the throttle body at the same time?

 

it would be good to get one thats 62-64mm
