Questions about Skunk2 intake manifold in 2000 Civic Si
First question: Is there anything I can use/buy besides an old IAT sensor to plug up the hole?
Second question: Could I just use a T-fitting to connect these to hoses since the Skunk2 IM doesn't have enough holes for all the hoses?
Third question: Did anybody else not use these things when installing the fuel rail? Did your injectors have a good seal without using it? They go between the fuel rail and IM where the nut is.

1) You could use JB Stick to seal it up.
2) That should work. How many are you short?
3) I lost one of mine so I only used 2 of them, but it worked just fine with them. I also had to custom make some injector seals because the B16a2 ones were too short to use. I am using RC 310cc injectors though.

I'm only short one hole, I believe it's for the charcoal canister.
Reason why I didn't use the washer things, cause they were to thick, and the injectors wouldn't seal onto the IM, I also had to buy new shorter studs for the fuel rail to bolt up to cause the nuts wouldn't hold the fuel rail down.

Sounds like you had the same issue I did. You need taller injector seals then you can use the spacers and don't need longer studs, haha.
