I could tell a big difference after i put mine on........no dyno charts to prove exact power, but made really good power from mid-range to top end power from what it felt like anyway.........

I'm pretty sure to that after you put the mani on it makes the gezzer a lil rich........but i have always heard good things about the SK2 manifold.

Hope you get that distributor problem to get that fixed soon to.......

instead of getting the skunk 2 im, get the itr im. I heard that they were the same and skunk 2 im are knock off of itr ones. Iunno but thats just IMO

I liked mine when I used one, but I cleaned it up a little bit, as the runners were very rough, and I took a little off the bottom of the intake ports on the head in order to help match it up a little better. The Skunk manifold, being a copy of the ITR, doesn't match the GSR heads flowpath directly, it's angled a bit different.

Even if the ITR manifold did fit, the knock off would do the same job.

<FONT COLOR="royalblue"> ITR Intake manifold is not a direct fit on the GS-R head.

After installing my S2 IM, I lost a decent amount of low end torque, but the gains on High end were pretty damm good. I felt a change around 4.5 + till red line. </FONT>

yes i like mine a lot!!!! made a bigger difference when I added CTR cams & p28

I know that. I was just comparing the pro's and con's of the two manifolds

Try2Live4God

Is there a manifold out there that is decent but does not lose power in the low end but still get's good gains at the high end?

Lee_Delso

How about the AEBS one, alot cheaper than Skunk 2 and ITR?

dornon13

I got this book for christmas and they tested a delsol manifold against the skunk 2 manifold as well as others and the del sol either outperfomed it or performed less than 1hp less. i believe the test was on a GSR engine too ...ill check but if i dont post differently assume it was GSR but i guess you might wanna look into the power band of the diff. manifolds too

BDogggUT34

not to hijack the thread but does anyone have opinions on the BLOX IM?

Go_Fork_Urself

AEBS does not have Manifolds for GSR's only B16 and B18c5
The Skunk 2 Manifold is basicly the ITR manifold bored out

It's the same thing as the Skunk2.

rusted_eyes

I got one on my B16 feels great up top, but it also feels like it lost some on the low end. Hopefully it'll feel even better when I get my cams and valvetrain upgraded.

I like.
