Default B16 mani to SKUNK2 manifold.........questions

I just bought a Skunk2 intake manifold for my B16A in my CRX......

Its a lot different as far as where things bolt up...and Im confused, Ive searched around and can't seem to find any pics or info as to how the IACV/EACV and stuff swaps over from the stock manifold.

It looks like some things wont even be used any more......

Anyone who has done this have any advice?

neither of the two items you showed will be used. simply bypass the fast idle valve coolant lines (the one under the throttle body) and leave the other one on the front of the manifold completely unused. If you find you have issues idling when cold, you may need to install a throttle body that has the fast idle valve on the bottom. Enjoy!

Thank you for your info! But one more....what about the small vaccuum port on the end on the front of the S2 manni? what is that one for?

Sorry for the newbishness....I just cant find this info in the search, and I didn't get any directions with the part....

the small vacuum line on the far right is for your fuel pressure regulator, the larger in the middle is for pcv. TIP: the small vacuum port on the far right BACK side of the manifold is a great source for vacuum for your map sensor, and will allow you to completely do away with the mess of vacuum lines on the firewall.

Placement of the stock fuel rail on this manifold is wacky....any tips for that?

Any advice from people who are using the stock fuel rail on an ITR or Skunk2 manifold?

Im having problems with fitting the plug and the pressure regulator in the same spot

I am coming to the conclusion that this is not possible, to use the stock fuel rail setup on a skunk2 manifold. The injectors DO NOT seat using the stock setup.

ANYONE??? using a skunk2 manifold here?

WHAT ARE YOU USING FOR FUEL RAIL AND INJECTORS!?!?!!?!

hrm....

what year is your B16 engine?

If you have a 1st gen B16 (88-91 OBDO) then you can't reuse the fuel rail because the FPR bumps into the IAT sensor. You need to get a hold of a 94+ integra fuel rail (which offsets the FPR away from the IAT sensor). You'll need to swap over your Fuel rail mounting threaded posts as well as the throttlebody threaded posts.

You should be able to unbolt the IACV (sensor on back of manifold) and swap it over to the SK2 manifold.

Swap over your existing throttlebody (as mentioned by others) and don't worry about the FITV (red thing you circled in your photo). If you live in a cold climate zone (snowy), then you don't want to bypass the FITV, but if you live in CA for instance, you can totally bypass the FITV. The FITV is there to circulate coolant through the throttlebody and keep the butterfly from sticking closed.

Also swap over the IAT sensor if you haven't already...
