Alright I did a search on this and found a useful topic but it didn't quite answer my question completely. I have a 1st gen JDM B16 pretty much still stock except type r cams (I have a header and exhaust thats going to go on in the near future). I've heard its useless to put the type r intake manifold on unless you have some head work done to have noticeble power gains. On the other hand when I bought the car the guy threw in a bare ITR intake manifold so its sitting in my closet. Should I slap it on now? Or wait for some head work? Also does it bolt up directly? I heard you have to get some diffrent sensors or something. Also If I get headwork done it wont be at least till february. thx

it'll bolt up, you will feel gains up top...it's the type of MOD. that only helps further any performance (ie. valvesprings, retainers) i have it on my B16 and it feels great up top. my only quesiton to it is that you have a 1st Gen B16 and that weird vaccum sensor isn't there on the Type R manifold....i've never done that manifold swap before on a 1st Gen B16.
