Default Pics - B20Z with torque chamber clearance problems?

for those who wondered, yes it does fits, no rubbing, no problems at all.

btw. here is my new setup:
-'00 JDM Orthia B20B (no need for drivers side mount change, it works with 92-3 Sohc EG mount)
-Y21 LSD tranny
-JUN clutch/flywheel
- http://www.hyperducktuning.com custom P75 proggy

so...... why would you want that over a skunk2 manifold? any finale thoughts on performance outcome yet?

Torque chamber and longer runner intake manifolds (even the giraffe style CRV B20 manifold, if you can get it to fit) gives you more torque and low-mid range power. Shorter runners, like the Skunk2 and Type R manifolds, give better top end power. It's a toss up & compromise on what direction you want to go with.

Finally got around to uploading the pict, but there's a good pict to show the differences if anyone is curious.

Motor looks real clean and all. Im sure it pulls nice with the short tranny. That intake manifold is just funky. hehe, but if it works hell yeah. Stay non-vtec dude.

its a phk intake manafold, it is NOT a b20z motor, nor a b20z intake manafold.


It is PHK...

I have that exact same motor that I did my crvtec....

i guess i dont have crvtec, its orthiavtec

sorry still have never seen the stock low rise b20z intake manifold... my motor came with the high rise one ... bought the cheapest manifold for my car at the time for my car cuz i was broke .. got a p75 one... lookin to get another intake manifold and found this thing.. where did you get that manifold? more torque sounds good to me

yeah more torque... right.... but I think the air flow designe was only made to be benifical for maximum lower rpm hp & tq.

I'm willing to bet that it will not out perform a regular ls manifold above 4,000 rpm. I mean getting a honda motor to be more torquey is cool but your only trying to fight the inedable. If you want torque in a honda motor get a V6 or else stay with a chevy/ford. If you want a higher reving motor honda is were you want to start. I mean I'm not trying to be a brick (i hope you don't take offenese to this bro LOL) but it's funny to hear about some people who try makeing a honda motor torquey by staying all motor. Turbo will replace the low displacement and supply you with plenty of tq but my point is that:

***there is no use trying to make lowerend power & at the same time limit your upper rpm power band, just like in this case if using this manifold vs. an LS, & skunk2.

the B20 dynos at about 130-135tq! that should be plenty for a 2200-2500lbs car. If you want more tq get higher compression pisitons or bore the bitch! That way you can get more tq and still NOT limit you higher rpm power band. not to mention that the BOTH kinds of gains will be noticed throught the entire powerband from 500rpm to what ever your cams profile peaks out at.


This mod would be great for a car that is driven very softly and does not see more than 3500rpms at most and is not intened to be fast...... Wait thats why they have whats called a CRV!

Name me one racer who wants low end power and shifts a 4,000 rpms when he races... beside having and automatic


LOL dont' take it the wrong way. I'm just trying to get more people to think more about what they are doing. BTW that was very creative mod. You got my props for being different
