i need to start thinking about getting my y8 to breathe better . im getting an ericks racing 70mm TB and plan on port matching the IM i get . the skunks are a good price but ive herd they are favored for all motor . is it a bad idea to use one for FI?

 

I used one on my old B20 turbo set up, and i have no complaints..

Mike...

 

im tired of modifing things to fit......so i dont want to get an edlebrock.... made good power with it? so i would mos def make more power over a stock IM at least ?

 

I'm assuming you have a y8 head? the skunk2 is good but dont go too big on the TB.

The edelbrock is a good piece as well, its available for the y8 and z6 heads now.

 

you ****.. now u want a skunk2? i just sold mine with the GE fuel rail and an h22a tb for $250

 

I think that youll be happy with the gains from a Skunk2 IM. But as stated before...id go with a slightly smaller tb.

 

for me atleast the skunk 2 is a limiting factor. I would go with jg, it is worth a little extra work.

This is for a d-series



Are you talking about this?

 

good god thats sexy , but i bet its expensive as hell.

 

I run the Skunk2 IM and made decent power for a single cam 1.6l Fitment is good for the Y8 head in an EK.

How much does that manifold cost? I've never seen one like that for a D Series before.

Modifying to fit? I had one of the first one of the Edelbrock and I had to modify where the bolts go. This has since been fixed. Other than that, I did NOTHING. You will do a hell of a lot more modifying with the skunk2 than you will with the Edelbrock. I should know as I had both.

And please, do not by a god damn thing from JG, they are a ripoff company. Proven many times here. IM Geoff about making you one of his new manifolds for the D series. he is planning on it.

I was going to fab one of those manifold ( like the old school JG ) this winter but Im not sure that it would be superior to Edelbrock... so I dunno if it worth it....

 

Unless you are making 350+ hp i would run the skunk2.

 

I dunno, Skunk2 is all about all motor, so I would look into something else.

The Skunk2, being for all motor apps, obviously wasn't designed to flow 400whp, I would get the JG, or equivalent. Maybe wait for the new Full-race mani to come out, that would be nice.

 

i also dont want to spend a grand lol......maybe ill go with the edelbrock

 

It may not be that much, maybe 999?

EDIT- Maybe a Golden Eagle? I dunno how much they are.
