Just curious if anyone is running a stock b20z and still using the torque chamber.
I have mine still on but I am not to the point of being able to drive the car yet.
I have converted the B20z to obd1 already. I kept all the obd2 sensors on the engine and used the 95 dx harness. I will be running it with a p75.
If anyone is running the same setup and you have any tips or know of any possible problems to look out for. Please Tell.


Thanks

 

are you running the giraffe manifold ?

 

no it's a b20z2 out of a 2001 crv.
low rise intake with the torque chamber on top.
You are talking about the US b20b intake.
way different.

 

just pick up an LS manifold.i couldnt see how that box would help you.

 

nah not even going there. I will keep it stock just wondering if someone else has done the same.
Thanks anyway

 

Does it even fit under the hood? I have heard that it won't with the 'torque chamber'. Regardless, I would guess that using this will increase low end/midrange at the expense of top end.

 

not going there? its an almost identical manifold minus that crappy box.

 

Yes it fits I had the engine in the car already but i took it out to weld the tranny mounting braket to the frame. I dropped the engine/tranny in just to mark the new spot for the braket.There were no clearance issues with the torque chamber. If 1.5 inchs or a little less is good enought for you. It is for me.

its an almost identical manifold minus that crappy box.
Why do you say it's a crappy box. Can you prove it or is that just your opinion.
Don't take that in a wrong way. I would just like some proof from someone that it is worth removing it and replacing it with the ls manifold. The engine only has 30k on it so I really do not want to remove anything.
Thank you for the replies.

 

because it disrupts smooth air flow.

 

oh okay, I was thinking it might be designed to only operate/affect a certain rpm range. I don't know.
I will hopefully be able to drive the car soon. I know one thing for sure. I will enjoy going from a automatic 1.5 to a standard 2.0.

 

Well I found this which is wierd because I did not come across it on the fist search i did. anyway.

The torque chamber on the b20z2 is a little different than that one.
I'll Keep it!
