So after searching some on H-T and various other places, it seems the general consensus is that the AEBS, while not the best quality, gives the best bang for the buck performance... out performing the ITR IM and being about on par with the more expensive Skunk2 IM. Now I’m going to be going with the Buddy Club Stage 4 cams and (obviously) will need to upgrade my intake manifold since I want to make power all the way up to 9K RPMs. My question to you is, will the AEBS IM be the correct piece of hardware for this? If not, what should I be looking at? If so, ill be supper stoked since these can be found on the cheap, even brand new (140 bucks isn’t bad at ALL).

Thanks in advance,

-Joe

 

I have the aebs intake mani, and it made power to whatever my CAMS! And other mods would make power too. Aebs will probably take pretty much whatever you throw at it, and even tho its pretty damn ugly, works really well. Going to cut it open this winter, and smooth out the inside a little bit, but like i said, correct me if im wrong, Intake mani doesnt have much to do with where your motor makes power too. Probably how fast and how well its gets there, but power is determined by cams mainly. ie, duration, lift, ect.....

 

JG sheetmetal intake mani!

actually, have you seen dynos of a B16 V B18C5 IM? With the same set-up other then the IM the B16A2's power production drops off rapidly after 82-8300RPM where the B18C5 continues to make power (in the case in which I saw) ti 8600RPM (that was on stock ITR cams). The runners are tuned on the B16 to make more midrange power, because Honda wasnt designing it to make power past the 8150RPM redline for the stock B16A2, VS the ITR which redlines at ~8500.

 

what header are you running? the ITR IM is pretty nasty, ive seen a 200whp B16a peak at 8800rpm with that stock manifold. stock honda parts are good
do you plan on doing any work to the head?

 

JDM ITR header
B16A2 head w/ PnP & 3 angle valve job
Omnipower shotpeened valve springs w/ Ti retainers.
I had the head beadblasted and hot tanked as well.

the B18C5 short block is a brand new 01 version, i will also be adding a mugen HG to bump the CR to above 11:1. Looing for ~200WHP

 

I will give you much respect if you can get BC4s to push 200whp through a stock JDM exhaust manifold with mild compression (if the shortblock is out of the car and not installed as of yet, do yourself a favor and check some of the clearances and piston ring gap location before you install it... my block has always made good compression numbers, but always lost oil through the rings from day one)

 

the block was purchased BRAND NEW, completly assembeled, from the Acura dealer. There is no need for that.

 

im going to have to stick with the JG sheetmetal

 

i bought my c5 motor from acura to new i was impressed. Its nice, and with my setup it provides good power check my profile joe, i went a 14.0 all motor

 

is that hks suspension u got?

 

where can you buy these jg sheetmetal intake manifolds mentioned?

I am going to have to second that. (or fourth or fifth it). The JG Edelbrock manifold also makes power to 10,000 +, but there is a sacrifice of low-mid range.

 

Those BC 4's will never see their potential,not even remotely with that compression. Just get some S2 Stage 2's or get your compression up to at least 12:1 to maximize output.

 

S2S2s wont make power to 9K

i must add....a GREAT seller

 

When I put my Hondata in, i'll post my graph and bet you it does. My graph is just below in another thread.

 

If the S2S2 make power to 9K wouldnt, then the Buddy Club Stage 3s?

 

(the block was purchased BRAND NEW, completly assembeled, from the Acura dealer. There is no need for that.)

just a suggestion... so was mine and I had some issue with it. I would go through it just to make sure since it is out of the car your call.

 

its not. its been in the car for a month already. thanks for the advise though.

 

how much is a jg sheetmetal manifold?

$450 + a $75 core if you don't provide a manifold for him to use.

 

they fit really well for the most part...BUT...my aem FPR hit the plenum with my stock itr rail, and my aftermarket billet one

i switched back to stock...


oh, and Top Fuel/J's style intakes DO NOT fit when you have a b-series in an EH....i tried and tried to get my top fuel to fit
