I could tell a big difference after i put mine on........no dyno charts to prove exact power, but made really good power from mid-range to top end power from what it felt like anyway.........

I'm pretty sure to that after you put the mani on it makes the gezzer a lil rich........but i have always heard good things about the SK2 manifold.

Hope you get that distributor problem to get that fixed soon to.......

TTT

 

instead of getting the skunk 2 im, get the itr im. I heard that they were the same and skunk 2 im are knock off of itr ones. Iunno but thats just IMO

 

type r manifold dont fit gsr heads.

I liked mine when I used one, but I cleaned it up a little bit, as the runners were very rough, and I took a little off the bottom of the intake ports on the head in order to help match it up a little better. The Skunk manifold, being a copy of the ITR, doesn't match the GSR heads flowpath directly, it's angled a bit different.

Even if the ITR manifold did fit, the knock off would do the same job.

Ya, I just decided to stick with ITR Same thing but less expensive

<FONT COLOR="royalblue"> ITR Intake manifold is not a direct fit on the GS-R head.

After installing my S2 IM, I lost a decent amount of low end torque, but the gains on High end were pretty damm good. I felt a change around 4.5 + till red line. </FONT>

 

yes i like mine a lot!!!! made a bigger difference when I added CTR cams & p28

I know that. I was just comparing the pro's and con's of the two manifolds

 

Is there a manifold out there that is decent but does not lose power in the low end but still get's good gains at the high end?

 

How about the AEBS one, alot cheaper than Skunk 2 and ITR?

 

I got this book for christmas and they tested a delsol manifold against the skunk 2 manifold as well as others and the del sol either outperfomed it or performed less than 1hp less. i believe the test was on a GSR engine too ...ill check but if i dont post differently assume it was GSR but i guess you might wanna look into the power band of the diff. manifolds too

 

not to hijack the thread but does anyone have opinions on the BLOX IM?

 

AEBS does not have Manifolds for GSR's only B16 and B18c5
The Skunk 2 Manifold is basicly the ITR manifold bored out

It's the same thing as the Skunk2.

 

I got one on my B16 feels great up top, but it also feels like it lost some on the low end. Hopefully it'll feel even better when I get my cams and valvetrain upgraded.

 

I like.
