In need of a lilttle intake manifold advice.....
hi, its just about that time... time to break down and buy an intake manifold... i really like the skunk2 and i was planning on buying untill my budy said that he had heard that they should be called "junk2" .... i was just wondering what intake mani seems to work really well for a boosted h22.... like venom or what? i mean dishing out 300 bucks is a big deal for me... so i want to spend it on the right ****... thanks in advance ...

Re: In need of a lilttle intake manifold advice..... (turboH22Aakkord)
If you ask me, a manifold is a manifold. They will affect how the engine responds when not in boost, but the only requirement when in boost is for the manifold to flow enough to meet your RPM limit.
If you are maintaining a close-to-OEM rev limit, keep the OEM manifold. The small ports and long runners will help you maintain some low-end, which otherwise might be lost with the altered exhaust, etc.
If the turbo can spool quickly, it doesn't matter much if the manifold causes a restriction. You can always tune the turbo's output to compensate.

I have always seen them work well on boosted engines.. Dont know about using them on NA ones though..

Full-Race is still working on their intake manifolds last I knew. They should be done sometime in the spring.

Anyone I have talked to that has ran the skunk is happy with it. . . keep in mind, that they don't really modify the intake runners. . . so you are really just trading a little bit of low end for a little bit of top end.
Good for the 1/4 though.

I know they make nice good working manifolds for mustangs....</TD></TR></TABLE>
Same thing as the Edelbrock, only with a different name stamped on it from what I've heard. Check with Marauder, he works at Edelbrock.

Well if that is true...I like it. Its only $259 from summit racing.
Summit seems to show a difference...at least in their descriptions.
Victor X powerband: 6,000-10,000 rpm.
BBK SSI powerband: 1,500-7500 rpm.

ok, my only question is if $300 is a big deal to you, why do you want to buy an intake mani so bad? I mean people are putting down HUGE power with the stock mani... so what do you need a new mani for?
the other thing I'm wondering is how do you have a boosted civic and think spending $300 is a big deal?

haha... i'm a broke college student for 1... ( 50 cents is a big deal to me) for 2. i guess i just dont like the 2 piece H22a mani and just thought i might get a little better power out of an aftermarket one... and for 3. i have a boosted accord.. not civic..
