i was wondering if anyone has one on there b-series motor and how the performance was?

 

bump^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

my friend just got his put on his GS-R and it seems like it made a pretty damn good difference. Don't know exact numbers sorry.

 

Blox is very good put out better numbers then a Skunk 2 IM

 

They're pretty good, couple of my friends using them. good IM

 

i got a Gsr with a Blox, Short Ram Intake, Exhaust and dyno'd 161whp & 120 torque

thats funny because they are the same manifold with a different name

thats funny, last i checked the runner lengths and port sizes were totally different.
what in the world gave you the idea that theyre the same?

 

because blox is a replica of skunk 2 thats whast gave me the idea they were the same

 

they may be different , but i have always heard they were the same, and that the only difference was the skunk was carb legal, it would make sense considering most of the stuff blox makes are copies of skunk

 

according an-r, blox makes 8whp more than skunk2 IM. think of blox IM being a ported/modified version of the skunk2 IM.

then since skunk is a replica of the itr manifold that makes the skunk, blox and itr manifolds all the same too. i get it now, thanks

 

I got a GSR and dyoned 169.7whp and 129.3 lbs/trq. Skunk2 IM I/H/E they are probably very simliar I doubt you would tell a difference

you will find that its not a replica, rather its made in the same factory and it is slightly different then the skunk2 manifold.....Made by the same hands that make the skunk2....

no i know that the skunk is a better version of the itr, but i have always thought that the blox was the same casting as the skunk2 and was told that from a shop when i bought my skunk2 one.

 

I thought that they blox ones were just an exact replica that arent smog legal, and are cheaper for that reason, just like the obx cams are supposed to be of the skunk2 cams, if they are 2 totally diferent manifolds, thats great, I didnt know that.

 

they are not an exact copy. the blox castings are way nicer than skunk castings. runner size and shape and volume are all different.
you have been misinformed.

 

I got a Blox intake manifold on my JDM B18C SIR-G engine and its seems to have added some power after vtec engagement on my car which is 5400rpms. It pulls pretty good up top. Blox gets a from me.

 

maybe i should have checked out blox before i bought my skunk2 one, oh well

 

i heard is pretty good,,, but i think skunk2 is betta

VTEC is 4400 on a std SiR-G engine

Have you lost much midrange? Im tempted to get one to release some top end, got a dyno graph you could show me to compare to my std manifold one please?

Well my P28 ECU that runs my SiR-G engine isnt std and has been rechipped and has a 5400 rpm vtec engagement point. And no I dont have any graphs also I dont have a baseline graph either. So I couldnt tell you where I picked up any power or lost any.

 

Isn't it just amazing how much bs is going on here. SHOW the dyno, before and after. Fact that something goes well after VTEC can also indicate that power before the VTEC is gone...

Anyway I have spent countless hours tuning my car, and some of you should search under my posts I had dyno results published once I put BLOX mani.

Long story short GSR IM with AEM CAI made the same top end 161WHP and 120TQ as I did after the BLOX change and this was VAFC tuned on BLOX. I also lost 10WHP/10TQ from 4000 to 5500 (new VTEC change) with BLOX (AFTER TUNING a/f).
This is the REAL reason why BLOX rips after VTEC (on the stock motor mostly), because a Civic LX is going to own you to 5500 rpm any gear
(provided that you have something to change your VTEC point)

Now BLOX is a good product, but before I started making power with BLOX, it took me to new set of cams, 3 different intakes, VAFC, and finally chipped P28 with Uberdata than Crome, EPROM burner, RTP setup, wideband O2, test pipe with o2 bung, bunch of dyno sessions, bunch of waisted time, and yes my car runs well now, and yes BLOX makes power now, and yes my bank account is smoking ...

Moral of the story, BLOX(or any of those single runners) is not a "bolt on"

Stock B18c1 with AEM cai will OWN blox on that same motor. VAFC will only help some in this case, p72 timing does not help with BLOX.

 

Thanks for the informative reply. Ive seen a ITR IM lose power on a B16 with ITR cams, so indeed people need to look beyond how the car feels.

Infact im struggling with an JDM P72 at the mo getting it to close the IAB at low rpm, so it FEELS like higher rpm absolutley hauls... yet its only cos the low end is so poor. Hence rather than dick abut with my ECU and maybe wait for crome updates i was tempted to get a Blox... i think ill wait and continue to use my OBD2 P72.

 

so how do they stack up?

blox
skunk2
aebs
itr

hasn't anyone done a cfm comparo?
