i have a 97 gsr and i am wanting to put a skunk2 intake manifold on my car.. i was wondering if it will still run good with my stock ECU since it has fuel maps for the secondary butterflie that i will no longer have.. please lemme know!

also anything extra i need to install this manifold on my car except gaskets??
will alll my stock stuff including my ecu work perfect?

please lemme know asap! thanks in advance

 

stock ecu will run on limp mode since it still thinks it has
the secondaries and will try to look for it
also the car will bog out......

yuup, hit up Ih8ricerz for a chipped p28. also a single stage im isn't going to really make any difference unless u have some mods done to it

 

im gonna sell my skunk 2 im sinc eim gonna get the jrsc kit on my stock gsr. Im running on stock ecu and had no problems

what are you talking about???? the ECU does not throw ANY CEL's when the secondaris are not hooked up...

i ran a stock P72 obd1 ECU for a little while after installing my edlebrock intake manifold and never had a problem...

teh ECU sends a RPM activated signal for the secondaires but has NO return signal what so ever... the motor will NOT bog down and will run just fine.. although the P72 ECU wont be the most optimal ecu for a skunk2 or edlebrock manifold it wil not cause any major noticable problem

 

what year is your car? can u feel it lag until the usual secondary butterflies would have opened? does it run good and did u notice a power increase?

 

i have 00 gsr and no lag . good top end power. Here is a pic bro.

 

i dont have that setup anymore... but i also ran a P72 ecu on a ITR motor with no issues.. vtec engages as normal. the ecu sends a signal for the secondaries but since theres nothign there to recieve the signal obvisouly nothign happens.. the ecu gets no return signal saying OOPS THERES NO SECONDARIES THERE so no problem there....

i had a 95 gsr motor as well as a 2001 gsr motor with no issues this way...

 

did u have to change anything else or buy any extra parts when installing the manifold other then gaskets? also did it re-tain all factory sensors and NO CELs?

 

i have to buy couplers. Intake manifold gasket,tb gasket. I bought a itr tb and itr cable and bracket because my stock gsr tb was hitting my hood and getting stucck.

 

what couplers did u have to buy?

 

You need longer hoses and couple them together

 

longer hoses for what?

 

Check the article

 

VTEC engagement is way too low on a P72 ecu for a single stage manifold (4500rpm @ wide open throttle). You will notice a bog in power at that point. A P61 (92-93GSR) or USDM del Sol VTEC ECU would have a better VTEC point (5700rpm @ WOT). As stated above, to maximize the potential of that manifold, you should get upgraded valve train for high(er) rpm operation and cams that give you power beyond 8krpm.

As for the check engine light, I know for certain that an OBD1 ECU does not throw a code for that, but it is possible that an OBD2 ECU might, seeing as how OBD2 is all about making our tuning lives difficult.

 

would it be safe to run my car on a P30 ecu (obd1 b16 ecu)

 

Yeah... that's the one from the del Sol, right?

 

i heard u get good gian with ported/polished Stock GSR manifold. also removed 2nd butterfly. Erick's race car was using this. &lt;--heard it.

 

you might want to look into the AEBS gsr im. it was actually designed for the gsr head. and, if you don't have any REAL mods, and have no need to rev above 8200rpm, then a port matched oem gsr im w/hondata im gasket should net you good gains without any midrange loss, which is what will happen if you intall the S2 im.
