what are peoples thoughts on a skunk 2 intake mani. Good? Bad? OKay?

And also Suggestions on throttle bodies, which one do you think are good, bad and such?

 

I have the skunk2 intake and I guess it's okay. I just got it cuz I couldn't find another intake that would allow me to pass smog at the smog ref. otherwise I'd still be using my first gen b16a intake mani.

Edit:
Ever since I put my skunk2 intake manifold on my intake started making a stupid whistling noise. It is driving me insane.

Oh yea tell us what kinda engine you have and what's done to it and we'll try and help you find a throttle body that works for you.

 

My Accord made that same whistling noise, never found out what it was

 

I would save up and by some cams, you will see more power out of a cam or cams. Either way, if your gonna want to add more air to your engine, your gonna need a bigger cam or cams.

I would go with the AEBS intake though, its like $100 dollars and the gains are better then the skunk2 mani

 

Im makin great power with my S2, and a set of stg 1 cams

 

I had the Skunk2 manifold, but it was a pain in the ***. The idle got completely fucked up because there was no room for the FITV. I think all the vacuum connections had to be re-routed, so the mechanic used forever on it. There's no coolant running through it so it got superhot, softened up the Hondata heatshield gasket and let coolant into the cylinders. It took me about three times longer to shift gears, and i guess that's because of the shitty idle.

All this just because I have the EDM B16A1

But, yeah. It DID make top end power

After this post I am really haveing second thoughts about this manifold, who has something good to say about it?

 

It was all stock, it only whistle at certin throttle angles.. Don't know whats that about.

My b18c1 does this as well.. I don't really mind it though.

 

the skunk2 mani is basicly the same as an itr intake mani...

 

I thought they flowed better than ITR manifolds?

Not really

The AEBS out performed them both

 

I've had my AEBS almost a year with no troubles. IT improved my throttle response and midrange.

If you have a B16 or B16A2 I believe it's a straight forward bolt on. But if you have the EDM B16A1 it won't fit properly. In other words...it depends on the head (and/or the OBD maybe).

As far as I know B16s didn't come stock with any of your CRXs over there, so the B16s you've got are from '92-&gt; Civics/Del Sols and JDM imports?

 

i have a skunk2 intake mani with a bbk 70mm TB. its nice. idle sucks ***. gets really annoying. sometimes its perfect at a grand but after i crush on it or get the car warm it can get as low as like 200 rmp. o well, mine also makes the wistle sound at certian throttle angles.
