Hey, I have a Edelbrock VICTORX IM on my all motor ITR/GSR and my friend has a SKUNK2 IM on his Turbo GSR.

I have always heard and been told the VICTORX IM is a turbo manifold and the SKUNK2 is basically an ITR IM that fits on a GSR head.

Should I trade MY VICTORX IM for his SKUNK2 IM??? It seems as if it would benefit us both becuase I have seen the VICTORX might be too big for my setup.. any input??

Here is my setup:

JDM ITR BLOCK (stock bore)
GSR HEAD
JUN3 CAMS
skunk2 cam gears
ericks 70mmTB
aem 3" intake
RC310 injectors (are these too small? go 440?)
benen fuel rail
B&M FPR
smsp header


So my questions are

Trade my VictorX for his skunk2 IM??

Get bigger injectors??

TIA - Nick.

 

?????

UP

 

NO

i don't care what just about anyone on this forum says...the Edelbrok is a better manifold

the skunk2 is deisgned wrong and is small

 

yes. i think you should trade with me.lol ill even give ya 50 bucs also.

 

haha id rather not ship and this kid is local.

 

i was just joking. keep the jg, its a better peice, however the you probably wont see anygains between the 2 with as 1.8liter. however 2.0 liter make better power with it. Id stay with the jg.

 

yeah but isnt the VictorX TOO BIG for my setup???

Sell your Victor X to me, i am looking to trying one.

 

Dammit, keep it fool! I told you too!

 

lol but other people are tellin me not too.

i want some damn proof of what to do. like which would be better!!!

 

well, you're not really gonna get any proof.....that is, unless you go to the dyno and swap them out


the edlebrock is a better manifold, period.

A large Plenum makes a small TB /carb act like a large one...

If a Plenum is to large for your engine It will hurt low speed Torqe...

 

Go with a ported ITR manifold
The JG VictorX is good on big bore motors at high rpm or turbo motors. A mild 1.8 will work better with an IM with a smaller plenum with longer runners.

 

soo many mixed views, i dont know what to do, i wish i could dyno with both...

listen to this guy he know what he's talking about

 

I have a GSR head so no ITR mani.

and isnt a skunk2 just a ported ITR mani??

 

I guess i will keep the victorX because everyone is saying go with a skunk2 and port it with an ITR TB portmatched.

which i guess i could do if i sold my ericks TB cause that would free up some money...

any more thoughts??

yeah, it was designed correctly for the b16/type r head.... not for the gsr p72


ever think about the AEBS?

 

nah i hadnt thought of much cause i had this trade, i think il just keep the VictorX and if i change it, il sell it for some homemade ITB's
