Ok im about to invest in an intake manifold (recent track trip proved my car needs more power.) and im wondering if anyone has seen a head to head comparison of diffrent intakes on a b16. i would like to get some mid/high range power without sacrificing the low end. TIA - Joe

 

haha.. b16a doesnt have any "low end".. you need to keep it above 6k.
get the ITR manifold, it's cheaper and of better quality.

 

i know thats my problem i want somthing that MIGHT get some power in the mid range.
yea i was leaning twords the itr manifold. you know, oem quality.
and i used to live in santa clarita i miss it.

 

Put a GSR head an OEM intake manifold on a B16a... and make mad mid range

 

haha then i need gsr ecu and to run wires
not worth the trouble.

 

kamin.. ive done the b16a w/ gsr head/manifold thing.. it feels like crap!

you miss SCV?.. where the hell you move to.. PALMDALE???! haha

 

oh duh.. Tuscon.. nm

 

haha tucson is worse than palmdale
trust me.
so itr manifold seems to be the way? anyone got dyno numbers?
thanks again.

 

thought skunk was a copy of the itr for $100 more

 

Bambino, don't be a fool. Get the Skunk2. Anyone who's owned an ITR im and the Skunk2 will tell you.

 

The skunk2 IM and ITR IM are pretty much the same thing. The main difference is you can't fit a ITR IM on your B18C head without modifications so you would use the Skunk2 for your GSR. The ITR manifold bolts right up to your B16 head. So get the Type R Intake Manifold for your B16.

 

oh.. is that right?.. thanks for that knowledge sir..
you clearly know your ****.. lol

 

I would just go with the ITR. The Skunk2's manifold casting looks hella cheap. If you can get them to both generate the same amount of power just go with the OEM ITR!!!!

 

i heard skunk2 is base around the ITR and is bore out.......i remember seeing some dyno that skunk2 did perform better than ITR not sure on which block......correct me if im wrong

 

does anyone elses skunk2 manifold whistle at low end??

 

The manifold shouldn't whistle. Sounds like you got a leak somewhere.


Yes, the S2 ITR manifold flows a little better than the factory ITR unit.

 

mine whistles at wide open.

 

it shouldnt whistle period.
thats a vacume leak.

 

everyone else that i know that has one theres whistles just a little bit also, so i dunno, ill check on the vacume leaks though

 

Hey guys i know the gsr manifold is very restrictive, but if he has the b16 manifold why not pick up some ITR cams instead. Also with the skunk manifold wont he need to get a type r CAI, just something to think about.

 

The stock b16 manifold will give you more low/mid range power because of its longer runners. Whoever said get new cams has the right idea. If anything get a ctr intake cam and tune it. What are your current mods? Might want to try a 4-2-1 header or an aem cai. Depends how much $ you're willing to dish out.

 

itr manifold

 

I just got a S2 IM for my B18C. As you can see, I only have I/H/E for my go mods. I'm going to install it soon and I was wondering if i'll lose ALOT of low end power. I know I'll be making power from 5k and up, but I'm a bit worried I might lose alot on the bottom end.

I'm willing to sacrifice some low end power to gain up top, but if I'll be losing too much low end, then I might change my mind, so HELP ME OUT folks! Thanks!

 

Thanks dick

Why the hell would Skunk2 create an exact duplicate of the ITR intake manifold?

 

Skunk said its even based off the ITR manifold.
