Whats Up Guys Haven't Posted in a while Since my last Set -up was Stolen from Me! 8(

I had Type R Head with a GSR Block that i had & b16 Tranny, Built it one day and left it out over night in my driveway for an early A.M. Install but when i woke up it was gone!

If any one sees a Type R looking Motor with a Chopped off Engine Badge and a brand new Type r valve cover let me know so i can start dumping bodies in the Anacostia River. $6000 down the drain

But Moving on to my QUESTION......

i GOT A JDM B16A LSD and want to Upgrade the Intake Manifold, But i don't know which Model would make the most power?

I was going to go with a stock type r

but "I WAS TOLD " the AEBS one is a little better cause the ports are longer on the #2 CYL. and it can increase some Torque.

Well give me some Advice / Opinions so i can narrow down my option

Money isn't really an issue cause i haven't seen any over $350

Thanks!

 

full-race, but thats slightly over 350

 

I am going with a Blox/ITR/Skunk2 manifold. IMO they are basically the same design and should work well for you. And also save you some money.

 

aebs typhoon intake mani is good and price is nice too i bought mine frm sum kid for 60 bucks who thought it would fit his d series....

 

i can guarantee the full race mani will out perform all the ones listed

 

i think the carbon fiber ones work really well. maybe not as well as the full race one, but if i had a choice i'd so get a cf manifold.

 

In the book "How to Build Honda Horsepower" by Richard Holdener several intake manifolds were tested on a B16A engine. The stock intake manifold out performed the ITR and the "old" Skunk2 intake. So unless you have a camed and high compression engine the factory intake would probably perform the best.

Engine building is all about the proper combination. The Full-Race intake looks like it was designed for a higher HP application. It would probably not perform well on a B16A with bolt ons.

Amen brotha.

Unless you have more than the basic bolt ons, an intake manifold shouldn't even be considered for the B16. You could gain power with other upgrades, and get more bang for your buck.

 

Do independent throttle bodies make more power on a bolt on car, or do you have to have a high-comp motor already built?

IMO, you should have a good bump in compression and a set of decent cams before adding ITB's.

 

The B16 made more power than the ITR one only in the mid range. The ITR made more power from 6k and up I believe.

If you plan to rev to 9k maybe an AEBS or ITR would suit you better.

 

"With the exception of a few points along the curve, the B16A lost power all the way to 8,000 rpm with the Type-R intake(compared to the B16A intake)." Richard Holdener stated in his article titled To R is Human comparing the B16A intake to the B18C5 intake manifold on a B16A with AEM short CAI, APEXi header, and Mugen ECU.

On a 200hp NA B16A the ITR intake would probably offer an advantage. See intertuners build. http://www.intertune.tv/parts_list1.html

Individual throttle bodies theoretically could make more power on a B16A if they were properly sized. Most aftermarket ITB are too large in diameter and too short in length to offer any improvements on a bolt-on equipped B16A.

 

The OEM b16 manifold is actually pretty good from the factory.

I wouldn't advise changing it out unless you have some aftermarket cams or are going with forced induction.

In any case in terms of money/performance, the AEBS is the best.
