So I brought a used skunk2 manifold from another ht member. He said that it is the older model, before the pro series, which I didn't mind. I also brought an ITR tb to match with the manifold. Here's pics:

ITR TB:


To my suprise when I put my itr tb on, there is what I found:


The ports on the tb and the mani are mis-aligned! wtf! so now I have a few questions:

1) Is the manifold in fact, a real skunk2 manifold?
2) Anyone else had this problem?
3) Should I grind the manifold ports to make it even? This will make the port on the manifold kinda of an odd oval shape.

im no expert but i would say grin the mani!!

 

Isn't that why you have to get the manifold port matched...?

 

yeah but the skunk2 manifold should allow fitment of a 70mm tb. the itr is 62 mm it should already bolt up directly without having to do any port matching.

 

oooo, true. Hmm, thats weird. I don't know. Maybe its a B16 manifold. I can't tell

 

doesn't look like a b16... def. not a gsr either. should I send the pics to skunk2 and see if they'll give me a new pro-series? lol
