Hi I was wondering what IM are u guys using for your H22's
and can someone tell if the new skunk2 pro series IM for H22's are any good


thanks

 

There aren't really any proven off the shelf manifolds for N/A H22s. Your best bet would be the Euro R mani off of the Accord Euro R ($250-275) or have a sheet metal mani made custom for your application

 

you can get a euro r mani from hmotorsonline for 225 shipped

 

I'm getting a euro-r. Don't get the skunk2 unless you can live w/no torque below 4k. Trust me, i have it...that's why i'm moving up to the Euro-R.
Euro R>Skunk2

 

If you have a stock H22 or near stock H22, its a waste of money to buy an aftermarket intake manifold. I swear ive said this like a week ago in another thread.

Most aftermarket manifolds are made for forced induction or nitrous. The skunk2 manifold was designed for huge cams and lots of air flow and would probably show better results on a turbo application has it has a rather large plenium.. Unfortunatly even with huge cams and lots of airflow ( JUN cams ) it still performed like ***, and the stock manifold port matched would have done better. Keep your IABs, Keep your lowend, and invest in a good header, exhuast system, and some cams and valvetrain.

 

stick to stock until something actually worth paying for comes out.

 

thanks guys

 

you guys are nuts! I put the skunk2 manifold on my car along with there exhaust, and it was a NIGHT and day difference. those 2 mods not only added a crap load of horses, but made the car sound like a beast too. I have a guy that did the same one on his too and LOVES it... so my over all view... i LOVE the skunk2 one.

 

butt dyno does not count

its been proven to be shitty. I made 6whp with it.....and it was all peak power.

 

Extrude Honed. It would probably be cheaper to just get the Euro R, though.

 

I just bought they skunk2 IM because this shop owner that does real good work said it was a good mod for a h22 as far as boltons I hear a lot of negative more than positive info..I'd like to hear from someone who actually HAS one not what you've heard cause that means nothin get someone who actually has one to give their opinion

whats wrong with gaining 6 whp anyways? its not like you lost some.

 

I have flowed the skunk2 on my flow bench. I have flowed it while atatched to a ported head....I have fllowed it wth the S@ 68mm TB on the manifold and I have flowed the whole intake system including the AEM V2 intake.....nice results really.
I also have this car running and I have to say, it is performing real well.
It will soon be dyno'd an a mustand as well as a dynojet dyno to get some numbers from it.
I don't think this manifold is designed to bolt on a stock h22 and make 50hp more, the gains are progressive....bigger cams, proper headwork and such.....etc etc

 

my bottom end and midrange sucked. Really, the only difference it made was from 6500 to redline. I dont want a peaky car, i want a car full of midrange AND top end.

IMO, its like buying a DC header...everyone has their opinions tho.

 

its all in the setup, this customer car I have here sure is impressing me in mid range torque, and I am very hard to impress....flat torque curve all the way to 8000 R's
this car has a preety big head and cam to work in concert with the intake manifold.

that may be so, but it sure as hell wasnt made to go on a stock motor. And by the time i had a built motor, an IM wouldnt even be in my setup. Thats cool news tho. I'm sure your headwork has alot to do with his midrange.
