Whats this hear about it being single intake runners? if so, anyone know where i could get ahold of one?

 

expensive. no one really imports it as there isn't much demand. it would probably cost $500+. yes, it's a single runner. looks basically like the itr im. it's not a direct bolt-on though. need some modifying.

 

Weren't Son Tran and William Howell playing around w/ these about a year ago? What was the eventual outcome? I remember that every time they thought they had the things figured, something else came up that they needed to modify/fix/replace...

I am working on getting some right now. will let you know when they get here.

 

Sun Dang and William Howell did bring these in. It's not a 100% bolt on install since you'll have to modify some conneciton points and your fuel rail but overall it's decently easy. If you have ever looked at your current intake manifold it does a 90 degree turn, which isn't good for the airflow velocity. Using the Euro-R manifold is a lot better due to it firing almost straight into the head. However, if you're not planning on doing this within the next 6 months, wait for the Skunk2 manifold. That should be even more bolt on than the Euro-R. But since you have an Accord, I'm not sure which would be better for you...

Thanks for the correction - I hadn't seen Sun's name in a while. Do you know how Sun's car finally sorted out?

i believe sun turned his car back to stock and was about to sell it or trade it in.

william howell is turning his car back to stock also. he never actually finished his project. i believe his manifold may still be for sale.

 

are the ones youre getting by any chance coming from steve in cali?

 

I have them for $350 each. Sorry i dont have any of the other parts such as fuel rail.etc. I got the (Accord Type-R) euro manifold a while ago direct from England before they offered the euro-r in Japan. I have since moved on to ITB's. The manifold is not a bolt on deal it requires alot of work to make it work bout the only thing that is bolt on is the bolt pattern. Sun's page is very informative on what needs to be modifed. I personally used a custom RC engineering fuel rail and i custom modifed the injector holes to accept the Large Honda injectors that we are so familiar with. It definitely picked up power. I would wait for the skunk2 manifold. I would put my money on them copying the Euro-r manifold with all the custom mods predone.

 

Hey Prospeed, I have some questions regarding your ITB setup:

1. Are you getting less then 10 mpg on it?
2. How's the noise level with that setup? I was just wondering if the cops would notice the sound right away if they pulled right by my EG.

Thanks.

 

I wouldnt know. My car now is a full race car with the ITB's. I wouldnt recommend it for the street though. If any of you guys plan on running it on the street i recommend running them with a airbox or filter stacks. As far as the noise level the motor sounds like a motorcycle!!!

 

I guess i'll ethier wait for 2point6 to modify them, or i'll wait around for the skunk 2 manifold.

 

You dont have to really wait for anyone Sun has already done it with detailed info. Check it out http://www.purewebsolutions.com/sun/eurorhowto.html

 

It's not so much waiting around for anything, but more so the fact that you actually do have the modify some pieces to get it to fit upon our block. The Skunk2 should be a direct bolt on and have a mild port job upon the IM before in any regard. I don't think my goals take me that high, but I'd personally wait for the Skunk2 esp considering the claims they boast of.

Sorry, I didn't see this one... Yes they are coming from Steve.

 

Man to bad it won't fit in my swap (probably hit the firewall). I need one really bad. I'm running Skunk stage 2 cams. Hopefully Skunk IM will come out soon. And if it don't fit I'll make it fit
