I bought a skunk2 intake manifold a while ago for my crx h22 swap only to find the runners are too long. I was thinking of modifying it then I saw this on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWD2V

Yes I know the dreaded OBX word but im wondering if anyone has used this succesfully? As it would save me money and I cant think of another alternative for the right price. The runners seem to be an ideal length also.

Thanks

 

from what i have seen/heard that style of manifold will need to be on a beastly engine or seeing plenty of boost to be worthwhile.

 

The OBX is junk you have to modify it to fit....that aint right lol bosses on the fuel rail dont line up either...is your manifold a pro series? or older one? Best bet is to cut down the runners evenly to take out what you need and get it re welded and smoothed out inside. Pretty easy, take out the area that is pretty much straight and no bends....you may be able to take about 1" out...

 

Thanks for the replies. Its a pro series manifold, im guessing I need a tig welder then for alu? If it is alu? The cutting and smoothing I can do myself

I'll take a few measurements next time im in the garage

 

Can someone confirm whether the inlet manifold is alu? Im pretty sure it is im just needing it confirmed before I start hacking it apart.
