I just came across this performance intake manifold made by obx on ebay. Is this a good product? I have a 1990 dx hatch. What do you think will give me more horses converting my dx to mpfi or upgrading with the obx manifold.? Thanks

 

First the pic doesn't work, 2nd if you are talking about what I asume then you'll be doing MPFI anyway for it.

For a lower cost and just as good if not better gain use a y8 intake mani.

 

Do i just bolt the y8 mani on and go or is there wiring involved ?

there's definitely going to be some wiring involved. you will have to convert to mpfi whether you uses the a6 intake manifold, this obx one, or the y8. you're in the same boat as i am (expletive dpfi).

 

there is wiring involved....search MPFI Swaps

 

DO NOT USE OBX!!!!!!!!!!!! if you read enough and go to http://www.homemadeturbo.com you will see that everyone who used OBX was ripped off. its made by the same company as a couple other brands.. they are listed on homemadeturbo as well.. i would get something worth the money and not off ebay... why buy it twice, when you can spend a lil more now and buy it once.

 

obx im are trash, they break. i rmrmber someone in FI saying they lost hp when they got a obx

Not eveything OBX makes is junk. There are numerous people using their LSD's among other things with no problems. You just have to research whether the product was hit or miss.

The intake manifold though is way too big for pretty much anything.

 

i herd that obx is trash also, but i havent ever actually boughton any thing
