just picked up my skunk2 manifold today and im wondering those who have the manifold on their car had a hard time installing it? do i also need a new throttle cable? my web is having hard time opening up pages so does someone have a link to a thread on installing the manifold....i cant search its giving me "cannot find page."

 

its a easy job, just rember to take the im bracket off.

 

anyone know anything about using stock throttle cable or using a different one?

 

I was able to reuse the stock cable and even the top mounting area on my 2000 GSR. Just clears the hood. The hardest part is getting the old many off. Make sure you get the Hondata gasket for it as well.

 

Its generally recommended that you switch to a ITR cable and bracket....ofcourse then you have to switch to the side pull throttle body (LS, B16 or ITR). You can also just switch out pulleys on your GSR TB. Some people get away with running the stock GSR setup, others do not. I dont have a link to a decent write-up anymore though.

 

i have brand new oem honda gasket and throttle body gasket is that any good or should i buy hondata?

 

Hondata gasket isnt going to make a huge difference.

 

the stock gsr throttle cable bracket will rub against the oem strut bar. ur gonna have to take off ur strut bar until u get the itr bracket, cable, and a new pulley. otherwise it all fits ok.


and yes. your aem cai will fit

 

Check the install how-to in my signature. The BLOX IM install should be similiar to the Skunk2 i would think.

 

My throttle cable barely touches the hood

 

Not A Bad Install, The Hardest Part Is The Damn I.M. Bracket. Get The Type R Cable And Bracket, I Just Bought New OEM Parts From Acura For A '01 ITR. It Was Pretty Cheap. It Makes The Whole Thing Look Really Clean, Like A Factory Install

 

yeah, just get a new OEM itr throttle cable and bracket. you'll need a new throttle body pulley too. but you can get that off any car. i would recommend a hondata IM gasket it too. it helps the passwordjdm one is actually cheaper, same style. it's a good idea to switch to a p28 as well.

you'll need some jdm hands to have good reach

yeah i already bought a p28 ecu im just waiting to install the intake manifold. you know what rpm the p28 ecu vtec engages and what the limiter is?

 

i'm not too sure. it would just be the z6 settings. you should get the p28 chipped and run some kind of basemap according to your mods.

 

u know what. i got a chipped p28 when i did my sk2. and i didnt feel a damn thing performance wise. $275 for a chip and a harness for maybe 1hp. just reconsider it.

your butt dyno might need recalibrating. lol it's just for "function" purposes. you dont "have to"...but it's good to for the long run.

 

yeah i guess. ijust remember feeling nothing for power, but pay more for gas. i said expletive this im getting my $$$ back... this was when gas was $3.30 a gal.

 

i think the most tediuos part was my intake mani gasket that was stuck on there..... took like an hour scraping it off!!! had it chiped p28 to go with it and top end more noticeable

what rpm does your vtec hit with the p28?

 

5300 with redline of 8400

 

do u gouys have a clear pic of the trottle cable bracket????i just need to see it to tell if i got the right one from the junk yard

 

i got mine Bnew from http://www.acuraoemparts.com under 2001 integra type R

 

my jun chipped p28 hit at 6k and was sick!!!!!!!!

 

use ur stock one.

 

if u decide to use the hondata gasket with that mainfold u will need to replace your studs to longer ones, becasue the mainfold will not bolt on, cause it becomes too think so the bolts will not bolt on enough
