I am looking to doing my d15b7 vtec build. I am really interested in the intake manifold. I guess the top three that I know of is the... Skunk2 / Edelbrock / D16Y8 Stock Manifold. Which do you guys think is the best. Which also have the best results..

.

SKUNK 2


Edelbrock 50 State legal


Stock Y8

 

skunk2 ftw!!!
which i have for sale btw... teehee

 

i heard that the all the aftermarket intake manifolds is the same **** as the y8 one so that be ur best choice nand probly the lowest price to pay.

im not sure if it completly true but thats what i heard

 

SKUNK2

uhh all you have to do is look at the runners and tell that your statement isnt true.

 

the edelbrock i believe has a larger plenum which should help a little in the mid range, but i would go with skunk2 IMO

 

skunk2

 

Everyone says skunk2 is just a copy of the Y8, and that edlebrock is actually better flowing.

 

I would stay budget and pick up a Z6 intake.
But that is just me.

 

Ive had both on my car, and I would def go with the Edelbrock. The Skunk2 requires you to up your fuel pressure, which means later down the road, fuel pump and regulator. The Skunk2 only gives you top end power...like on a highway...but you sacrifice low end punch. The Edelbock however gives you a very solid powerband all the way up to redline.. The Edelbrock is a very nice piece and ALL the sensors are used. Thats the one thing I hated about the Skunk2 was that the IACV is not used and left hanging in the bay, plus you have to "T" off a **** load of vacuum lines and some coolant lines... do what you want tho

 

well also i was reading up on ITB's (Indvidual Throttle Bodies). As in using the CBR 954 TB's, and mocking up a working manifold. I've even heard of a increase from a stock d1y8, with just the ITB's from the CBR 954. Bolted on and jumping from 120+ stock to 140...

 

i think it depends on if you want n/a or forced induction... if forced induction i would go with the edelbrock and n/a i would go skunk 2

 

Edelbrock

Ive used skunk2 and was very stocked with it but have heard many storys saying Edelbrock is the best.

 

get an Si intake manifold. Makes a BIG difference. Skunk2, is the best outta those three.

 

skunk2 imo

 

the edelbrock intake manifold is pretty good i have it on my civic the performer x and is pretty good with a 65 mm throttle body off a b16

uhh theres a place where i can mount an IACV on my skunk2 mani.

 

someone needs to do a dyno of both of them on their car. I think im startin to lead to the edelbrock now

The 92-95 hatch has an SI model. Single cam D series

 

I too have heard lots of good things about the edlebrock. More than the skunk2.

 

yeah i heard the edelbrock was best

 

save your $$ and buy a stock Z6 OR Y8 manifold. who cares about brand loyalty? your gonna need the extra cash to get that civic on the road.

 

i have a skunk2 with a 68mm TB. i have no FITV. it idles higher (900 instead of 700)

and as far as performance...all i could tell is vtec is MUCH louder.

other than that...meh im gonna boost it

 

id say skunk2 if your staying n/a, and edelbrock for being boosted.
