Good for forced induction, not so great for NA. Use an Euro-R manifold if you're going the NA route.

is the euro r manifold just a stock IM for euro vehicles? or is it a performance upgrade?

anyone have dyno sheets comparing this to the US stock IM?

The Euro-R manifold is the manifold used for the H22 in the Accord Euro-R. Search, since this topic has been covered many times.

well after the suggested search, what i've discovered is that the euro-r manifold doesn't bolt right up the h22, at least the IAC doesn't? and the blacktrax is basically just a ported out euro-r? correct me if i'm mistaken.

is there any completely direct bolt on manifold (besides the skunk2) that doesn't suck?

I think the Blacktrax one is actually a ported out USDM manifold

you're right actually. it says 'BTP intake manifolds are factory cores..blah blah blah." didn't see that the first time.

search.

there is a thread on Intake manifolds damn near every ******* week. take some time and find the answers yourself instead of relying on others to find/ give you the answers.

relax. it's really not that serious.

i did search, and i did find some answers. i'm talking about some newer things. for all i know those old posts and old dyno sheets about the skunk2 manifold and so on are outdated, and people may have found better results.

but anyway. i guess i'll hold off and see some new dyno sheets if thats the case. anyone have any luck with the new blacktrax manifold spacer?
