I have a modified AEM CAI that is no longer really an CAI (I'll take a pic later so you knwo what I mean).

I've read that with the skunk 2, or really any single runner IM for the GSR, the intake pipeing (say AEM CAI) won't work or fits poorly.

What have you guys done?
Buy an ITR intake? Or modify what you have?
Or do you just deal w/the crappy fitment?

I've bought a Skunk 2 IM and I'm getting all my ducks in a row to install it and ITR cams on my GSR and get it dyno'ed and tuned! I can't wait!!!

**Edit**
All I lack now is the headgasket and the other misc gaskets I need for the top end!!! I'm so freakin stoked

I got an ITR intake id trade you straight up for if you dont like the fitment

 

Alright.. I'd do that.

Have you seen how a CAI fit's or a SRI fits, built for a GSR but used on a Skunk 2 IM?

Oh and I've got up w/max.. Great guy I'm gonna have him do my tuning at the dyno in town

 

Surely there are a bunch of pple w/single runner IM's on their GSR!

 

ive seen a short ram, looked funny though. i just bought an itr intake

nice..also yea Ive seen how they fit, the TB location is in the LS/ITR location...Like I said I got an AEM CAI and a Ebay CAI both ITR that i'd trade you one for cause Im using a dual stage manifold

 

I have a skunk2IM with an EBay SRI and there are no fitment issues.

 

If the intake is for a GS-R then it's going to curve/bend downward to mate up to the GS-R's lower throttle body location. If you use an aftermarket intake manifold and a GS-R intake, you will probably have problems like the intake hitting the hood or something, because the throttle body is much higher than it was with the stock GS-R manifold.

Don't try to ghetto-rig a GS-R intake onto an aftermarket single-runner intake manifold. Do it right and get an LS or ITR intake.

Blasphmey!!! Ghetto rigging is the only way to go!

Actually Memphis.. I'll trade w/you. Whenver I get this done I'll get up w/ya.

Sound like a paln?

 

yea thats fine...lemme know whenever

 

Glad you dedcided not to ghetto rig it! I went with stock itr to Comptech Icebox when I got my blox im installed. Why not go some more aggressive cams ? You know you will be wanting more sooner or later!

 

Because I don't have the CR to make the best use of hotter cams.. It woudl be a waste. Not to mention I"d have to spend at least another $200.00 on so-so valve springs to take em.

ANd I can always sell these and buy bigger cams leter if/when I decide to rebuild.

This should keep me happy.. I"ll have a real nice lil setup I believe.. I'm shootin for high 160's to the ground. I think thats pheasable.
