as alot of you may know. the z6 manifold looks like this...


and the y8 looks like this



i wanted to know what everyone's thoughts were cause i have heard that the z6 gives you a better top end becuase its a little smaller in size and the y8 give you a better take off cause of more air flow...could this be true. i have both intake manifolds and am currently running and eg on an a6 crx head and block. i'm doing another mini-me swap shortly and wanted to try out the other intake manifold...can some of yall sohc'ers school me a little???

 

does anyone know anything about this...or what im do some of yall perfer...i know...skunk2 huh???

 

For years I've gone by turbo = y8 manifold,,all motor = z6 manifold

but either one is an upgrade so you can't go wrong.

Since you have both maybe you can dyno both and let us know. over here it's about $50 for 3 dyno runs..

i perfer the edlebrock im over the skunk2 for all motor but y8 is the one most people go for but like mr.speaker said go dyno it and let us know

 

In August issue of honda tuning they covered a d16a6 build for honda challenge and they say they tested an a6, z6, and a y8 and the y8 made the most power.

 

Is that a bov on your na motor? If so why???

 

the most as in like a 1 horse difference?

YEP. pretty pointless if you ask me.

 

id rather loose the 1hp and save myself the head ache swaping sensors and such... especially for a Daily Driver
