I have a gsr swap in my eh2 and i didnt have the vacuum box on the back of the block to make the butterflys in the gsr manifold work right so i got a aluminum sheetmetal intake manifold. it gave me more power throughout the whole powerband but it still feels sluggish??? i have perfect compression ect.. and the motors solid.

When vtec enguages i can hear it but i doesnt have the pull like it does when i hits 6k-8k. pulls really hard then.

I was wondering if i ran another ecu if it would get rid of the problems in my mid range. im thinkin that the virgin p72 ecu i have now still thinks that the manifold is on there.

Im thinkin about a chipped p28 or even a virgin pr3... whatcha think???? THANK

Usually an IM is sort of pointless unless you have different cams

 

says who?

 

Tuning will help.

 

exactly

 

tuning wasnt the answer i was looking for.... of course tuning will help back to the question. and im not tuning my car just with an intake manifold

then get used to it being slow.

 

Your engine is a glorified air pump man, if you're going to get a bigger IM to allow it to inhale better, then you need to increase a lot of other things to allow the IM to function properly with the rest of the engine. dear lord where is this forum going
