hello fellow HT gurus. need your advice on whether to get the skunk2 pro IM for my jdm b18c motor or just stick with the stock type R one. right now i have skunk2 pro 1 camshafts in it. was wondering if the skunk2 pro IM would help powerband.

 

go with blox racing it cheaper skunk2

 

Isnt the blox and sk2 replicated to be like the type R IM?

 

The skunk pro manifold is alot better than the blox or the type r. The blox is supposed to be a near copy of the type r. The original skunk manifold is even better than the blox!! Blox sucks!!

 

is you motor built?

 

stock block with just the camshafts i/h/e. just wanna know if i can get more hp out of an aftermarket IM.

 

i think you'd be fine with a type r.

or course thats not true at all. the runners on the blox are actually larger than the skunk, and the blox will make more top end than the skunk manifold will.

sorry i may have interpreted an email incorrectly.

this is an email i got from a company regarding having my blox manifold ported.

exept runner entry work and port matching on 1.8 liter applications. We do
"clean-up" the entire runner during the process, but we don't add much to
their cross-sections, as they are already fairly generous from Blox</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

And they said the Skunk Pro was smaller? If so I missed it in that E-mail. Pic's would be good when YOU compared them.

 

I have the skunk2 pro manifold on. No complains and it makes good power in the high end.

the blox manifold does suck. my friend had one on his gsr hatch, and could barely feel anything, i have a skunk2 pro intake manifold on my b16a with also a 68mm tb from skunk2, and LOVE IT. LOVVVVVVVE IT.

you can feel it pull sooo much harder.

skunk2 intake manifold, no questions asked.

i suggest though, get the skunk manifold and the tb, will feel sooo much more. i would put there manifold on any car. they did great!!

 

I should take your advice with the skunk2 tb. I have the pro series mated on to a stock gsr tb.

 

get the blox i heard its a little better then the skunk2 and it runs for about $150-180.

 

the blox isnt better than the skunk2, my friend had a gsr hatch, and barely felt anything...its only lighter

 

Stick with the type-r, the skunk 2 is built to match the type-r. Just send out your TB and IM and have them match bored to whatever millimeter is gonna best suit your set up. Visit http://www.maxbore.com they do really nice work and its cheap

 

JASMA or naught.

 

are you running a jdm gsr or itr swap?

if its the gsr he cant run the r manifold...

 

I have skunk2 and i like it.

 

I'd put the money towards a JG...

yea actually i just found an old thread not to long ago. it test the performer x against other IM. and it blew them all away. mind you this is on a fairly built motor. perfomer x just doesnt look as nice as the skunk2 IM... i have a b18c-R by the way. stock for now but will be putting in skunk2 pro 1s VERY soon. just wondering what IM would be best suited for this setup
