i have a basically stock b16b swap with exhaust and intake, im going to be putting a new intake manifold on, and my 2 choices are the aebs or the skunk2? also 68mm throttle body or 70mm. another thing im putting cams in also are the skunk2 pro series pro 2 cams a good way to go?

 

im all for skunk 2. but thats just my opinion. and im pretty sure the intake port on the S2 mani is only 68mm. so i would do a 68mm TB. unless you want to part the mani to 70. do some research.

 

thanks

 

my opinion the edelbrock performerx

 

Both are too big...

 

I would go with a 65mm throttle body for a mild NA setup and the stock B16B oder B18C Type R intake manifold.
I dont think that there is much a difference between the OEM and Skunk2 manifold.

 

thanks

 

a new intake manifold is pretty pointless without new cams, so don't forget new valve springs.

and i'd sooner let that max bore guy who advertises on her bore out your stock throttle body.

 

thanks

 

What an appreciative guy, always thanking people! I have to agree with the earlier post that 65mm is the biggest you should go. I am also about to install a JDM B16 and have purchased the Performance Products (AEBS) 65mm. It is less than half the cost of the Skunk2, but I will say it kind of had a large lip around the opening that I felt the need to taper and polish so it wouldn't make alot of turbulence on the way in. Took 1/2 hour and save me $150, so it was worth it to me over the other expensive ones. I also went with the AEBS manifold, I think it's more suited to stock motors than the S2 also.

 

AEBS and 65mm is the way to go

 

thanks guys

 

pro2 cams in a stock b16b are too big. pro1's or rm m22's are a better choice.
