what do you guys think the best intake manifold set up for a all motor car, would a itr intake manifold fit on a gsr or should i just leave it stock

 

you can get a Blox or skunk2 intake manifold its alot better than stock in my opinion i have the blox mani on my gsr

 

ITR won't bolt up without modifying it. Bolt pattern is way different.

 

ya gsr is diff. but a blox or sknunk2 is same if not better than type r so doesnt matter what you get as long as u get rid of the crappy stock gsr manifold(my opinion)when you order a blox or s2 mani you need to get for gsr

 

if you want to retain some midrange power, keep the stock manifold. if you want to make power higher up, a skunk2/blox/aebs or edelbrock performer x are better suited.

the "best" manifold would be a custom piece designed for your specific engine.

 

is a blox intake manifold a really good compare to skunk2

 

i mean they are pretty much the same just diff brand name but blox has worked great for me in the past as well but skunk2 is great as well just its alot more expensive i got my blox for $150 shipped as the skunk2 is near $200 ISH

 

should i upgrade the throttle body

 

you cud wont do any harm but if you go a lot bigger you need to bore out the im where the tb goes

 

i have skunk2 intake manifold and skunk2 throttle body 68mm and its real nice. So much faster, but eats alot of gas tho. I been taking out alot of cars, like mustang gt, 5.0 mustang, turbo fc rx7, and preludes on the highway doing about 140mph.

 

Take a look at this. Some information about a stock manifold.

Also keep in mind if you do not build up your engine, higher compression and bigger cams you will have a signification loss in power in your mid range with a single runner intake.

 

GSR manifold differs from any of its b series counterparts, so no bolt up for the ITR mani. From what I've heard, the Blox mani is popular and makes good numbers for the price.

 

What ecu are you guys using when swapping the manifolds on a GSR motor? What about the IAB that the ECU is looking for?

 

what do you run 1/4 mile?

 

yeah i want to know the same thing!!! what is your 1/4 time and trap speed? what year mustang GT did you beat??

Trippin..with just those mods, you've only gained maybe 5hp untuned...if that! Also, if you're still running the stock gsr ecu, then your car will bog in vtec at 4400 rpm and won't create any actual power until 6k rpm.

As already mentioned, the itr manifold will not bolt onto the p72 gsr head. If you did want to upgrade your intake manifold, blox is the best option for the price. But it really isn't beneficial unless you upgrade your cams/build your head and or bottom end. Even then, tuning your ecu is KEY to get the most power out of your motor.

I have the skunk2 IM (would've got the blox, but skunk2 and jg were the only options at the time)...i have the manifold, ctr intake cam, i/h/e, and tuned my own ecu... car made 167 whp and 132 lbs of torque on the dyno. I also ran a 14.55 with full interior.

Out of curiosity, what tire pressure are you running?

The P72 does not look for a return signal for the IAB.

 

I would go with blox imtake manifold and 70mm throttle bodie. Thats just my opinion since your looking into getting the manifold.

 

well, what are you running 1/4 mile, and what other mods do you have to beat GT's? I wanna know cause I got a neighbor who gots a 2005 GT that I love to bash on.

So We/I can swap to an Skunk2 intake manifold without the ECU throwing a code for missing IAB?

 

ITR wont fit the gsr head. bolt pattern is different. but skunk2 is pretty good.

 

People you need to read all the posts, this mod isn't a good one to start with. It would be better to get cams or pisotons, or anything else other than the IM. The gsr IM isn't crappy, it does a great job of what it is supposed to do. Also as mentioned, an after market IM (blox, skunk2) will only make power at high rpms. To see a results to adding this part you will need to do significant work to your motor and to your wallet. do whatever you want tho, don't say people didn't try to help

 

Didnt listen to people about the loss of midrange power before I put my skunk2 on, and now I get it. You will, without a doubt, experience a horrible low/midrange power when you put a single runner IM on. GSR's are not meant to run with a single runner, and if you do decide to put one on, you should look into doing some serious head work first. Save your money, put some cams or pistons in it first, then worry about your intake manifold.

Now, I do have a question. For those using the skunk2/blox/etc, if I throw on a 70mm TB would I notice anytype of difference, or it would be so unnoticiable that its pointless?

I think the problem with the skunk2 IM is that you are getting to much air. Adding a TB would only make you get more air, so i don't know how that would help? I would take your advise and plan on head work or pistons/cams. Up to you tho. again i could be wrong

That makes sense, I just contradicted myself. Hahah, that is why we all ask questions. Thanks man
