I have a jdm b18c which has a blox intake mani, i took the car to get bar'd and the guy noticed that it wasn't the stock intake mani, yet he didn't know what it was from since there is nothing on the intake such as a sticker or imprint saying the company's name. He said he's going to do his research to find out what mani it is but he thinks it's a ITR mani, which if he thinks that then i should be fine for getting it bar'd then. But if he finds out it's a blox intake i have to replace the mani before i can get it.

So my question is, is there any definate way of telling the difference between an ITR intake mani and a GSR blox intake mani? Thanks.

 

if it's a gsr head, you need the gsr intake manifold, cause it looks totally different than blox ones, you have no chance of passing

I know it looks totatlly different but if it looks like a ITR though and there's no way of telling the difference then i can pass with it.

not to be an ***
but has it ever crossed your mind to look for a picture of one?
you do realize the internet is full of people with photos of their engine bays, and you could simply answer your question using google.

Listen dipshit, already did that trust me, i think i would know to search before asking but NONE of the pictures look any different which is why i'm asking this question. I'm asking if there is anything that definately makes it either an ITR intake mani or a gsr blox intake....like markings or whatnot. If you don't know then don't post. Don't say well the blox has a marking possibly....if you aren't sure then don't post.

what motor are you trying to bar? if it's a b18c1, and you're trying to pass it off as a type-r, not gonna work since it's gonna be considered a hybrid

but if you're trying to bar a b18c5 block, they can tell it's a gsr head by looking at the P72 stamp, so you're fucked either way

bar officals know their ****, it's their JOB to know this ****, so dont think you can pull a fast one on them, they're not stupid

I'm trying to pass a jdm b18c, why wouldn't it work with a ITR mani? What would it be any different adding a skunk2 intake mani? Cuz if it was a skunk2 he already told me that'd be no problem. He isn't even sure himself whether it was a gsr or type r head (so yea they know their **** but apparently not THAT well otherwise he'd know that the type r head is a pr3 not a p72.

cause a blox intake manifold isn't carb legal

lol are you even reading?...I SAID that according to all the picture i have looked at the blox intake mani and the type r mani look EXACTLY the same...But i wanted to find out for sure if there were any markings on the itr that defined it as an ITR mani. If there isn't then i can just tell the guy it's a ITR mani and show him the pics proving it. But if there's a marking making it impossible for me to say that the blox was the ITR then there's no point in me doing that.

if you put a blox intake manifold and a itr intake mani, it doesn't look the same haha, there are slight differences

go ahead smart guy show me the difference then.


Here they are

ITR mani


gsr blox intake mani

 

it could also be a 1st generation Skunk2 manifold they were modeled after teh ITR manifold. here is a pic of mine its a skunk2.


here is a how-to installing this same manifold notice the part# locations.

well one of the most obvious is where the fuel rail bolts up to

the ITR one has studs and uses a 10mm nut to hold it on

aftermarket intake manifolds like blox or skunk2 use a 10mm bolt



there are more differences but im done with your thread

Nice, see and that is carb legal...is there a way to get a carb sticker to put on my mani to make it "carb legal" If i just prove to him that it's either an ITR or skunk2 mani then i will pass my bar.

 

If the ref can't read the stamp on the head and tell what's up, he's not going to notice the absence of a nut and presence of a bolt.... I mean, nothing is missing, what would tip the ref off? I'm pretty sure that he's looking for NOTICABLE differences, not choice of fasteners, which I'm also pretty sure won't keep you from being bar'ed.

 

i'm almost positive that you'll have to A.) Purchase new 3 new studs + nuts or B.) Re-use you're old ones...it's not THAT hard to take them off and reinstall. 8)

 

+1 on the stud/nut reuse..

if you think having a manifold like mine will make you pass the bar im selling mine for $120 i dont have an under the hood sticker though.

well until someone tells me a way to identify for SURE how you can tell the difference such as a certain marking then i should be able to pass with this blox intake mani. It looks just like the ITR and the older skunk2. As long as i take these pictures for proof then i am good.

 

since its a gsr it shouldnt it be a p72 head? Since its a p72 head the type R intake will not bolt up since it only fits pr3 heads (b16/type r) So you have either a blox or first gen skunk2...not an ITR manifold because it will NOT bolt to the head

reading comprehension owns you. I never stated it was an ITR manifold...I know it's a skunk2 that wasn't what i was asking for in my post. I was asking for marks that will identify which one it is.
