My bro has a 92 lude h23 and cant seem to find and aftermarket IM
could anyone lead us in the direction on where to find one and also he was wondering about an itb set up is there one out there?


Thanks in advance

 

Aftermarket IM for what reason?

You would have to make your own ITBs for an H23 head, no one makes them.

 

theres currently not an im on the car and he wanted somthing a little bit better than oe

 

Take an OEM one and do a Port and Polish on one, its just as good, if not better than other OEM IMs.

From what Im told, I have no Dyno Sheets to provide proof. Just that most after market IM's are not Carb approved. And wont pass inspection. Espically being that Im in NJ.

OK, better for what? You really can't just call parts 'better' or 'worse'....some IMs are for forced induction, some are for high rpm NA builds, etc...

that is probably the best solution for the h23

 

well if you show me a site where i can get an aftermarket IM im sure he can decide for himself what he wants (if not well just go with an oe one)
hes not going for boost its going to be a DD and he just wants a few more ponies

Then there are no options for his setup. He might P&P the stock manifold, but the only aftermarket H23 manifolds are for forced induction. Blacktrax does good work modifying stock manifolds if you want to look into that.

It will be VERY hard to get any more HP from just modifying an H23 intake manifold.
