just looking at it and wondering whats up with it..... if no one has ran it I might get it just to test out. thoughts?

 

has run* = Just a little grammar correction.

To which IM are you referring? Posting a link would be beneficial to all.

 

thanks for the correction, lol. here it is
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-I...Q5fAccessories

 

Wouldnt benefit all motor. It might give a little power on a FI setup....But then again. I'd rather send my stock manifold to Blacktrax to get it worked on...

 

If you're talking about the OBX intake. DONT DO IT. The install sucks! The manifold sits too low. It hits the lower motor mount bracket. grinding required. Fabrication of the throttle cable bracket and all the sensors required. The throttle body interfered with the fan switch. The manifold flange hits the EGR passage on the head. And it killed all my torque. Good power from 8000 rpm to 15000 rpm! LOL But it looked good.

 

Its a POS for sure. OBX doesn't make very good parts in general. I'd avoid buying anything of their make. Euro R or keep your stock one and have it "worked" as mentioned above. Our stock IMs are decent.

 

Euro R hands down.

 

where is the best place to find the euro R and will it work on both the H22 and 23 heads? I will be doing a swap shortly and dont want to have any issues.

 

Euro R does not work for H23 head....like I said. If you want a serious IM for the H23 send it to Blacktrax and have them spec you one out....

 

I love my golden eagle manifold..

 

well I was thinking of getting another 23 mani and porting it and taking out the butterflies, but I am not really into spending money on things I cant use once I get the 22 head swapped on.

 

I don't mean to highjack this but anyone used any of the Sheet metal type manifolds on ebay?

IE this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-01...Q5fCarQ5fParts

I found this one on a diff site:
http://www.advancedjdmparts.com/prod...cat=718&page=1

I personally may just buy the victor x

 

I hate when people post **** thats not even for the engine in question.

 

If you plan on swapping a H22 head on in the future then why bother with an IM for the head you have now?

 

OH my bad I just came over this topic on google, didn't even check.

 

if anything you cant go wrong with a skunk2 pro series manifold, i hear a lot of ppl making good power and u can pick a used one up for 200-300 bucks.

 

Looks like imma look out for a skunk then. Will be porting out mine first just for fun though, lol

 

the skunk2 is an IM geared, again, for NA not boost. just keep that in mind.

i had a similar experience as the guy above with the OBX mani. just do a quick search on here and there's actually a few threads on that OBX/eBay mani. its truly not worth the time and effort to get it working. plus, as was said, its more of a boost friendly IM.

 

I'm not thinking about boosting.... The sol is pretty fast as is, I just need to get it tuned and running the way it should, I will most likely get an LSD pretty soon though. I am planning on making more of a track car out of this than a HP monster. I am hoping for more of a throttle response and acceleration than anything. Can anyone give me a link to a thread or how to for porting the stocker? Can I just remove the IAB's and all the lines to it as a start? Is there any benefit from it at all? I read on some accord forums (dont ask) that it's better to just leave it alone. I would rather take it out if possible though.

 

about 6 months ago i bought the obx manifold just for ***** and giggles because i had a skunk 2 mani and went boost so the manifold fit fine in my car its an excact replica of the venom manifold i took the obx had it ported and bored for my throttle body and i was very surprised to see it pick up power on my motor! i figured what the hell its only 150 bucks but hey it worked for me!!!

 

You still have your old one?!?

 

no i put it in my girlfriends accord

 

How does the IACV bolt onto it? Any pics of the install or of it installed?

 

It bolts onto the back like a b series I have to get down to my garage to take pics

 

Hmmm, anything you don't like about it? is it a pretty straight forward install? good NA IM? would you recommend the skunk2 over it? does the skunk 2 bolt onto the h23 with no problems?
