I got a question how much hp gane should expect with a skunk 2 manifold and a aem cai?? on a 95 GSR

 

Are those your only two mods? These things don't just add to one another -- they work off of one another. If you don't have any head work, much less exhaust work, I don't see an IM helping at all.

For your first mod a CAI is a good start, but save the IM for later.

 

yeah i got a 97 gsr and i bought it completly stock and my first mod was a skunk2 intake manfold and a cold air intake. and ill tell you what VTEC will kick in a lot harder and hear it FOR SURE. Its worth it. get it.

 

It will get you up to ONE MILLION HORSES!

*Thud.

Depends on what you already have done to the car? Pistons? Cams ? Cam Gears ? Head Work ? Bottom end ?

More info will help.

 

The reason VTEC kicks in 'harder' is because you lose the breathing advantages of long intake runners on your primary cam profiles. Try plugging the IAB hose with a screw on a stock GS-R intake and you'll observe the same effect.

The reality is that you may not have gained any high end, but instead lost low end. This makes the transition to the high end more noticeable, hence an 'improvement' on the butt dyno. The GS-R IM is great for mild builds and it has the inherent advantage of having dual length runners. I'd say that unless you are planning on a high-breathing build in the near future you should skip the IM for now. You'll get a much better performance improvement from a header or high flow cat, for example.

 

It wont do much might feel pull harder that's all but no major upgrade no need for it yet.

 

i have a 95 gsr, jdm b18c, all stock internals, with just short ram, dc header, apexi WS exhaust, i ran a 15.6 in the quarter- this was a very consistent time, ran it probably 7-8 times at the track, i changed to a skunk2 pro series manifold and started running consistent 15.1's...

 

If the VTEC is kicking harder, it isn't tuned correctly. VTEC should be heard, not felt.

 

Wait on the Skunk 2 Manifold get your other basic bolt ons, then get some itr cams port your head then get your IM

 

If thats the case, i need a tune, because i can hear mine and feel a slight pickup in power at the same time.

 

A slight pickup is fine. A step function is not.
