was wondering if anyone has ever tried the ebay intake manifold? looks exactly like s2 or blox. i know ebay and how they are junk but its just an intake right? no moving parts or anything. and for half the price. heres a link. any reviews on it? i know u get what u pay for but sometimes your also lucky

http://www.ebay.com/itm/CIVIC-INTEGRA-B18-GSR-VTEC-PERFORMANCE-INTAKE-MANIFOLD-/280720712546?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item415c422362&vxp=mtr

 

NO that's not the point fitmeant issues along with poor quality are the problem with e-bay parts. they either break,don't fit right or do both

 

I wouldent use it but hey....port match it
Why not just use your stock one? The ITR throttle cable bracket will cost more then the manifold lmao..

 

i got a gsr head.. not an itr. and i was gonna get a 68mm tb and port match it. but im not spending 400$ on a s2 mani lol

 

and because the snail manifold sucks ***.

 

You'll need a diff bracket to run another t/b is what he's saying- I'm using l/s cable bracket on my s2 manifold- take a look@ S2website. Near bottom is the imitator section. They actually bought a knock off and show the differences(plural). If you choose to get imposter, lotsa luck. 68mm is pretty big if no headwork/valvetrain. 60-65 fits most if not all bseries apps(n/a)
Edit, you'll lose a lot of bottom w/stock bottom end and S2 man. I'm ok, I've got 10.9c/r

 

Why not just save a bit and get a good name brand it's only 100 more for the S2 one. as S2bumpsticksgsr pointed out look at the S2 website the fake one is **** for many reasons fitmeant being the main one.

 

Calling Junk2 "good name brand" is beyond comical. Thanks for the laugh, guys.

 

+1

 

Elaborate how that is so....what factual info do you have to back that up? Or is that solely personal opinion?

 

multiple dynos have proven that the snail isnt as good as say even a stock pr3 type manifold. not only is it also my opinion but many others as well.

 

i do need to know if i do upgrade to s2 or blox, would i have to use b16/type r throttle cable and bracket? and what tb? i read where i would need a non gsr throttle pulley. so wouldnt it just make sense to order an ls tb since im upgrading anyways

 

Those guys deff don't like S2 manifold, don't bother arguing w/them trust me I know.
Anyway, the l/s cable works fine, that's what I run. Make sure to get the cable bracket on manifold for whichever cable you go with. If you're super picky, my bracket is only using 1of2 bolts (b/c its not technically the correct bracket- who cares?) And had to bend it the slightest bit.
You can use the throttle cable piece(on t/b w/nut holding it on) from an l/s on your gsr t/b or use l/s t/b. Just so you know, the snail makes more torque before vtec on stock eng (10.0c/r). The only gain in swap is on top end, actually a loss on bottom

 

i will take that into condersation s2bumpsticks. i believe theres an ls cable and tb on it now. considering the way the guy before me who had the car ran it. he ran it under the manifold. and theres play in my gas pedal before it grabs.

 

The rs/ls runstraight out firewall and on top of manifold like the typer, pulling the opposite direction of gsr. That's why cable plate needs switched, to open opposite. I changed t/b and don't have my gsr t/b to look at, but, it might be possible to turn cable plate around?- not sure. Can deff switch to l/s plate, my buddy did on his gsr swap(aftermarket manifold) del sol.
Edit- you def have a gsr cable if its long enough to go under, then back up and still have play- the others are way too short to do that(about 8-10in shorter if I remember right)

 

Why people alter manifolds and make mods past the TB without tuning is beyond me...

 

Why people talk trash about someone when they know not of what he/she plans is beyond me...

 

Okay. Understand. There is no such thing as The Ebay intake manifold. That is just one of many unbranded knock-off intake manifolds available on Ebay imported from China.

Trying to get a review on it? Good luck. If I were you I would have just bought it, tried it out and then gone from there. If it worked? Great. If it sucked? Sell it to someone else with a Kool-Aid budget and champagne tastes.

I don't know what you're expecting for $135.

And 21 people seem to have taken a chance on it according to the Ebay auction.

 

Thats a good one.

Kool-aid is still kind of expensive...


I put that intake in the "Tang" category...

 

I am thinking about purchasing a Skunk2 Pro Intake Manifold+70mm Throttle Body 88-00 Honda... My question is should I do one with a smaller Throttle Body since I don't have any major mods to the car? The only mods I have done is a header,exahust system, and a air intake. Also should I go ahead and install new fuel injectors at the same time.

 

Start your own thread. This thread really has nothing to do with Skunk2 manifolds. They were only mentioned. And if your engine is pretty much stock all you're doing is wasting money.

 

If you want an ok name brand mani try bwr OR find a used one

 

I do see why you go by the grumpiest!!! I was only trying to figure out one simple thing and that was since my engine is mainly stock and I wanted to upgrade my Throttle Body and Intake is a 70mm Throttle Body to big, and maybe some real insights on the matter. However I will take your advice and start my own thread to get me some real and down to earth answers. I thank you for your insight though...

 

Upgrading a throttle body and intake manifold and injectors on a stock motor is supposed to do what exactly? Nothing. In fact you will see worse performance. Know about what the parts do and how they work together and how they are going to perform on your engine BEFORE you buy even one part.

Naturally Aspirated modifications doesn't o a D-series engine is an absolute waste of time unless you;re willing to also purchase proper engine management and then get the whole thing tuned.

Also, thread jacking is absolutely rude and considered improper forum etiquette.
