I have aem short ram dc exhaust 2 1/4 piping headers im thinking of putting a skunk2 intake manifold on but im wondering if I need to get a cam or any other parts internal because I was told ima blow my motor if I get this manifold without modifying the motor

 

no u will be fine ....getting a cam u will need some sort of tuning as well...just the manifold u will be fine on stock computer...

 

lets not forget valvetrain upgrades for the cam. Then tuning.

So for around 1000 bucks, you can get that cam and will give you 15whp.


D series need alot of cash to make them perform. Usually boost solves the problem.

I would look to a 50 shot over a cam. Cheaper and still retain MPGs with power on demand.

 

Stop listening to whoever told you this...They're obviously not up to date on their car knowledge. As for the cam, there are a few cheaper options (Zex 59300 is a common one) but you wont see much of a power gain, no matter the cam you use. Without boost, d series engines are kind of worthless...Save your money instead of bothering with NA parts

 

b-series or boost N/A D-series is a big waste for power to cost all in you may(may) make 120whp.

 

Than

 

Thank you everyone really apriacate it! What you think about a b18c top and bottom end gsr tranny

 

Create a new thread on this^ new topic and also include car information.

 

what makes it a waste? its a waste going b20 or b18 from an ls. even a stock gsr is a civic isnt thaaat much faster then a stock d16z6

 

how is gaining an extra 10 lb ft of torque and 7hp a waste ?(99+ b20) and for the other remark. Um yah it is sorry to break it to you but an extra 22lb ft of torque and 34hp IS noticeable . That's not factoring in the better gearing and the greater potential of b-series over a D, I'd say the same with a k20 over a b18c5....big difference.
