is it possible to fit an intake made for a gsr manifold onto a skunk2 manifold just wondering cause im too broke to afford a itr intake

 

u MIGHT be able to ghetto it on if its a short ram. cold air definately no

 

which intake are you supposed to use?

YEAH i did THAT!!! kinda low on $$, so i just cut my Akimoto Racing intake, just enough to make it a short ram! I have a B16 intake manifold but its pretty much the same shape. i just put a piece of tape around it so i had some sence of a straight line and cut it with a hack saw.

Oh yeah, there was a hose for the crank case breather that connected to the section that i cut off, so i just bought one of those crank case breathers from K&N and it works fine...

what what kind of intake would you use

whatever fits on a type r ?

 

bingo!

 

so wait a sec, people with GSRs that end up getting a skunk2 manifold have to get an intake for the itr/b16?

if so, that would suck, because it was hard to find my iceman.

 

you gotta do what you gotta do. btw, why do you need to have an iceman...what's wrong with an aem or a comptech?

 

eh just put a filter on the TB

 

i was thinking about doing that...
but the TB gets kinda hot, so i was worried bout the rubber melting and jackin up my TB...

 

i don't need to have an iceman, it's just that i didn't want to spend so much on comptech, and then the difference between aem being metal while iceman is plastic. the iceman stays really cool, plus has a tapered design. i haven't seen any dynos between the 2 but i've HEARD that iceman makes more power.

plus i got a really good deal on my iceman.

 

yeah, it's whatever floats your boat i guess. honestly, they all perform pretty much the same +/- 1 or 2hp here and there.

 

i dont know about an aftermarket intake but i used the stock gsr intake arm and filter before i got an aem itr. u have to remove the box and kinda angle the intake arm down, but it'll clear the hood. ghetto-fab

 

No Ghetto rigs , get off your walllet and but the 150.00 right intka tube also ask one of your buddies for a ls intake tube or post it use your head only wallet if you have to....

 

Damn....wish i would have known that before i bought the cold air.

 

Can two other people confirm this statement? If its true, then this totally freaking sucks. I thought Skunk2 would make the effort too keep the TB placement the same so all intakes would work with it. Someone please confirm this cuz I'm about to put down a chunk of change for one....

 

it is true, you need an itr intake to run the s2 im.

 

Actually I have the s2 im and i still have my aem intake..It works just fine. Just had to twist it, to make it work.. Dont waste the money on switching over, an intake is just an intake..

use the itr aem.

 

ITR is the way to go. Sell the Iceman and use the money to buy another intake. Do it right the first time and save yourself $ in the long run.

 

I am changing over to s2 mani in the next week. IM me if anyone is interested in my iceman CAI. It has a new filter and is in perfect condition.

As for the intake, get a itr one, or one meant for the itr, its wider in diameter than a b16.
