I saw another post saying that you wont reap many benefits running the skunk2 manifold on the b16 head. Is this due to small charge piping (I think I'll have 2.25")? I'm getting basically a MaxRev t3/t4 turbo kit to go with a first gen b16 head, gsr cams and a stock gsr block. I already have the manifold, but i will sell it if it's not gonna do much. Please give your input.

BTW, I did a search.

 

Well stock for stock the b16a head and the gsr head flow about the same cfm. Putting the skunk2 intake manifold will yeild the same power on both heads. You will gain the slight edge on making power with the gsr head since the compression is .2 higher with that head. I put together a stock b16a head, gsr bottom end and stock gsr cams. This is probably the best combination of stock parts, short of using the type r intake manifold on the b16a head. I would stick with your set-up, but add arp head studs and a 2.7mm thicker headgasket to lower your compression. I was running 14lbs daily on pump gas with a 60-1 on the engine that i listed, with all stock internals, thicker headgasket and arp head studs.

 

I would sell the skunk 2 and go with a JG edlebrock victor x if your going FI!! Good luck on the setup

 

I went with the Skunk2 because it's design seems to be more "streetworthy" and less RPM hungry.

 

what kinda fuel managment were u running? that sounds like a set up simular to what I want to do!!!!

 

My fuel system consisted of the following:

720cc injectors, walboro 255lph intake fuel pump, hondata stage 4b. Plain, simple, effective to around 450whp.

 

Very impressive...I need a hondata

 

Thats funny that we're going with similar setups and I'm buying some stuff from you. Alright, so I'll guess I'll just keep the stocker on there until I get the JG? What brand of 2.7mm headgasket do you recommend? I wanna be safe, but I also want to make some power. I was only gonna boost .45 bar on this setup with Hondata 2b, DSM 450's and a fuel pump (havent made up my mind yet on which)

 

nice!! simple is good! u can get too confused with all the add-ons u cant figure out what make power and what doesnt! I need a standalone...damn
