I drive a 96 lsand was wondering if putting a gsr intake manifold would increase power or decrease. i have a haeader for my ls motor , would the manifold slow me up, what else has to be done to make this fit? Are there extra sensors, porting, throttle? any advice would be helpful, thanx

 

Get a b16 IM for your ls.

It has better air flow should add a couple of horses

 

the simple answer is that it won't fit.
an ITR unit will work though (also b16).

why get a gsr manifold? Just get a type r. Correct me if im wrong but the gsr dual runner manifold is for better fuel economy?And it wont fit

the bolt pattern is different.

 

additional question

then the b16 im will fit on b18b1?

the above is a photo of b16 im I am looking at.

also, how and why will I get better performance? more air coming through?

Just get the skunk2 mani

 

yea i could pick up a good price on a B16 manifold from my friend, if this could be done, what gains would it present, id like to know more info too

 

 

the only reason u would want a gsr intake manifold is because it gives awesome midrange...

the best intake manifold imo is a ported gsr intake manifold.

 

What IM gives the best High AND Midrange gains? I don't want to sacrifice Mid for High... daily drivin what what.

ported gsr intake manifold

There is NO POINT in gettin a skunk2/itr intake manifold UNLESS you plan to get cams AND tuning.

I'm all about Top-End power... what WHAT

 

Has to fit on B18B1 buddy... Ported Type-R IM??? How much gain, is it worth it?

Ben

 

ported type r IM? lol.. maybe if you are making over 300 whp..

stick with stock

 

Get the skunk2 mani. You lose a little midrange but after 5k it pulls like a champ. I think the dip in the midrange can be fixed with a SAFC.

 

will the b16 IM really bolt up? ican get one for really really cheap....i think it has shorter runners than the LS? doesn't it?

 

someone please, confirm that a b16 intake manifold will help a b18b1?
if true, how much gain would I expect from a complete i/h/e set up?

 

i woudn't call 15ft-lbs little

safc won't fix it alone.. u also need the right cams
