my friend has one on his b16a ..his car isnt really built he has intake exhaust and an intake cam...he said his car seems slower than with his stock mani on...my question is would he make more power with a stock intake mani then with the jg because his motor isnt really built..i searched a bit but nothing really answered my questions

 

unecessary modification for such a stock motor. its over equipped. bigger is not always better, as in this case.

 

i figured he might gain a bit up top but lose a lot of torque and hp down low

 

for such minimal mods, should've went with a R/skunk manifold at the most.

 

Doesnt the JG a "turbo mani."

 

english stunna...it works better for turboed cars but i want some answers for my other questions

 

only good on boosted or hi comp motors, not your whimpy 1.6

 

hell yeah, i swear it made my friends car slower, no good for all motor in my opinion, but good for boost

 

Exactly. His motor is not suited for this type of IM.

 

before i even put my b18c1, i installed a skunk2 manifold (its easier to do with the motor out) well anyway my friends car with a b18c1 feels stronger at the low end but i feel more of a pull at the top...i like it and i dont have a header yet or cams

 

b16's should stick with ITR's or SKunk2

anything close to stock. for high boosted applictions is where JG comes into play. do u see how short and large the plenums are.

now your friend will have a reason to biuld up his motor so the manifold isn't to waste..

 

i'd get skunk2 IMO

 

Even on 1.8-2.0 liter motors with high compression pistons and big cams, the ITR and Skunk2 intake manifolds outperformed the JG unit. As stated previously "bigger is not always better".


This is, of course, on all motor cars. FI is another ball of wax entirely.
