Default Skunk2 IM Install NON VTEC

Im going to install my Skunk2 IM soon on my 98 Integra GS, has anyone installed this item on a NON VTEC integra, If so, please tell me what items i will need to complete the install, and what kind of gains did you see. What size is the opening ? 64mm? because i plan on getting a matching T/B and a type-r aem intake.

look forward to losing some serious low end torque if this is an otherwise stock motor

what are your plans for this motor? if ur not going boosted or serious na power imo its not the best upgrade for the LS motor

I wish I could tell you what I needed to install it (I had a shop do it for me). I have the S2 im with a portmatched tb and ITR cai and I noticed great gains on the top of the powerband (most notably after 5.5k). You lose a little midrange though. The mani keeps the power (highrpm torque) from dropping at the topend of the powerband. Its a good buy if your car sees redline a lot.

you will notice more of a gain from the aem intake. not worth it unless you plan on getiing agressive cams. save your money and mod something else

actually after researching alittle im going to go with the crower stage 1 cams for the b18b, its good for nitrous, and naturally aspirated it has seen gains up to 12hp when properly adjusted with gears. I think they would help me out with the lack of midrange power loss from the intake manifold. But what hardware will i need?!? anyone?

ITR throttle cable bracket or chop the LS one down to fit.
IM ported to 64mm and match both IM and TB to avoid turbulence in the incoming air flow.
