Has anyone tried the str intake manifold onthe h22?
If so, what were your results?

A shop I go to the onwer uses it on his track prelude...he said the low end sucks! but he needs the flow for the highend...

Agreed. Most of the aftermarket intake manifolds move your power band to the 7000+ range... and I'm refering to the "power band" as the area where it will make more power than the factory manifold. So unless you have an engine that can run out to 9000+ rpm it might not be worth it. And a side note, the power curve shift is affected just the same if you're running NA or FI

 

wait for skunk2... yea i know if they ever come out

 

the str is good for turbo but you probably wouldnt like it for na
like someone else said wait for the euro r or have yours ported and polished

what he said.

 

Our manifolds have been more less proven on alot of the turbo cars out there. Mainly tuning them in and finding the horsepower. But people have seen increases from 20 HP up to 30 HP and I have heard of people finding more.

As for N/A Cars we have a few guys running the manifolds outy there. It was run a black crx with alot of our other parts including Throttle Body, Cam Gears, Fuel Rail and of course the 50 HP Oil Cap, But anyways, That car put down to the wheels 289 with 219 tq. if I remember correctly.
Another racer Aaron Schley is running the maniufold he found increased torque and expanded power band. He was pretty satisfied with the part as well.
Basically, you will gain power but it does seem to be in the upper end, as well as increased power band and torque the neat thing is you don't race out of the powerband where all that power is found with the manifold.
We do not have any actual tests on a non FI car for the prelude yet. So for that car even though the motor is bigger than the 1.8 I could only give a guess as to what might happen.
Once we do some tests I will be sure to post the results as to when I am unsure of that.

the first part I agree with.

The second part? "289" whp? On what motor? N/A? That's quite high for just a random guy off the streets with some cam gears and whatnot.
Some of the biggest and baddest built N/A motors out there are not even pushing close to that. H22A's have a hard time breaking 250 without some serious parts.

I was only pushing out maybe 240-250, and I was running retarded things on my car. ITBs would be about the only thing I could think of to make my old motor just outright stupid.

Not that I'm calling you a liar, I just think you may have remembered those figures incorrectly.

I have a friend that has a Del Sol with a B18c5 head, B18C1 block, all sorts of other random just wierd go fast goodies. He tried a larger intake manifold like the STR, and it just wasn't working for him.

On an all out racing N/A application, yeah, I might go for it and see what happened. But on a street app., personally, no offense STR, I just don't think you'd benefit from it.

Hey STR.... you wanna donate a manifold to a good cause? My uber retarded turbo car? If you help me push more than 600whp I'll be sure to mention you in the magazines.

 

Thanks, once i get mine in i'll dyno it and let everyone know the results. It's gonna be working with str cam gears,68mmTB and hondata s200

 

No....It was on a fully built race car in a crx the compression was around 17:1 and the motor was a 1.8 stroked to a 2.45 liter. It had only made 3 passes on the car it was in Palmdale Last Year at an NDRA Event it ran an 11.1 at 124mph unfortunately it was still in the shake down mode and really never made it to it's full potential. It ran our complete product line and had a speedpro as engine management.
The horse and torque actually amazed me. I will try to find those dyno sheets scan them and post them. If I can't sorry I am just letting you guys know what it did on that motor.
Good Luck Cm91h22a I am glad you like the new product line. I am anxious to see the results.

now THAT is a little more believeable.

With that displacement, and that compression, almost anything is possible. So he put out that much with an STR mani and not ITB's? Impressive. Very Impressive. Did he run full race fuel, alcohol... what?

I may have to look into one of those. Can you get me a link to a picture or some more details about the one for the H22A?

Thank you. The car was on alcohol. It was on Race fuel at first and the horsepower was not too much different we just wanted the motor to last so we switched over to alcohol.
I will get you some in depth photos of them I just got a batch off the machines and they will be welded today I will get some snaps of the process.

 

what do you do about the throttle cable brakcet??? i currently have a GE manifold that i have yet to install, i know the 2 manifolds are similar, what do you guys suggest for the throttle cable?

 

Very good... I would be interested to know what kind of modification they require to make everything fit back on them.

I hope they have a better idea then Venom. I was told by a venom dealer: "The throttle cable bolts to the manifold? Are you sure? Do you have a pictures? Not sure what you would do..."

 

Yes they are very similar in appearance. You use the stock throttle cable bracket from the original manifold and ours. You mount ours to the runners and the stock on top of ours. You can also switch to a GSR cable bracket.
