Got my hands on one of these and snapped some pics, and yes the runners are loooong, my digy-cam lens isn't distorting the way the manifold looks at all:



snoop this directory for more pics --> http://www.ff-squad.com/parts/skunk.d-manifold

 

 

 

******* sickkkk

 

o man that is sexy.

 

i forget, do the longer runner help out bottom end power?

High RPM was the goal of the straighter runners compared to the curved ones of the Y8. It is similar to an ITR design. As for even more high RPM power, shorter runners are better.

 

That thing doesn't look like it will even fit in my engine bay on the stock engine (EJ8), at least not without taking out the engine and reinstalling it.

yeah it is. lol....
ok, so my wide angle lens distorts the edge of the pic a little bit.
The runners do look long like seen, in real life tho.


slvrcivic97,
they range from $250-270 I believe. Depends on who you buy it from.

sweet, thanks. I'm probably going to get this one over the y8 IM.

 

Speaking of longer runner on D-series manifolds. I noticed the new Edelbrock Turbo kit includes a intake manifold with longer runners like this. I imagine there are designed for low restriction and increasing velocity.

 

You my friend are correct.

 

katman, any idea of how much f-ing around there is to make it fit?

 

no idea...
I'm sure there's plenty of space tho, they had to have taken firewall measurements before making the manifold into account.....i hope

 

me too lol.

 

thats is fuking nice, now all they needs to come out with is the h22 skunk2 manifold.

 

it kinna looks long and scronny

 

I remember when skunk2 was located in hayward, Calif. I saw prototypes of this design. Good job Dave Hsu (creator of skunk2)

 

We got one in the shop today and it doesnt look that long in person. Will fit very nicely and comes with all the needed taps and plugs for vacum lines and hoses. Very nice manifold. I dont like the whole american flag deal though. ha. I cant wait till we get the H22 one. Weve got one on the way as soon as they are realease. Wo hoo.

 

Hey. how much are you charging for them?Thanks.

well guys i just finished installing my skunk2 manifold on my d16z6,and as far as the firewall comes the manifold sits right on top of the proportioning valve ,it's very tight ,i'll have some pics in a couple of hours along with some driving impressions
