HAHA that's a hand me down from my friends 90 Si. I didn't complain.

 

nice pick on IM the next thing to do is go power wash under the hood to match your clean manifold..... nice job.

 

that IM doesnt match that motor... needs alitte TLC...

 

how does it feel over stock??? looks good.. just clean the engine bay

 

It feels great. It picks up much quicker and pulls harder. When I find an extra $50 I'm gonna strap it to the dyno and see how its doing.

 

did you install it yourself? difficulty? and where'd you buy it from? recommend price for power?

?

 

Looks good. So has there been any comparisions from that and the y8 IM? I wanna see how much of a gain than the y8.

No, I didn't install it myself. He said he had to modify some coolant lines, so I'm not sure about difficulty. 3hrs worth of labor. I bought it at a local Skunk2 dealer. I paid $305 for it, but I'm sure shopping around or waiting the price will be lower. It hasn't really messed with my gas mileage or had any down sides. So far 100% all good.

Did you do dyno runs before the Skunk2 IM? That would really help to see how far the Skunk2 has brought your power and where it shifted the powerband. (I read in another post there will probably be a lot of top-end w/ it.) Let us know how it does! Looks great in your dirty enginebay.

 

No I didn't do a before run. Thats an extra $50 I didn't have before hand. The last time I dynod was in Feb 02. 109.1HP and 95.7ft/lbs. So, its come along way from then. Thats about all I can compare it to.

 

looking good, just ditch that breather and hook the hosing back up to your intake tube- your head it probably suffocating.

 

Looks hell of a lot better then the stock manifold, and better high-end I bet too! I have one on my B18C, and it works wounders well! ;}

Well, as I said before the intake was a hand-me-down. The previous owner plugged it with silicone. So I can deal with it for a while. Whats the theory behind the head not breathing?

 

Oh how I so wish I had enough money to get one of those right now. Oh well, I think my y8 will make me just as happy until I can afford that baby.

 

I have 2 breathers on mine, looks like the same kind. Why would it make a difference? All the breather is doing is not letting the hot air from the head go back into the intake, and brining in "new" air. right?

take the breather off the valve cover off and with ur finger see for urslef wich way the air is going

 

it ventilates the crankcase and helps get the gases that raise to teh top of your head out of your motor. Honda wouldnt of put tha tube there if it didnt have a real purpose. Put the tube back on and your motor will be alot more happier w/ you

Its like driving down the road with 1 spark plug wire out with your G.I. Joe sticking out of the hole becuase it looks cool. In other words. Dont hurt the motor inspite of the bling bling breathr hehe

damn i am tired... i dont even know if that all dcame out right..

 

whats the intake size of a sohc skunk2 IM?

The incoming air in the intake flows from the tube into the valve cover and pushes the gasses inside the block into the carbon box/ black box on the back of the motor..... from there when there is vacuum inside the manifold your pcv valve opens and sucks that air into the motor. But this is only under part throttle / vacuum situations. Hope I could help clear that up.. also I recommend putting the tube back on.

 

cool, i wanna know how much this thing puts out bcuz i was debating if i should get a skunk2 IM or the edelbrock IM for the y8's.
