the intake manifold has butterfly switch which moves between long and short long runners.

Sounds like a waste of time for the power you may/may not see. The better power from the butterflied runners will be more than lost on the hack job on the intake.

Sounds like alot of work, and the results might not be what you are looking for, but if it wasn't for people like you, things wouldn't be where they are now! Good luck!

sorry, stock manifold.

I'm looking for a best stock manifold for a 1.5L turbo motor.

Y8 manifold from a 96-00 EX? never seen any dyno testing to prove it but i have it on my 92 Z6 engine and i like it. I also bolted up a 89 B16A throttle to it with little modifications.

I've used b7,z6(current), y8. I want a b series manifold. Did you like your 89 b16 manifold? What kinda mods did you have to do? Is this a documented thing and commong?

i used a b16a throttle body, not the manifold, sorry for the mistake, the b16a bolted up with no mods, just had to portmatch the intake manifold where the throttle body bolted up to it

Dude, you can't make a B-series manifold work on a D-series head unless you do some crazy *** fabricating. Not only that but the runners on a B-series manifold are almost double the size of a d-series manifold, so port matching would be your head to the manifold would be recockulous.

Just accept the fact it won't work, please?
