Default Poblem with Sk2 intake manifold install

Problem is....The fuel rail and the injectors. I'm using a B18B fuel rail on a sk2 manifold for B16/B18C5. Porblem is the injectors. If I use the fuel rail insulators between the mani and the fuel rail, its not going all the way over the injectors. If I do it without the insulators, its missing it by 1/4 inch and its not tightening down all the way. Do I need to cut the insulators or what has everyone else done??

You need to (1) toss the insulators, and (2) get bottom seals (the ones between the manifold and injectors) for an Integra Type-R. Isn't it nice how Skunk2 fails to mention any of this? By the way, they also forget to mention that you need an ITR throttle cable and throttle cable bracket.

What is the difference between the lower injector seals?? I'm trying to use DSM390's which if I remove the fuel rail insulators I should be fine and use my orginal injector seals

Good deal, I have one on the way, now I can be ready before I put it one. Instead of finding this out later.

Got it working....used the DSM 390's without any fuel rail insulators, re-used the B16 throttle cable bracket, had to bend it so it would clear the IAT sensor. Re used the LS throttle cable. Had to redo some of the coolant lines but everything else was pretty good.

You can also modify the LS throttle cable bracket. just need to re-drill one hole to make it line up.
