That isn't for a 'stock' or 'mild' B18c5.

It's for crazy engines.

Correct. Cheesefrog has a crazy FI setup, but this manifold has flow characteristics unlike any sheetmetal intake I have seen.

sure its about $1200 but you ITR guys can sell your stock oem ITR mani for $200 or so, to cut down the price a bit.

Ive seen that CF piece up close and it is incredible... I too wonder what it would do for a NA monster

I have always thought about it but never searched. I work on Jags, and some of the later models have compostie plastic intakes, that got me thinking, wonder if anyone makes them for hondas

i take it it would be cheaper to go for plastic than carbon fiber.. i don't really care about bling.. so if plastic still works as good, then this will be on my shopping list.

That is what I was thinking, the cool thing about these intakes is that they have plastic flanges also with heli-coil inserts to hold the injectors, and tb in. It is recycled plastic which is funny, they were having us check to see how many times it had been recycled before it was turned into an intake, some of them were stapmed 5. There was only one issue with the intakes. If the plastic that had been used had been recycled to many times, the car will have a vaccum leak after being used for a couple years, what is wild is, the intake becomes porus.

Endyn does alot of good things, I have seen one of those things in person on a 310 WHP B20 R. It does wonders for HP but you do have to have a crazy powerful setup to see full potential of the $1200ish price tag. I have not heard much about using it with a turbo, but I am sure someone has.
