Anyone going to order one or have any more info on them? Should I just go with a type s intake manifold and call it good since skunk2 is saying thats its a tight fight in the prelude bay? gah

I think you mean Euro-R... but seriously I've been reading that thread and it seems like they are really out now... Lightning motorsports is supposed to have them physcially in stock this wednesday... Has anybody else talked to skunk2 or other dealers, because i havent heard anyone really talk about it in the prelude forums...

 

Well the guy that I ordered my Skunk2 valvetrain from called me and left me voice mail saying that all my parts are there....(This including the Skunk2 Intake Manifold since I ordered that too)

So I'm pretty sure is there I just need to go pick all my shiznit up and then I'll let you guys know and may be take some pics

 

No mount for EGR or EACV. I'll pass.

 

"The IACV and EGR will have to be relocated and have the necessary parts to do so. As a result of this, there will be no CARB exemption"

where would they go?

 

lol

WTF? The IACV is on the GODDAMN FRONT of the stock H22 manifold. WHY IN THE HELL WOULD THEY NEED TO MOVE IT? Certianly not for clearance. The stock wiring harness isn't long enough to move it anywhere either.

 

Half assed job on the manifold and they obviously didnt finish it. They just released it because they knew you guys would probably buy it either way.

I asked about the need to extend wires/vacuum lines and the rep said yes. How do you relocate an EGR? Does that mean that it gets relocated ouf of the engine bay into your parts storage in the garage?

wtf...

 

Seems like a BS rush-job to me ...

Thats exactly what it is. I'm glad it seems the people here realize that. The guys on some other boards don't see that.

 

these won't be released I would say at least for a couple months. Skunk2 has no idea when they will be out and no pricing yet!

Just got some TWM ITB's...we will see how that goes along with my new Hytech header and exhaust thanks to John @ Hytech

 

this is such bullshit, such a long *** wait to have a crap *** product

read the topic. They are released, skunk had pricing on their site for months, and they have been shipped.

 

IMO... poor planning went into this product. It looks nice, but half-assed.

 

I personally can't wait, I ordered mine from my buddy a few days ago, it should be here by this wednesday. I can't wait to get rid of this secondaries BS, but thats probably because I never took the time to hook them up so they work properly. Any one peiece manifold gets my vote.

its not really a rush job. they've been working on it since around 00-01. its nothign new.. they spent so much money on the first 300-350 batch and trying to get them to fit and work. .that they have just said f**k it..

remember skunk2 doesnt make them phyiscally by hand. they are made in japan by a huge factories and shipped to usa.

Then they try to do anything possible to get it to work.. they have them there and have been trying to get them done in the past 3 years.. fitment is the main key..

so its not like they put them together and now decided to stop..

on another note, i ll wait for ppl to get theirs, then ill get mine for bout 100-150 bucks

The EF, EG, and EK Civic guys will be the ones with problems.

Still makes no ******* sense that relocated bracket is on the BACK of the manifold!



Also, anyone who has looked at their stock manifold knows that the IACV breathes through a hole in the TB that bypasses the throttle plate.
This pic shows no provision for that.
This **** is some serious ****-poor engineering.
