anyone using a skunk2 intake manifold on there gsr?, just wondering if they are really worth it, and what some of the + and - 's are. thanx a lot

 

didn't u already post this? just be patient..u will get an answer...and for the second time...YES IT IS A MOD WORTH THE MONEY IMO

 

I have it on my 99 Si and it was well worth it. I would also get a larger TB to go with the IM.

 

theres ZERO downsides in upgrading to a skunk/gsr manifold. well the only downside is you have to get some parts your gsr intake manifold doesn't have that a skunk manifold needs. Like a type-R throttlecable bracket and throttle cable if you want everything to fit fluid. its about a 7hp gain, with just replacing the gsr manifold with a sk2 manifold. Upgrading the ecu is the next step along with camshafts..

 

katman...
what about on an ls, would it be beneficial too?? is it true that i'm going to loose
a lot on the low end?

 

well i've never experience a Skunk2 manifold for LS head. But I've had a friend who had a B16A manifold modified to fit an LS head....way before the Skunk2 manifold came out. It was a 92 LS integra with a B16A S1 tranny too.....the manifold helped out a lot. I don't think there was any low end power loss felt...but he never dynoed his car. But it was a nice upgrade...

 

Using the Skunk2 Manifold with the Skunk2 Cams, Gears, Tuned ECU, and Dyno Tuning, I was able to dyno my N/A GSR engine to 176 whp. I am going to try the Skunk2 Manifold for my GSR Turbo setup.

 

thanks katman!
