i am currently running a stock gsr dual stage manifold,when i upgrade to a skunk2 is it pretty much a plug n play type install?any help will be apreciated, if anybody has any detailed steps please include thanks again....

 

Not plug in deal. Bolts up OK, but...

1. you'll (probably) need to lengthen either the IAC plug or the IAT sensor
2. the manifold bracket cannot be reused
3. depending on the year, the coolant tubing to the TB will be slightly different.
4. You will need to modify your throttle cable bracket
5. the heater hose (metal piece) should be removed

page looks good, but lets get those pictures up!

 

...yeah yeah, workin on it

 

dope thanks for the help kat..

 

Please... Do the install right....

Get the following things BEFORE you do it....

1. ITR Throttle cable
2. ITR Throttle cable Bracket
3. Civic Throttle Acuator (the part that the cable goes into)
4. Wire loom
5. Electrical tape
6. New Intake manifold gasket / Hondata preferred
7. Vaccum line T fitting
8. About 1 foot of good vaccum hose (don't need it all but extra doesnt hurt)
9. Mechanix Gloves (you will thank me later for this suggestion)
10. Patience (anyone that has removed the stock GSR manifold will agree)


May sound like alot, and it is.... but WELL worth it to do the install properly...

Notes:

You WILL need to unwrap part of the electrical wiring to get the wires to run properly. Unwrap it and then wrap the wires per sensor tegether with the wire loom to protect it.

The throttle cable is an easy install and well worth it for the looks and functionality.

Make SURE to properly torque down ALL the bolts... vaccum leaks suck.

Good luck...

 

Hey GSR hacker why do the civic acuter thing what will that do because i didnt use that on mines but ever sense i had that manifold my car has been running rich bad and ideas????

 

Anyone have any problems mounting the fuel rail and making sure the injectors are seated properly. I am still in the works of putting my car back together and the studs for the fuel rail aren't long enough meaning that when we put the bolt on they run out of thread so the injectors don't seat all the way. I think I remember someone saying they used washers instead. Can Anyone Help Me

 

oh hey..
I finished updating the HOW TO for the Sk2 manifold on GSR head...check it:
