The magic ball says no.

Its a copy of the ITR manifold... no benefits.

Unless you are thinking of the JGEdelbrock setup, the Skunk2 setup wont do anything for an ITR (they are the same). I imagine JB Edelbrock gives you a bit more top end (when needed) because it has the shorter runners.

 

is there any intake manifold that i could benifit from having an ITR other then it elderbrock setup?

 

Why do you want anything else? The stock one is fine even if ya did run a lot of power. Who has a pic of the carbon fiber IM he might want to see that.

a better question...why do you want to replace the stock IM?

is there no other bolt on part that you could buy besides an IM that would get you more hp?

The stock manifold is great for minor mods. Unless you have headwork done like oversized valves and P&P, I would stick with the stock manifold. FWIW, I believe Bradstard here on the boards has a 2.0 liter ITR engine with a stock intake manifold.

 

why not just get your IM ported

The AEBS is a better upgrade from the stock ITR IM

 

Full-Race has a sweet manifold

Got a dyno chart to prove that?

Also, you can't generically say that it is an upgrade. A turbo car could benefit from changing to a bigger volume intake manifold, but a N/A car with bolt-on's may lose power with the same intake manifold.

so are you tring to say if i got the AEBS IM on my n/a ITR i will lose out power over stock IM?
Now i want to you come up with a dyno to prove that
i dont believe that
i will. once i see the dyn0

wtf cf intake for the typer any differece in power gains ?

 

Yes power gains....

but it certainly isn't a mod you'd perform first....

For $1300.00 you're better off starting with a better header or something.... We don't even know what the original poster has in terms of mods....

 

just to let u know i have a complet msd ignition centerforce dual friction clucth, 8 ilb flywheel, full greddy exaust, aem fuel rail, high flow fuel pump out of a turbo talon that i modified to fit in my R, and a v-afc,

 

Sounds like not enough mods to support an IM change IMO. I would say look at cams, Final Drive, or something else other than the IM.

so all you have is a catback exhaust and you feel you're outflowing the stock ITR manifold?

why do even need these mods???

complet msd ignition
aem fuel rail
high flow fuel pump

wtf is going on in here
