I am considering putting a new manifold on my gsr, do any of you have any experience/suggestions about this?
Thanks

 

You'll have to replce your AEM CAI to a ITR one, and flip your strut bar to clear the throttle cable bracket.

 

I didn't have any problems with the bracket then again I have an aftermarket strut brace which most people have anyway. You don't have to buy another cai, just modify your GSR by cutting off the last bend to the throttle body.

expect 7-10 hp gains.

will the skunk 2 work with a stock TB, or should i be looking for a new one of those too?

 

stock TB will work - you might need a new cable though - IMO I would get ITR cams and valvesprings first - with the skunk mani you'll lose some lower end (valuable) torque. Plus you need to tune it on a dyno to get the most out of it - like anything else

 

you'll be able to keep your stock cable.

 

I've heard that the skunk2 manifold is da boooooooooommmmmmmmb,
its baisically a type-r manifold with the gsr bolt pattern. Get yo Ragedy breathin
and exhalin..... deeeeep..

 

does anybody have a dyno of this alone...or with lightly modded gsrs?

 

Get an new intake manifold gasket and a Type R throttle cable and cable hanger.

 

don't forget you need to find a new rotor for your throttle body since the typeR cable won't go on the GSR TB. the rotor has the cable coming in from 2 different directions. and no, you can't buy the rotor separately . You will need to find a used LS or typeR TB and swap out the rotors. Looks nice when its done though.

 

You need some kind of F/I or at least wilder cams to make any power with this manifold. I've seen a 94 LS with IHE lose 13 hp and gain 1 torque because he didn't have enough modifications. If anyone here has used the skunk 2 manifold, they should know it needs more flow to make power

 

Just get your current ITM ported and polished.

 

Why do you have to replace your AEM CAI when installing manifold??? is it really that much in the way?

 

i have a gsr with AEM CAI and a skunk2....ill dyno it before i install cams in nov/dec

 

I thought you just had to make up for the lack of fuel. Of course a car is going to make less power if you don't have proper a/f.

 

your A/F shouldn't be affected too much by just the manifold, but your still gonna need some cams or F/I to make decent power from it

 

if ur gonna get bigger cams get vtec controller too.

yes u can use stock Tb and stock TB cable.

I highly recommend it

 

YA WHENEVER YOU GET CAMS YOU SHOULD GET A V-AFC.. THAT IS IF YOU WANT PROPER POWER OUT OF THEM

 

should also think about getting a chipped P28...with a skunk2 or mugen program. i have the skunk mani with the P28, a VAFC and some ITR cams, and the car woke up! all i have to do now is friggin' tune them!

I replaced my GSR Throttle cable pulley with a civic one and made a throttle cable bracket. (The civic pulley was the same size as the integra one.)
