My only question is why people waste their money on a Intake Manifold. When Dyno sheets have shown losing a ---- ton of power down low.

I still have a New AEBS Intake Manifold sitting in a box for 90 bucks if anyone seriously wants to waste the money to upgrade to it.

Yeah dude I am trying to Turbo the Hatch. Forgot someone local was probably on this board but I know you can kinda keep it on the Low Low.

 

dont want to lose low end torque you get a properly ported stock manifold proven

 

What's wrong with that? It's what I'd expect from an intake manifold designed to move torque peak higher, so you can sidestep knock limit.

 

ah dont worry i know how secretive you are

 

Caraudiophile- What does the AEBS manifold fit?
I really am not concerned with low end torque.I drive a sub 2000lb fwd car so low end torque does not really benifit me in anyway other than maybe doing somkeshows.

 

AEBS Fits a B16 - B18C5

I cleaned up the edges of it and made the ports match the Hondata Gasket but I put the Gasket in and Never installed the Manifold due to the fact it would of slowed me down because I really wasn't making that much power. I had a Skunk2 also and sold it and they look almost identical.

Its not that I think Manifolds are junk and a waste of time its just that I see money could be spent elsewhere. Its like these Kids that go out and get the Basic H/I/E then think the Next step is putting some JE Big *** Manifold on the car and slowing it down. I know I wasted money in not needed parts like my Fuel Rail but it made the N20 Install easier and gave me a place to put the Fuel Guage.


Thanks for keeping it on the Low Man.

 

I agree.Some motors like the LS really benifit from a aftermarket manifold as the stock one is a low rpm non performance oriented.I have seen kids putting a Edelbrock Victor X on a relatively stock NA car and your right it kills power/driveability and probably slow them down if anything.

 

my cousin had his ssac manifold for about 4 months now....daily driven and still hasnt cracked.....but i still think its crap

 

Okay, I'm trying to dig out my LS Skank2 IM to comparo... sorry to forget, 90DX

 

Cool I was wondering how the design compared.I have actually sold that manifold as I bought a vtec head so I know had no use for it.
