Skunk2 Intake Mani
 

i just got it in today. its very pretty :) but my friend just told me its not good for boost, that the edelbrock is better :( did i just waste money?

Re: Skunk2 Intake Mani
 

I would think that anything that improves flow would be a plus. Did your buddy give a reason why it wasnt good for boost?

Re: Skunk2 Intake Mani
 

It's better then stock but I've heard more good things from the Victor X but Skunk2 just sounds better then rocking Moroso in your honda. lol. I've heard good stuff about the Blox and if you wanted to really save some money the *gasp* XSpower surprisingly makes a exact copy of the Skunk2 for like 150 and you get a free BOV and Fuel rail.

lol i already got the skunk 2. just got it today. it was 249.00.

he didn't give me a reason he just said the victor x was better for boost. he said why not send an extra 100 bucks to do it right the first time. he has one on his B16 that he actually just blew lol. 330hp at 12psi. fried a ringland.

Re: Skunk2 Intake Mani
 

victor X is made by edelbrock, not moroso.

Re: Skunk2 Intake Mani
 

Same diffference. ::)

haha

Re: Skunk2 Intake Mani
 

yea i woulda went with victor x. skunk 2 is mainly for na cars i believe

Re: Skunk2 Intake Mani
 

the skunk 2 works great with boost, you will like it. I have never tried the moroso/hurst/edelbrock though

Re: Skunk2 Intake Mani
 

do the victor x (or whatever the name is of the one made by edlebrock) have the open ports for the extra injectors? or is that only for the performer x in the d16 kits?

anything that flows more air will help you out, and the money that you save you can put into other things

the only thing you would really need to worry about it buying a cheap product with poor construction, because if it cracked then it obviously wouldnt be worth it. you don't always have to give in to what everyone says is the best...

when i first saw the s2 and vx side by side id go for the vX all day for turbo. larger everything to me sounds like a better choice for fi plus the make a HUGE tb for the vx

Re: Skunk2 Intake Mani
 

SSAUTOshit makes an exact replica of the Venom intake manifold.

Re: Skunk2 Intake Mani
 

victor x has a much larger plenum and shorter runners. boost likes a bog plenum.

shorter runners are better as well. skunk2 manis are aimed at all motor performance, but regardless its better than stock at least.

i wouldnt waste 250 on one though. just turn up the boost 1 lb

Re: Skunk2 Intake Mani

Re: Skunk2 Intake Mani
 

and someone told me since i vacuum at 10 i need a new camshaft. so i'm thinkin of gettin the skunk 2 or crower, then a skunk2 cam gear and a str fuel rail. also i'm thinkin of going with nippon pistons they are pretty cheap. with some scay hbeam rods. and i need a block guard/block post/block filler or something lol...i just dunno what all to do. i want a nasty sohc minime to beat all these pathetic dohc's around here.
