2 intake Manifold Y8/Z6 Which is better?
I have two intake manifold, which is better with a mini-me setup that I have, choice either to do a D16Y7/Y8 head or a D15b7/Y8 head, which manifold is better with the combination. I know that the Y8 intake manifold doesn't have an air temp sensor on it and the Z6 does. If I used the Y8 intake manifold w/o the sensor would the engine still run fine?

Good to know, but wouldn't it make more sense to run it in the IM to have a more accurate reading? With it in the pipe wouldn't it run richer?
If that's the case I would put a bung in the Y8 IM for the IAT or have it as close to the TB as possible on the pipe.

I have never had a problem running them in the pipe. I mean you could drill into the back of the mnaifold if your ---- but I think its not really that important if it was honda wouldnt be throwing them in intakes.
