Re: 2 intake Manifold Y8/Z6 Which is better?
you guys need to remember with the IAT that honda compensates the tuning for where they put it. So if you do put it in a different location it may change something a tiny amount, but the fact is you're altering something so radical (IE: head swap, turbo) that it's probably not going to matter as long as you have it and the reading is close.

Well you have to look at both manifold side by side to see what Im talking about. Y8 plenum is sweet but the runner volume is very similar to the d15b7 manifold weaksauce. Z6 manifold with basic port work to increase plenum volume along with the fact the runners out of the box are superior is what makes the z6 my choice all day long
Testing at the track didnt lie 6 years ago doesnt lie today
Its the route to go.

Its the ganagster set up but needs to have the 92+ flange welded on so you can go larger than a 63-60mm tb
