Intake manifolds: b18a vs b16a.... updates on build motor
I have an oppertunity to get one of each off a local guy for $30, both stock manifolds not modified..... i was wondering what modifications need to eb made to run the b16 manifold on the b18a? or if there would be any advantage at all, or if i can make soem crazy high flow contraption out of both of them

Re: Intake manifolds: b18a vs b16a
yes i think im gonna re drill teh flange and run teh b16 intake on the b18 head
I'm gonna cut open the plenum of the b16 intake first and polish that bitch and what not, I think im gonna get an adapter made up as well to run a bigger TB
whats teh best TB to run on the b16 manifold?

Re: Intake manifolds: b18a vs b16a
doesnt anyone have anybody knowledge on this? or maybe someone can reassure me that a b16 intake manifold will flow better? if so where will the gains be made? i plan having a semi built b18a
im going to:
have head planed
dual valve springs
b18b camshafts, or aftermarket if good price
port and polish job
valve regrinded
block decked
crankshaft polished
cylinders honed
all new gaskets, bearings and seals
ARP head bolts
b16a1 intake manifold ported and modified as much as humanally possible
hondata style intake manifold gasket
70mm TB
whats peoples opinion on the build, I'm shooting for 150ho at the wheels before i even slap the turbo on, 230-250hp with the holset hy35 turbo
opinions, ideas? this is my first motor im doing up, any input is valued

Re: Intake manifolds: b18a vs b16a
once again try it and experiment.
Only took me years to figure out what works etc and make a livin at it now
good luck
Oh and just becuase you make something bigger doesnt mean anything in terms of flow

some people may say that working on a car is a waste of time, or they will say modifying stock parts and designing new ones is a waste.... but if its enough to keep your mind flowing through teh years on an engineering degree, its not money or time wasted
I was just wondering if anyone had any insight of if it is actually possible to run a b16 manifold on my b18a if anyone has done it, or researched it before, i dont want you're trade secrets by any means :P I'll spend time researching and finding my own
