Skunk2 intakes
 

Hey, they have these skunk2 intake and throttle body combos on ebay for about 450 dollars......
With the 70mm throttlebody would it be a dramatic diff....than the stock intake and TB??
Its on a B16a in a CRX Hf....
would it be better to have that with turbo

Re: Skunk2 intakes
 

stock ported manifold and a matching throttle body much better choice for a street car




and oh my god I do that work



skunk2=overpriced china parts that dont perform

Re: Skunk2 intakes
 

What do you mean a ported manifold and TB.....???
I didnt know you could do that stuff.....
How much would you charge?

PM me

There ---- always been China crap?I was installing some camber kits of theres the other day and they were assembled like a SSauto part the upper brace on the control arm was on backwards :1 I thought they were decent ---- back in the day but all the ---- of theres i have touched lately has been junk.I have been using Blox intake manis etc now as they make all the same stuff for less and quality seams on par

Re: Skunk2 intakes
 

skunk2 doesnt do any development nor any maching



they buy parts from china slap a name on it


and there is skunk2

Re: Skunk2 intakes
 

the manifolds are pretty good but the tb's suck balls. they didn't to enough r&d on them before releasing them. plus their im's only come with a 62mm opening.

Re: Skunk2 intakes
 

70mm is way too big for a b16, unless of course you have a head that flows hella good and a badass exaust mani i would stay away from it. seomtimes bigger isn't always better :-\.

Skank2/Hype-R manifolds and knock-offs are pretty much pointless on a more or less stock b16. Believe it or not, the stock b16 intake has a better power band when compared to a type-r on the same setup up to around 8k rpms, then the type-r/type-r copies usually make a hair more in the upper range.

Want to make better power from a b16a? Bigger cams and a nice set of valve springs (like omni's, they're excellent so far even for the replacement SiRII cams I got from Chris), a bump in compression (for n/a builds), and a slightly larger TB port-matched to the intake with the intake runners cleaned up a ported a hair. Head porting will get you some gains if done correctly, but you really have to know where to take out and leave material to make gains, otherwise you have a much greater chance of decreasing the head's flow.

It's not as easy as people think to make power from a b16a unless you're boosted. :-\

Re: Skunk2 intakes
 

Ya its amazing how many factory ported manifolds I have done for people then switched to for example like a skunk2 and went back to the stock ported manifold



powerbands that can be used win races. 3hp gain at 8500 rpm's isnt doing any good

Re: Skunk2 intakes
 

How much does cams...(good ones) usually run??
Is it a direct bolt on...?
Or will I have to get the springs and such with them too along with the cam gears
