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
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.

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
