Pballer2005 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 y8 manifold and tb are the best ones you can pull off another car. edelbrock performer X is the best aftermarket you can get for n/a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice build Del Sol Si ftw Nope. Has not been leaking for some reason lately. but i still should prolly get it..saving up for it. y8 manifold and tb are the best ones you can pull off another car. edelbrock performer X is the best aftermarket you can get for n/a So skunk 2 no good. I herd i get like 4whp so does not sound like 300 dollars worth for me.But there good after you turbo a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallhamer88 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 here something i came across about intake manifolds ntake Manifolds- Honda makes a pretty stout intake manifold and they rarely need to be upgraded. However if you do choose to upgrade these are the options. Stock-This is your standard option as the factory piece can support alot of power both in N/A form and boosted form. Now if you hae a non-vtec motor the best thing to do is to upgrade to a Vtec manifold from either the Z6 or the Y8 motors. Skunk 2- This is probably the best aftermarket manifold for the money. How ever there isn't much R&D into this piece. its basically a b-series plenum with D series runners. This manifold can actually loose power over a stock one on a bolt on/stock engine, as with any aftermarket piece. Now im sure i'll get opinions on this but this is mine based on research i've done. Edelbrock- This manifold is probably the best manifold on the market. But for N/A motors its not the best choice unless you have the engine built for it. This is more of a boosted manifold. Blox- This basically is a Skunk2 copy. While its a decent starting place for starting, the best thing to do is to cut open the plenum and blend the runners together much like you would do on a stock modified one. A decent manifold for the money OBX- This is a junk manifold plain and simple. Your going to have fitment issues with things and the design is very poor. The only thing this manifold is good for is making ITB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pballer2005 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 most people that buy those kits get an extra manifold and rebuild the turbo and that combo seems to make them happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orca89 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I think when i clear my hood and wing imma throw red pearl in it Sounds sweet. You still need to get a black targa of some sort. I don't care if it's CF, primer, or just one from someone parting out a black Sol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh btw recent mod viper series 590s alarm installed comes with turbo timer when im ready to boost and remote start which the remote start would be removed when i do my 5 speed swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
