h22 motor-->i have a v2 intake, aem pullies and nology hot wires..soon i am putting in a rage header (2.5" collector) hi flow cat, magnaflow muffler, custom 2.5" piping and a vafcII...i was wondering if a skunk2 intake manifold is worth the investment before dyno tuning the vafcII?

 

I've heard better things about the Euro-R manifold compared to the Skunk2.

 

would the gains be worth it with all my other mods???

 

Maybe, I'm not sure though. Haven't done too much research about IMs yet.

 

Euro-R Accord IM performs well, along with the Venom, Edelbrock, and Skunk2

 

can anybody venture any guesses about what kinda gains i would be seeing?

 

Only thread I could find with some dyno numbers:

you'll get a little gain with the headers, exhuast system, and cold-air intake....but to really get the max HP with an aftermarket intake manifold is to at least bore out your throttle body, maybe a fuel pressure regualtor, camshafts, and some adjustable cam gears to allow more air into your head, otherwise it's pointless to get an aftermarket intake manifold.

 

ya that sounds about right...i mean i dont see many people talking bout replacing their intake manifold anyways....i guess there was a reason

 

i got one on my GSR, and its nice, works better if u got cams, cause then u really notice a difference, i don't know how it works on its own cuase i had my cams, intake, and header put in at once..
