its stock f22a1,... so I'm wondering what manifold is efficient at the right price. not so much concerned about the price as much as it just being worth it. also i hear an air leek type sound (i know not very descriptive) around the stock manifold i have on the opposite side of the throttle body... if anyone could help with some insight it would be much appreciated

-also this is probibly another noob question but...im lookin around and the smaller bores on the after market throttle bodies seem more in cost then the lager one exaple: BLOX 66mm is around $250 and 76mm around $210 whats the deall on this and whats the better buy?

t3t4delsol · 08-27-2008, 12:34 AM

your air leaking sound is probly bad gaskets, replace them. as far as a tb spacer goes they dont do a dam thing. dont waste your money on that crap

zone90cb7lx · 08-27-2008, 12:44 AM

thanks for that...ya i just ordered All gaskets for everything so ill be goin through it as i tune it up, then upgrade...

zone90cb7lx · 08-27-2008, 12:48 AM

but as far as manifolds are concerned i was lookin at OBX but it look kinda cheap is it worth it to pay 110 more for a skun2 or something like that?

BrutalB83 · 08-27-2008, 01:19 AM

Is the engine completely stock? If so, then honestly I wouldn't really worry about an intake manifold and throttle body right now. I'd probably just start with the typical intake, header, and exhaust...

zone90cb7lx · 08-27-2008, 02:21 AM

i got an intake when i bought the header, down pipe, and high flow cat... how ever i need some tuning up, i bought a belt kit and gasket kit new plug wires and iridium plugs, and a few other things, i really need to change out the clutch before anything, the previuos owner gave it to his son that couldnt drive stick, ragged it for like 3 months after its been sitting in a yard for 8+ years... so i bought it for cheap, thats why theres was hole in the rusted exhaust, and scratching in third, and the twerp added a cd player and blew out the speakers lol... shortly after i bought this car i became addicted to it, so im stockin up on all the parts i want but from here im doin what NEEDS to be done now, however plan on putting my hands on every nut and bolt of this car....

zone90cb7lx · 09-02-2008, 09:12 PM

so now that ive got the NEEDS done what manifold whould you recomene, and does anyone know about the OBX or skunk2 manifolds a tb's ?

zone90cb7lx · 09-02-2008, 09:13 PM

-AND tb's

eg6sir · 09-02-2008, 09:16 PM

i wouldnt upgrade the IM or TB until you can afford a tune and upgrade cams.. thats when they'll be the most beneficial

zone90cb7lx · 09-02-2008, 09:23 PM

got ya, would an ebay no name cam do or something like aem cams and pully's? i got manuals so i can do it , but about how long do you think it should take, would only one day do or should i plan a couple days off of work as i work pretty much everyday and its my only car, can get the days off, just a work junky....

eg6sir · 09-02-2008, 09:26 PM

you're thinking of a cam gear.. i'm talking about the cam, they run through the top of the motor

zone90cb7lx · 09-02-2008, 09:27 PM

ah yes, i thought you meant cam gear. cool then wheres a good place to look for one?

zone90cb7lx · 09-02-2008, 09:33 PM

what about just a regrind on the one i have?

That's a decent option as well. Several companies do cam regrinds for F22 engines. Check out Delta or Bisimoto for options...

zone90cb7lx · 09-03-2008, 01:27 AM

word, asuming that i could pull it out and back in with a book manual, bout how long would it take? would it be more than a day project? obviously do the cam gear at the same time maybe?

phyregod · 09-03-2008, 02:44 AM

Cams are easy, you could certainly handle it with a manual and some know how. Buy one of those magnetic picker upper things to grab the valve keepers, it'll make life easier for you.

zone90cb7lx · 09-03-2008, 03:03 AM

cool anything else i wanna make sure of? and is there anything else in that area that i can do while im at it? like kill two birds with one stone kinda thing...

zone90cb7lx · 09-03-2008, 03:13 AM

oh and got one of those...man thats a handy tool haha

zone90cb7lx · 09-03-2008, 02:36 PM

ive been reading my manual and i was wondering if doing a valve lash adjustment would be neccesary while im in that region....

George777 · 09-03-2008, 03:32 PM

It may not be necessary, but if you have the time, go ahead and do it. Won't hurt anything.

zone90cb7lx · 09-03-2008, 03:33 PM

oh and for the regrind i found a stock shaft on ebay for hella cheap, i was wounderin if i could take that to get a regrind so i can drive with the one i got while its being done, or does it not take that long?
