i have a skunk 2 intake manifold for my 99 ls....and my motor only has 85k on it...and is like brand new...but any way...if i put it on...how much horse power should i get ....and is there anything else i could upgrade to get the full potential out of it ?

hazzardboy95 · 05-22-2007, 11:21 PM

Larger throttle body, bigger injectors, high flow fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator. I would also put a stronger ignition coil in to make sure I burn the full mixture. Thats what I did. You looking at about 20-30 more horses at the motor.

skee10 · 05-22-2007, 11:31 PM

well for now just putting the manifold on how much hp gain am i looking at.....all i have done so far is skunk2 cat back exhaust and aem shor ram intake....????

are you serious?!?!?larger throttle body, yes.. injectors, no.. fuel rail, no.. fpr, not necessary... ignition coil, no.. Honda has one of the best factory ignition systems.. cams will give you the most power with a tune

skee10 · 05-26-2007, 11:50 AM

so a larger throttle body....any cirtin size?....and like i said..im just starting this build...all i have is a aem intake....skunk2 catback exhaust and the intake manifold....so if u recomend a cirtin size...plz let me know...thanks.....

eg6sir · 05-26-2007, 01:51 PM

i'd invest in a set of cams first..

skee10 · 05-27-2007, 01:35 AM

ok...thanks for the info.....any spacific type u would recomend....????

99sidude · 05-27-2007, 05:02 PM

with all that money you will be spending you could get a vtec head and see the same gains, as well as have much more N/A potential.

eg6sir · 05-27-2007, 05:18 PM

but with all that money you spend on the vtec head and other components necessary to do the head swap you could have a decent turbo setup and blow away the ls/vtec

99sidude · 05-28-2007, 12:01 PM

could you really get a "relaible" turbo setup for the cost of a head swap?

skee10 · 05-31-2007, 11:17 PM

yea i was alos thinkin about ls/v....just a built and boosted ls.....any suggestions

TAGURIT · 06-03-2007, 09:38 PM

bigger throttle body and cams..........you've already started in helping the motor breathe better with the exhaust and intake. you can save the ignition for later. or you get a complete head package from gude performance about $1400.00 and it guarantees you 45-50 hp to the wheels. people may wonder why i keep pushing their products, its because i have it and its proven.

**hondaricerman** · 06-04-2007, 08:34 PM

skunk 2 im are sick i would plan on around 35 whp gain

99sidude · 06-05-2007, 12:08 AM

35 whp my ass

TAGURIT · 06-05-2007, 12:53 AM

those were my sentiments. if you got 35whp from an intake manifold, you just out did twm itb's

skee10 · 06-05-2007, 07:29 PM

lol...yea i was like 35 whp....no fucking way....lol..but any way...does anyone that knows what there talkin about have any idea how much gain i would get...or how it will make the car perform or anything like that ?

99sidude · 06-05-2007, 08:43 PM

Idk maybe like 8-10whp... It doesn't seem like alot, but will definately be noticable on the butt dyno. Get a set of good cams along with and you will see some great gains.

eg6sir · 06-05-2007, 09:11 PM

you wont gain any where near 8-10 whp from an intake manifold.. with cams and throttle body you can gain that much from the S2 IM.. remember, mods work together.. and to get the full potential out of the part.. you'd need to upgrade other things.. i'm guessing 2-4 whp just from the manifold

skee10 · 06-05-2007, 11:42 PM

i was thinking about either aem or skunk 2 cam gears....and a bigger throttle body also....and possibly a camsaft...but im not sure which ones would be better for my car.....any ideas?

eg6sir · 06-05-2007, 11:48 PM

cam gears dont do anything other than allow you to advance or retard or timing easier.. and you'll need camshafts, not just one.. Crower makes decent camshafts for the b18a/b

skee10 · 06-06-2007, 12:22 AM

what about a throttle body...skunk 2....70 mm...or is that too big? any sug.?

eg6sir · 06-06-2007, 12:31 AM

64-65mm TB is plenty for N/A.. for boost the 70mm would be good..

find an obd2 b16 throttle body and send it to Maxbore.com throttle body boring service .. it'll cost $150 at most for the throttle body and boring service.. no need to spend $300+ on a throttle body

skee10 · 06-06-2007, 11:20 PM

any other suggestions about what i might be able to use .....as far as anything inside the motor?
