Maybe but if your car is tuned then they take that into consideration and tune that out so not needed. Maybe on a stock car but can just increase idle speed a bit to compensate.
@@JarrodWillemse possibly just seems like a solution to a problem the factory already solved. 🤷🏾♂️ I always battle with the dream of making this a full race build, but then knowing I have to daily drive this build and also being in one of the most restrictive states in the union with cops and emissions. Legally I have to have my cam gears covered and the plastic timing belt cover on and everything visible so I don’t fail visual. Before they even run the sniffer in the back.
@@jamessullivan4979 I removed it not because it doesn't work but because maybe one day that hose difficult to reach at the back of the engine might break and leave me stranded. Since i don't daily drive the car a rough cold start doesn't bother me. I doubt the rough cold start will make that much more of a difference to the environment taking into considerations all the other modification that are done. Plus i only drive the car once a month. Everyone makes their own decisions based on their own circumstances but for me it doesn't present more positives than negatives.
sorry, I have an original b16a2 with some mods such as exhaust and air filter... I was thinking of putting a skunk2 intake manifold and 74mm butterfly but, can I easily mount all this and walk or do I have to map? what did you do?
Hi mate you won’t see a massive gain with those mods on a stock engine. They will be best suited for cams or high comp. You could try a type r manifold. You definitely need a tune after installing the amount of air will be different.
@@daisbestDA9 i'm not from the uk, if thats how it is then good on him. In my country you can port it cheaper than s2. But the s2 is definetly the better choice(the inside is the equivalent size to a ported itr manifold if its the s2 v3 i think) for those with stock b16 intake (i'm also tempted by the blox v3 for my b18c4/b16 head project) although a lot of people love to port the stock manifold, those long runners really help the midrange.
California here and we need a lot of things for emissions even tho it’s never snowing where I live it gets cold enough to warrant having those hoses 🔥

Great content, from 🇯🇲 enjoying yours videos.
Thank you man that means a lot!
I’m so happy I live right next to skunk2 warehouse 😂
Does that mean you get a discount haha
Thinking about this exact upgrade for my 93 JDM prelude vtec
Do it but make sure you get a tune after!
Great video bro 🫵🏾👍🏾
Cheers mate!
Very good detail video 👏🏾🔥
Thanks for watching bro.
What injectors are u using? Would like to upgrade my fuel system. I just don’t know what cc injectors I should be running
I have 550cc Bosch ev. Depends on power goal and what fuel?
That's motor is badass
Cheers!

If I only put the skunk2 ultra street intake manifold and 70mm or 74mm throttle, do I have to remap? if so, what ecu is needed?
@@davidecatalano9956 yes you need a remap. Would reccomend getting an OBD1 ecu and Hondata.
Nice one🔥👍🤝💯
Cheers thanks for watching!
Do you have to have a fuel rail or bigger injecters if u put intake manifold and throttle body?
I have a aem fuel rain and Bosch injectors but you don’t need. Stock fuel rail and injectors is fine for a retune.
What wire harness do you use?
Just the original one obd1
In first 4/5 years of production no branding was used by Skunk.
Maybe you swapped a Skunk for a Skunk;)
I had a China one before this one definitely was legit. You can choose to put the skunk badge on.
Notice much difference my bro?
The throttle made the biggest change it felt way more responsive after.
Jarrod where you get the hardware from ?
I purchased everything from JDM yard.
@@JarrodWillemse do they discolorate ? Is there a link that I could order from ? Cause I would like to get some nuts and bolts... 🤔
@@raulvenegas5783 Sorry which nuts and bolts are you talking about?
The ones you used on the video putting the intake manifold together and the nuts on the exhaust manifold
@@raulvenegas5783 They are just nuts and bolts you can buy in packs from supercheap auto, autobarn any parts shop on the rack that you spin around.
Selling the old Tb?
That intake manifold is not the b16, that´s the b18 one.
The original one?
@@JarrodWillemse yes. Or its the b16b One.
Is the intake manifold specific for gsr or is it a b16/type r specific
1.6 vtec engines and. B18 type r engine
Lmao you already had a b18 type r intake manifold, could have ported it 😅
Yeh but the skunk one has a larger plenum volume
It would have costed more to port the manifold than the s2 one cost, that's why you don't see people using stock ported manifolds..

Would you recommend the Skunk 2 manifold on a stock b18c1 with an aftermarket header and exhaust on a stock ECU?
Hi mate there isn't any point if you aren't going to get a tune. It's better suited to people with aftermarket cams and a larger throttle body.
That’s a b18c type r intake manifold not a b16a.
Yeh I realised later it came on the car so I thought it was the factory one but the old owner must of swapped it.
