I'm gonna say this now, I don't have much research in intake manifolds, but from my understanding, the Edelbrock IM really aren't for NA applications. Thats from my understanding, if someone else would like to prove me wrong, or point me in the correct direction, please do.

 

I was told they were
and a while back i had found one but didnt even check to see if it was for turbo or a na setup

 

From the looks of it it should be used with turbo applications.. or high-end N/A. The runners are so damn short.. it would definitely help with 13K+ rpm revs.

$0.02

 

put a k20a in and call it a day.. I H E kpro... guar over 200 whp..plenty of tq.
very efficient motor.. car will be extremely fast.. you should be most turbo cars out there. just my opinion.,

 

I'm sure he has $10,000 saved up for this swap.

 

yeah

cuase you know..everyone these days just can fork out 10 grand any time of day

 

I have a LS vtec, and a GSR boosted and an RSX that I am going to supercharge, and personally I have spent too much money on all motor to see slower times than my turbo car.

 

I agree somewhat. I have read several times that for a b16 motor no aftermarket intake (well maybe not no, how about affordable) can outperform the stock intake manifold. I think it was due to the motors small displacement.

In a recent issue of HCI they did a dyno comparison with a stock b16 intake manifold vs. edlebrock (victor i think) manifold and the stock just kicked it's ass. With the edlebrock it was falling all over itself until the the very last few rpm's. I read a comparison a couple of years ago where it was a skunk manifold vs the stock one and the outcome was the same.

stock manifold > aftermarket manifold.

This is coming off of my fuzzy memory but do your research before you throw down your hard earned tax return on an intake manifold for your b16.

I just spent an assload of money building my b16 for some temporay NA fun. In the end i got a whopping 30 extra whp. in hindsight paying $100 for every 1 hp just isn't so cost effective.

If i could do it again i would have bought a turbo kit and put the same amount of money into my car and gotten at least twice the hp. plus more driving induced hard-ons

 

Yeah, Well my CRX needs some body work etc etc. old ass thread but hell,I need fenders and front end parts now. But by the summer's end i will be boosted and painted
