the shiney obx manifolds are total garbage with 9 year old kids welding them



The cast ones are old skunk2/blox cdm stuff. The b series stuff is just a type r intake manifold so they cant screw that up




Type r manifold=good

well maybe a-little boost one day if i am board- and can get some turbo shit together...its a obd2 car though so tuning  :-\? ??? all i can think of for obd2+ boost is the conversion harness to obd1 or a shitty FMU <---i dont even think FMU's really work)

Darkelvis kicked me a shiny one for the cost of shipping, I regret spending the money.  Trash.

Tuned a NA Z6 with one.  117 whp 103 wtq.  I made 139 whp 125 wtq on the same dyno off of a stock Y8 IM.

I bought a gsr one for 10 bucks at a storage unit sell off and well even for doing an itb set-up they suck.



If you cut down on the oem flange past the fuel rail studs and weld in threaded rod to replace them you can have a straight runner setup but with an oem honda flange and a welder who can actually weld

Yeah, I got this one with ITBs in mind, looked at it for fifteen seconds and decided I wasn't going to waste my time.
