hey tr i got another question for yall.

any one here used one of the obx sheet metal intake manifolds on their cars? my friend just installed a gsr head on his motor and is wanting to ditch his factory gsr i/m. i noticed from the pics on ebay theres no hole for the iacv but other then that? any thoughts?


cheers, tom

 

the stock GSR manifold flows well and even has two sets or runners, the second set open when vtec hits allowing for air to enter faster. the stock manifold is good for up to 600hp. i'd get a bigger TB and a thermal gasket before i get a new intake.

 

yes i just put mine on tonight. HUGE difference i got it to idle with no check engine lights my only problem is the iacv the water hose that runs into the fitv there is no nipple on that intake manifold to run that hose so i blocked it for the moment but im afraid thats not good it may build pressure on tat hose and blow up or something. so ima buy a fitting and try to loop the hose or somthing.

 

true, i was going to weld a nipple before the t/b on the i/c piping and another nipple on the i/m and run both hoses to the iacv, i figure thatll control the idle perfectly

 

aight i fixed it i jb welded that second bottom hole on the t/b and plugged that hose on the iacv works perfect idle is at 800 rshared_pm not bouncing or surging! no cel

 

i have one sitting in my room goin on once i get my TB...

 

true, keep me posted on how well they perform please!

 

I wouldnt use anything OBX if i were you maybe the wastegate relocator lol

 

umm no. i dont trust any of the cheapo turbo manifolds, they dont hold up very well to the length of time i run 1250deg egts for...

 

OBX pulleys are about the only parts I would buy from them lol Its a pulley, you cant screw that up too much unless its all unbalanced lol
