Skunk2 intake manifold questions
I just got a skunk2 intake manifold and removed my stock intake manifold. I then removed the stock throttle body from the stock IM and tried to bolt it up to the new skunk2. There were 2 screws and 2 nuts that held the TB to the stock IM. There are 4 screw holes in the skunk2 IM. How am I suppose to fit the stock TB on the skunk2? Not everything that was on the old IM will be able to fit onto the skunk2. What am I suppose to do? Should I just get a new TB? If so which one should I get? I have a 98 GSR with crower cams (63402) and crower valve train. I also have fuel upgrades using 310 cc RC injectors and a walbro fuel pump. My ignition is bumped up using an MSD SCI-L ignition, with blaster 2 coil, and NGK spark plug wires. I am also running a 50 shot nitrous kit. Again, what should I do. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There should have been 2 studs in your stock manifold also. Remove those and install them on the Skunk2. You can now attach your TB.

See ABOVE. Use your STOCK one.

Crower Cams and Crower Valvetrain... ?!?!
Save money for a new motor. This is not opinion but FACT.
Bumped ignition, fuel upgrades... How about tuning??!!?? If you are truly serious, you need to get some tuning. Before getting tuning you will need a good header for the shot you are running.
On the crower parts, I am serious.... sell them and replace them with better items prior to a rebiuld.
Thanks

Ok. No problem. What throttle body are you putting on yours? Stock or aftermarket? Let me know.

Hey Joe, If I do get rid of my crower equipment, what brand should I go with, Skunk2? Let me know. Thanks

ITR Outersprings
Portflow Inner Springs
Portflow Retainers
This is a great setup for a safe rev limit of 9500.
Good Luck on the boost... post some dyno numbers once you do it.
As far as the crower cams, ask John at SS about them... I can personlly tell you that the Crower Retainers blow. They killed my motor.
