I could be off alittle here but all of things that you added should not really make your car faster it should just make handle more boost/nos or whatever. I know that it raised the compression and that you probably saw some horsepower gains there. I have a 93 si w/ d16z6 and noticed a very big change when I put on the skunk2 manifold. I just recently went w/ the skunk2 stage 1 cam and that really made vtec alot stronger. It just sounds strange that you would not notice a difference between the manifolds, are you using the same intake on the skunk2 as you did with the stock?

 

question...are you still using the stock throttlebody? if you are than that is your reasomn for not feeling the difference. port the shit outta your stock one, or buy an aftermaket one.

 

Like 2 horsepower......really.

 

You mentioned a rubber insert on the Stock D16Z6 crankpulley...that's got me kind of freaking...I am putting lightweight pulleys on mine (1992 Si HB Z6) and I have no rubber inserts....you have pics?

 

I'm almost positive that the rubber inserts are there to absorb vibration.

 

Hmmmmmm...wierd. I just took my stock one off the other day and it didn't have one.. I wonder if some jackass didn't put them back on. It had a valve job done one it before I got it...I wonder if it was their screw up. Anywho, I wonder if I can just buy a new one? Maybe somebody has an extra laying around (hint hint)LOL
