Default hows the skunk 2 intake manifold on a gsr integra

does any of you guys installed skunk 2 intake manifold on a gsr integra? did you have any problems with them with the installation and perforrmance after install? is it really just a direct fitment with the oem sensors being utilized as well>?

I had one years ago. I know you may have an issue with the intake pipe. And there might be a sensor that needs wires lengthened.

i have one on my 94 LS....installation was pretty standard with regard to aftermarket parts. From what I remember there were a few minor hiccups with fitting and everything but nothing major that would require any substantial extra preparation. I have to note that I did install it in concert with my STR throttle body, although I don't know if that changes much. I remember having a sensor issue during the installation but i think it was throttle body related. I like the Skunk 2 though...it gave me more top-end kick as a result of the extra airflow and I imagine it would affect the v-tec range on your gs-r pretty nicely. Hope that helps some...I installed this stuff like five years ago so my memory is a little foggy.

It shouldn't really affect it. I didn't tune mine when I had it and it ran fine.

I think there's an issue with the stock strut tower brace hitting also.

Edelbrock does make some nice ones, especially if you're going for big power. You can get their IMs setup for 8 injectors.
