No, he drives a red 5th gen. You live in P'cola?

 

Sorry to Hijack but this will probably be applicable to you also:

As part of my build I was thinking of getting an AEM V2 induction and VENOM inlet manifold, but I have been advised that this is a bad idea as the two dont go well together.

Hence.. I have been told that:
The venom inlet manifold will make most power between 6000-8000 rpm
The v2 will make most power between 3000-4000 rpm

Is this true?

I have also been advised that for top end power you would be looking at :
a 4 to 1 exhaust manfold
cold air intake
inlet manifold with short fatter runners (skunk2 ect)


for midrange power you would be looking at :
a 4-2- 1 exhaust manfold
short ram intake
inlet manifold with longer runners (ported stock manifold)


If this is true which would be more suited to VTEC?

Many thanks.

 

This goes to 2.2l, who says skunk 2 sucks nuts and someone needs to do more research before they give out false info. You need to do your research before you put down Skunk2 talking up the Type S and Euro R because Skunk2 manifold is a dead replica of a Type R manifold (for B series) not Euro R manifold (for H series) and is pretty similar to a Type S. If anything The Skunk2 is better Than the Euro R and Type S because it eliminates the butterfly valves (2 of them) making it a single stage VTEC unlike a GSR and much like an S2000. The only thing a a Type S has on buying a Skunk2 manifold is the larger throttle body which Im pretty sure you have to order seperate when buying any manifold anyway. All the manifolds are pretty much the same concept overstock, larger plenum, larger runners. The Skunk2 is just nice because itll do the trick just as good but its alot cheaper, and it also eliminates the EGR, so in conclusion I would say that you need to do your research. Although I do agree on the ITB setup being better than any manifold.

 

considering i have owned one and dyno'd one i think i have more experience than you buddy. Its about as dumb as buying a DC header. Sure it looks good, but for the money you pay for it you could be making alot more power. This is not a b series dumbass. This is h series so your type R bullshit doesnt apply here. The skunk2 made peak power more than the Euro R, but guess what....peak power gains doesnt get you places. Midrange gets you places, and that is where the Euro R shines.

Euro R and Type S have two completely different designs. Euro R does not have an IAB plate and the plenuim size is different. The only difference between a regular stock h22 IM and the Type S is the IAB plate ports. On the Type S, they are just slightly larger to take in more air. You know nothing of flow characteristics and your post above shows that. Just because its bigger does not make it better.

I dont need to do anymore research. I've been researching preludes for 6 years. I dont need some shit telling me to do it when i already am.

 

the venom manifold is designed to work with boosted motors. If you want to make power with an intake manifold, get a Euro R and have it ported and port matched to the head and throttle body. Run a 68-70mm TB and have that portmatched to the intake manifold. Then call it a day cuz thats one hell of a setup without spending 1000's on custom manifolds or ITB's.
