Intake setup...

[SuperTuner12010]

I wanted to know what the best intake setup would be for me as of right now. Here are the mods as of now.

-JDM H22a
Prelude Type S Tranny(F22)
XTD 6 Puck clutch
XTD 9lb Flywheel
FICV Delete
No PS or AC
DC Header(Modified 2 1/2 collector, graduates to 3"
3" Exhaust
3.5" Intake
Tuned P28(Crome)


Because of the tranny I know it wont have the fastest 1/4 mile but should do nicely on the highway for now. So if the car is goign to be more of a highway car. I wanted to know what setup would be best for my intake mani. Im guesiing what would net best power in the high rpm range.

I have a stock h22 mani right now, and im sure it will do. I dont have the cash for a type R right now, but in he future I plan on going with a blacktrax.

I was thinking of removing my butterflys and putting the upper plenum directly on top of the bottom? Possibly grinding down some of the insides? Or should I get the blacktrax intake mani spacer in stead of the butterflys. Im not going to keep the butterflys either way.

I was thinking something like this

OR THIS

the 1st one. With the plenum completely gutted out. Set the plenum ON the runners without spacers. Doing this to the intake manifold gives a FATT torque curve.

A 68mm tb next in line for you. That 3.5" is probably starving you of some low end. I'd go to 3" and make it a cold air(or make the pipe longer somehow).

Get it tuned, and I wouldn't doubt 180+ to the wheels. Especially since you have that 3" exhaust.

off topic, but you should really look into a OBX lsd for drag racing.

I plan on LSD for the grags, but not until I get an H22 tranny.

Personally, I'm a Euro R fan. I might mess with my OEM one for the heck of it.

Has anyone ever tried the second one? What kind of gains with that one? Has anyone made the home made locker by welding the spider gears? Just curious if it is a race only it might be worth a shot.

Spider gears? Please explain...

thats only good for off road or dirt track racing. the wheels have to turn at different speeds for asphalt otherwise it will break something. just get an OBX lsd, open it up inspect everything and press new differential bearings in, check back lash and preload and you'll be good.

it's quite intimidating at first but with anything, practice makes somewhat perfect.

how does deleting the butterflies yeild more power?

More airflow, remember an engine is just an air pump.

Well I dont think im going to be able to do any real extreme mani work now, I have to finish my project asap.

Should I just take out the butterflys? Or take out the entire plate and set the upper runners on the bottom, and maybe cutting the holes for the butterflys?

How much of a time frame are you looking at. Aluminum is pretty easy to port, or at least compare to cast iron. Just be careful it's easy to screw up as well.

[d112crzy]

The intake manifold is a HUGE bitch to port. Not sure what sort of aluminum you've ported, but this one is a PITA.

[93F22A6]

Well it's still easier than cast iron. Power tools help a lot though. Still very time consuming.

you got dull bits.
