Euro-R intake manifold.

[NAiL05]

Pimpstar thanks for the info. I was either gonna do this or get the type S plenum.

A little port matching of the injector area is required, and with the use of a hondata gasket it bolts on just fine. (otherwise the top of the flange would need to be clearanced slightly).

For the euro-r mani I picked up, he already grounded the flange down a lil. So I spose I could just use a stock gasket. . (I really dont feel like waiting for the gasket to get shipped). Tomorrow I'm going to run down to the junkyard and get that IAT, then probably install it cause im so damn impatient.

U gotta learn to be patient when tuning/modifying cars.

hahaha, I know. I'm not half assing anything just doing it half as good as it could be. I spose I could drive out to kingmotorsports and pick up the hondata gasket. Its like 40 mins aways or something like that.

What can I say I gotta a itchy wrench hand?

same here i just spent the last 45min installing new sway bar bushings


haha nice one mods

I think I'll go with a stock gasket, sure the temps might be a lil higher, but Im worried about the clearance on the studs. Im tight on cash and spending another 30 some on extended ones plus the 50 for the hondata gasket is a lil steep.

Plus the IM is already trimmed for the stock gasket.

It's not like using the stock gasket is bad, or wrong.

you can get a phenolic gasket on ebay for ~$25 and you dont need extended studs. while theres not loads of extra room, the nut does fully seat... especially if the flange was machined down a bit. mines unmodified and fits a hondata gasket no problem.

[myk]

hmmm, didnt think of ebay gaskets at all.

If you dont need to extend the studs like you said mike, i might just get the hondata. Getting the new studs was my only real issue in getting the hondata gasket.

I would much rather have a hondata gasket then one from ebay, not knocking ebay companies. They might be alright, but hondata is established.

I have Hondata on mine, and the bolts seat with a few threads left. I know the flanges may be different thicknesses, but I don't think it would be much.

Man great deal. A few months ago I spent ~ $600 on a Euro-R IM and everything to get it legit. $250 for the IM $120 for the fuel rail spacers, IACV adapter, and egr plate cover, $50 on the Hondata gasket, $30 for the IAT sensor, $20 for the EGR Blockoff plate, and IIRC $150 for my 68MM Throttle Body. Well that puts it closer to $700, plus Hondabond, and a few miscellenous things like sanding discs, a tap, set screws....I had to modify the injector area, and take about 1/16th to an 1/8th off of the lower half of the ports when I gasket matched it, and quite a bit while boring the TB inlet. Not to mention I noticed one of my injectors was damaged.

Like I said GREAT DEAL on the Euro-R!

[myk]

Damn tweeaks I knew it be expensive but damn, I got really lucky! I knew I couldnt refuse this offer even though it ment drivin 2 hours out ( he drove an hour out too) to meet. Well I was in chi-town for HIN anyways . I really had no idea he had everything included.

Another question, Im picking up the gasket and IAT sensor next week (no free time this week ). Should I go ahead and pick up adjustable cam gears?
I know cam gears are good for tuning even a stock motor, but with the addition of the IM would it something of importance?

Would I see greater gains with just a mild adjustment in timing with the IM mani? (vs. stock setup)

[myk]

got the hondata gasket! searched and searched for a iat sensor but couldnt find one . I was looking at the euro-r intake mani that I got and it looks like the ports for the IAT sensor is blocked on it? At least where I think the euro-r IAT sensor is (in the front on top of the runners, near the right side?).


Secondly with all the vacuum lines that you dont need when using the euro-r do you think I could just drop the vacuum box? Emissions and all that isnt important for me. Just leave the small tank under the drivers side fender?

[cp[mike]]

you can drop the vacuum box, but it controls evap, egr, and has the map sensor... if you want to ditch both emissions systems, take the map sensor out and hook it up via a single line to the manifold. i used the MAP sensor that was mounted on the top of my OBD2 throttle body.

the IAT sensor is the same screw-in style as an F22B2 manifold.

[myk]

to poor to pick up one of those screw in IAT sensor. Just took one I had, ground it down, threaded it a lil so its snug then put some sealant around it.

Should work, we'll see I nicked it a tiny bit when I was working on it looks like it should work. If it doesnt trip a CEL im assuming its good. .

We'll see tomorrow!

[myk]

Euro-r installed, all I can say is it dont sound like no 4 banger any more. lol

Im having a problem with the IAVC though, I cleaned it out and it runs fine when the car is started but but if i rev and it goes down to 1k it starts doing the tach dance. There isnt any vacuum leaks that I know of, also im running the coolant bypass. . I'll try using my other IAVC that was working on my old intake mani but is there anything else that could be causing the erratic idle?
