Is a skunk inlet and throttle body a good upgrade for a b18c-r engine

Hi I was woudering if it was worth me putting on my skunk 2 inlet and throttle body in my b18c-r or should I sell it as it could make some money's for other mods.

You input would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
 
I had the skunk 2 intake and 70mm throttle body on my b18c and it made 213bhp and the other mods where AEM v2 and full exhaust . 135.3lbft. Just need to get hondata to remap it now
 
the older(the one i bought in 04) versions of the skunk2 intake manifolds was exact copys of the type r intake manifolds except the first runner was slightly enlarged, as for the newer models they maybe different.

but deffo on the 70mm throttle

Sell it!

The skunk 2 intakes are pritty much a B18CR copy. Won't make much difference if you already have a type R

As for a 70mm throttle body on an 1800 is overkill. Unless your runing big power and high revs.

Just as an example. The 270hp Mugen K20's built in the cossworth workshop for the Mugen arial atoms only have a 64mm throttle body fitted. An im sure its for a good reason and that they know what they are doing. Im prity sure the spoon TB is only 70mm outer diameter on the intake side but the actual butterfly and manifold size is still the same as factory. 62mm on B18C

Sell it and use the money for a Mugen airbox or decent exhaust manifold. :nice:
 
I had them both on my b18, i gained 4whp from them and made they vtec louder lol
 
For an N/A application 70mm is too much, to be honest it would do more harm than good.
 
Thanks for all your comments lads Really need to here you inputs.
 
I have the S2 inlet mani and and an oMNi 68mm TB. At first with stock intake car was dead. After installing the HKS racing suction car pulls very hard from down low, throttle response improved dramatically and keeps power in all powerband. I also have the tri y replica header, but performance was the same with the oem header as well.
 
I'll be fitting my SK2 intake and 68mm t/b, when I get round to it (on b18c) if you already have it why not, you can sell your stock intake and t/b for a decent price.
 
With the 70mm tb on a stock b18 you'll loose power everywhere from 2-7k rpm.

Restricting is not the word.

Not optimal would be better.

Have you tried tuning your engine with the stock 60mm B16B TB or the B18CR 62mm TB??

Plus to point out peak HP figures are nothing without a useable torque curve.

The B16B 185ps (182hp) designed and built by honda with type R cams, intake, ported head and uprated exhaust to be the ultimate 1.6 performance engine in a hatch so why did they use the exact same 60mm TB as used in the B16A 160ps and 170ps engine???? Surely if a bigger throttle body was better for performance then honda would have used them.

This chap speaks sense!
 
sorry to bring this all back up but its something im looking into as well, i have a b16a, and was going to get the s2 IM and 70mm TB, is it a waste of time? /money?

i know yous are talking about integras here but would i be better off getting ITR intake manifold or the skunk2 one?

reading different things from different people every place i look.!

skunk2 on their website are quoting 8% ish power gain with their intake manifold alone, then id imagine the 70mm tb would ad a bit more to that .is this accurate?
 
Read the thread mate.

I dont mean any dissrespect but you clearly dont understand engine tuning or air flow characteristics at all. The aswers your after are all there in the thread.

The answer is no! what they quote on there site is not accurate, just sales bollox!
 
Yeah, so it'd make more sense getting an integra type r intake and tb and getting it remapped properly by hondata or someone, right?
