Gavs B18c EK9..


nice new shiny parts, is the TB any larger than oem.. ??

sure is :D

apart from not having to port the original intake to match the larger throttle body, what benefit is there in running a skunk inlet manifold over OEM? i was under the impression that they were effectively a Type r copy for non type r's in the states?

Yes im sure this is correct also and have heard what jimbo said to also be correct regarding the larger plenem chamber on the skunk2's, reason i had to change it is the one thats on the car is from a b18c6 and some genius tuner in ireland (who shall remain nameless ;)) thought it would be a good idea to try and match it up to a gsr head which as you can imagine aint the best fit :lol: So hence the purchase :nice:

mint looking car m8. were did u get ur carbon boot from and how much i want one lol

cheers man, was on the car when i bought it mate but can be found here:

OEM-style carbon fibre bootlid for 1996-2000 Honda Civic HB - HONDA CIVIC 1996 - 2000 - Seibon Carbon

Skunk2 manifold have a larger plenem chamber!

Looking good gav, TB looks cool as :)

cheers man getting there :nice:
