I'm sick of 10 threads a day pertaining to the new skunk 2 intake manifold.

Feel free to discuss the manifold in this thread. All other random threads pertaining to ZERO technical advice will be deleted and user's will be docked points.

Good job man, im sick of it too.
Now if someone will just dyno the Skunk2 and post the results ill be happy

breathinez

Yeah thats what I was asking, sorry about the extra post. I guess it does get annoying

Just so everyone knows, these are 2point6's results with this manifold.

first try

Second try

Just so we have some grounds to start on. This is on a stroked h22, results have yet to be seen by only a built head, or relatively stock setup.

Ok since the skank 2 IM stuff is being moved I posted all my posts into one.
Ok I got the manifold on. Got some problems... #1) The my short ram intake does not fit anymore.(what do i do about that?) #2.) There is a strange farting noise coming out of the throttle body and when the intake is connected it comes out from the filter. It will be totally normal one second and then you hardly touch the throttle at all and the noise comes back.OK, I found out what the farting noise was from. I IAC was not hooked up right.
Wrong hose going to wrong spot.(dumb me) #3.) Took it for a test run, ******* thing is a lot louder than before, and now makes that annoying whistle while accelerating but, it pulled good for a while and then it did like a hesitant pull then not pull then pull hard again.
Could this be from the MAP sensor or IACV placement? Found out the problem with the hesitant pull, I must have broken the knock sensor off while putting the manifold in. Oh well, just another reason for a P28 which I am now borrowing from my friend. Thanks!

I have a 5th gen. The battery is what’s getting in the way, and i mean by a lot. I guess I am just going to have to do is relocate my battery to my trunk. Oh well you gotta give up some stuff to have some stuff sometimes. The sound is kick *** though. Sounds like a B16 now.

Adding this new manifold over the stock one made a dramatic vtec growl over stock. I still have the stock throttle body. So back to my questions, anyone got any answers?
Also when taking off the throttle cable bracket, do you need to put that back on? Because I just left mine off. Also to make the throttle cable back to correct tension I had to move the bracket on the manifold over to the right on hole so now I only have one hole being used the other end of the bracket is resting on a part of the manifold. Works out good so far. BTW, has anyone that put this manifold on there Accord with a H22 swap have any problems getting there intake to fit again?

about that whistling noise... is that common to all s2 manifolds? my brother's s2 intake mani on his ls vtec whistles like that and it's annoying as hell.

Mr.Dew

mine doesn't make that noise.. anyways here's the link to my 4th gen prelude install guide again:

I have an S2 IM on my integra and I have the whistle too... its my N/A BOV w00t!

I see that you did not have any problem putting your intake back on. Mine does not. I dont know what im going to do now. I got some little pipe on there with the filter but its laying right next to the distributor cap.

Mr.Dew

actually i did have a little bit of trouble getting the intake to fit back on even with the elasticity of the type-s arm.. but i'm also running the stock resonator.

Does anyone have a diagram of how the IACV is supposed to be hooked up with the new manifold on. I found out this is the cause of my noisy huming noise.

He did a write up on the install and took pictures. Also i put mine in yesterday. I had the intake problem with the filter hitting the battery but i managed to squeeze my ebay intake in to fit.So far the butt dyno feels good with this manifold. I feel like i got better mid range and low range then i did when i had secondaries open always.

whats this i hear about the skunk2 IM not workin with type SH models? somethin about the tranny and it throws a CEL...

98TypeSH

I dont see how an intake manifold has anything to do with the transmission or the atts,unless, the atts has vac of some sort running to the mani but i highly doubt that. I already switched to OBD-1 so i dont give a flying turd if it thinks its gonna throw a code. i pulled the whole atts computer out of this biatch. frisbe time

v4lu3s

skunk2 flat out says that manifold causes a CEL with SH models. its ont ehpaper that comes with the manifold.

98TypeSH

well that sucks for SH owners. mine will be here this week as stated in the post above, i removed my atts computer.

The lack of EGR causes a CEL. Anytime the CEL comes on, the ATTS is disabled.

Gerhard_001

Actually yes there is a vacuum line that runs from the intake manifold of an SH to the ATTS unit and the absense of that line throws a CEL with the ATTS light which in turn shuts down the ATTS unit. Everyone else with an SH that is running an OBD-1 does not need to worry about throwing a CEL related to ATTS with this manifold as the ATTS feature is non-functional with any OBD-1.

Not correct, have the Helm manual in front of me right now. Even if it were true, it would be as simple as tapping another vacuum line to run it to the ATTS: problem solved. However, there is no vacuum line running from the intake manifold to the ATTS unit or the ATTS computer.

Okay, so a friend of mine and I just installed the skunk2 IM on his 2001 Base and even though we have followed skunk2's advise we are still getting an EGR code for P1401 EGR circuit high input. The car runs great and pulls much stronger so overall we are impressed but the CEL is annoying. Any ideas? We have made 10 or so calls to skunk2 and finally talked to a guy named charles who said to swap the two vacuum hoses coming from the EGR solenoid. That worked for four days and then the code came back. His car is stock except for a CAI. According to the vacuum hose diagram on the hood everything else is correct which is evident by the lack of other codes. Skunk2 did a good job on the manifold but a sorry job for not including basic hose diagrams and for having suck *** tech support. Thanks.

Will the Skunk2 work with the JRSC without any problems?

OEM_ASSASSIN

I'm pretty sure you can't have them both at the same time.

Any way, I believe that wistiling noise comes from your throttle body. I took mine off and put it back on and it started making a wistiling noise when I got on it. I tightened it down a little more and it hasn't done it since. Maybe mine was making a different noise though...

How many people have one on right now? I was going to buy mine tonight but I think I am going to hold off until I hear more about it from people who have it on. See what the pros/cons are, its pretty new and I am hearing some sketchy things about it. I think it might be better to save more money and get a set of cams.

or ?

There is no DTC P1401. The DTC he is getting is P0401, Insufficient Flow Detected. He is getting this code because the EGR port at the head is 'blocked', or in the case of the Skunk2 manifold, not being used at all. This is going to happen on an OBDII car. The people at Skunk2 are complete ******* morons.

No. The blower bolts to the lower half of the stock intake manifold.
