Type r manifold on vtir

[dc2screama]

As Title says l am looking to change my vtir manifold and put in a itr manifold. Question is will it work and will l be able to use the vtir tb or do l need the itr tb..

[jdm18c]

na mate it wont work type r and vtri head are different you need like a skunk 2 manifold for b18c2

[TheSaint]

have a search around on hondatech etc
the easiest solution will most likely be the skunk2 IM

From what l have searched some say get a Skunk 2 manifold and some say to stick with the stock manifold.
Gonna be doing more researching

If you've already done your full exhaust, then I'd consider the TB/IM (Skunk2 will be good) and CAI. New TB/IM looks hot :)

Thanks again saint,
Nah haven't got my exhaust system yet, l wanna start on my manifold and cai first then after that exhaust and headers.
If l was to leave my stock manifold on and upgrade my tb,then go with a Fujita intake will that make a difference/powerwise?

i think u will find a aftermarket manifold wont make any difference at all, maybe it wont even make any difference or actually make u loose power, due to the fact that its bigger, and the ecu isnt tuned for the bigger intake/runners, increase air flow/volume etc etc, if it was on a worked B18c, than its a worth while investment, or even going boost, but on a standard motor, i dont think imo

Same deal with TB, i think go with the basic bolt on mods, as it makes the most difference compared to just a aftermarket Manifold or TB

[TheSaint]

i agree with the TB but the S2 manifold is definatly an upgrade for the B18c2
your torque range will shift up alot higher - making it less daily drivable - but the mid-high and high end benefits alot from the S2 manifold on this motor
of course to be able to take full benefit from the S2 manifold you will have to tune - but the difference is noticable on the B18c2 - not so much on a fairly stock B18c7

stick with the stock TB - you wont gain anything from upgrading it unless you are running crazy cams or turbo
i would get
- S2 manifold (install with hondata gasket)
- Fujita CAI
- 4-2-1 Header
- 2.5" catback
- supporting chassis/suspension mods

than i would save all your pennies for a tuning computer like hondata
from there you will have a platform to tune and move on and up if you wish

bang for buck the best 2 mods you can do are quality tyres and a good tuning computer
they sound like the most expensive parts outright but they make the biggest difference overall

Best mod by far is the best tyres you can afford.

Second best mod IMO is the best brake pads you can afford.

Thanks guys for your opinions and thoughts.
Iv been doing alot of thinking and researching and have come to the conclusion to just not do more than a cai and chipped ecu. I'm going to be selling it soon as l want a tyre r and have already started saving.
Can't wait! Thanks:D
