Also a good idea to match the TB and IM inlet diameters.

sh1tballs... i didnt even think about that.. i guess i could always sell my CAI lol...

so skunk2 inlet diameter is 70mm, do I need a tb of 70mm or is that too big? I think 68 is good enough for B18CR engine rights?

list your other modifications.

full mugen exhaust system, mugen airbox.

no engine management?

neptune ecu but not tuned yet...

well, i am thinking that with such minimal modifications you should probably stick with the OEM manifold and TB?

So you're saying with just bolt on mods, I should only use OEM TB & IM? So when internals are done, then go with aftermarket IM & TB?

yep. that is what i am suggesting.

is there a reason behind this? or with the aftermarket IM & TB, there won't be much of a gain until internals are done?

well, if this is the claim;

Skunk2 Racing’s Pro-Series Intake Manifold improves airflow thus increasing horsepower by as much as 8% over stock manifolds on stock engines

make sure you do a before an after dyno...

just so we can have Skunk2's claims verified :D

(note the use of "as much as" in the marketing material...)

note also how you lose power on the above graph...

Plenty of bullshit in that graph. Look at the torque drop right at VTEC.
