bang for buck = injen
you plan on keeping the vtir intake manifold?
Yeh im leaning towards injen CAI but just worried about the rain here in sydney.. and yes i plan to keep my IM, why what's the alternative if i changed my IM?Quote:

if you plan to go junk2 or blox (both dc2r style) or whatever manifold, then I would wait till you upgrade the manifold b4 you spend money on the intake.
regarding rain & water..... I've never had issues.
people that have issues have no common sense, it's not that bad. You obviously wouldn't drive into a pool of water, but even heavy rain, it's ok.
I don't think mugen suits the vtir manifold.Quote:

what matters is the vtir TB/IM will sit a lot lower than the dc2r.
hence 2 different versions.
ohh okay, thanks heaps for that. LOL at "junk2" is that what you think about the brand or the IM? how about if i get a skunk2 TB will it be compatible with the oem IM but just get the opening bored out to match the size of the TB?Quote:

depends on your budget.Quote:

of course you will need a tune, but will be worth it.
worth port matching IM & TB
worth doing headwork. IE. cams, vanve springs, retainers.
all comes doen to money
