Edelbrock Victor X Vs Skunk2 Intake Manifolds

**zropts** · 02-09-2009 04:55 PM

Hi guys,

What are you're experiences/reviews with these 2 IM's and what do you reccommend on a DC2?

**Bludger** · 03-09-2009 11:20 AM

sk2 is dc2r copy.

edelbrock is performance.

mild NA to stock motor turbo stock rev range - go skunk
reving to 9-10k, higher boost ie 15psi + built motor or a hypo NA go the victor x

skunk will be more responsive and more mid, power till 8.5-9k, the victor x will have less mid but will allow you to breathe 9k+ rpm

simple as that!

skunk2 is better to compare to PerformerX isn't it?

um, did you mean 'fully sick' or just normal 'sick'?

does anyone know how the the Skunk2 manifolds go on the Vtir's?

**Bludger** · 04-09-2009 12:13 PM

As I said before, Skunk2 manifolds are pretty much a copy of the Type R manifold.

Using a Skunk manifold on a VtiR will bring the stock throttle body from the lower vtir position up to the higher type R position.

so edelbrock is better for high NA revs & boosted apps while skunk2 is for the normal bolt ons for complete NA... right?

Then has any1 used both on these on the same engine? Pros n Cons?

if your talking about th3e victorX with its short stubby little runners than yes it would suit better to that application,but as tinks said skunk is better compared to the longer runnered performerX

True that.
If you have a VTIR CAI, you will also need a Type R CAI.
Also a good idea to match the TB and IM inlet diameters.

VTIRs work well with the Skunk2 IM because like the type R manifold,
it does not use the dual stage butterflies. It will eliminate the 4xxx rpm
induction noise then the 5xxx rpm vtec crossover, instead it will have that
one distinct vtec crossover.
