hey i got a question you know the stock vtir manifold? it sits lower than the skunk2 manifold right? so would you have to get a dc2r cai? or just use a dc2 (not type r) cai? i'm thinking of doing this upgrade soon but need to make sure if things would fit before buying things and would you have to upgrade your tb when you put in the skunk2?
Correct, the throttle body is positioned lower on the stock manifold than the Skunk2 manifold. You will need a DC2R CAI, the Vti-R version will not fit.
As for throttle body, yes it can be re used with the new manifold. Although, as it is now sitting higher, you'll find that your throttle cable will now also be significantly higher if you reuse the stock TB. Personally, I recommend upgrading to a DC2R throttle body, it's slighty bigger, and since it opens the other way you can run your throttle cable the conventional way... It's kind of hard to explain I will post up some pictures for you that will make it easier to understand.
But yes, get the DC2R intake, and yes you can reuse your throttle body.
sorry to bump up an old thread. I've just bought a Injen CAI for the VTI-R, didn't even think about having to get a type R for the manifold. So are you saying I should just sell the VTI-R CAI and buy a Type R because the VTI-R won't fit?
nice work man!
Just wondering if you used the Pro series or the Ultra series for the intake manifold from skunk2?
im looking to put one in my Eg with a CAI
thanks!
