Best intake system for dc2 vtir

[skeptic_]

Planning to buy an intake system for my dc2 vtir. Just want to know everyone's opinions and experiences with intakes.

What do you guys think are best(value for gains) intake systems for a dc2? Cheers

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?

injen,

if youre up for sound only, get a short ram intake

if you want to look cool, get a mugen/gruppe

same intake, but there are 2 versions.

one to suit the dc2r style manifold and one to suit the vtir style.

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.

not 100% on this.

ohh okay i understand, that has helped me alot coz i was planning to buy a skunk2 IM with a injen vtir CAI.. soo ide have to either keep the oem IM and get a vtir CAI or change the IM and get a type r version intake? how about the TB does that effect the 2 versions?

that's correct, if you get a junk2 manifold, you need the dc2r intake.

TB doesn't matter, it's joined on by silicone joins.

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?

Also what do you prefer ericl33, change both IM and intake to type r version on keep oem IM and get vtir intake? coz the only thing stopping me from getting skunk2 IM is that i heard you have to get a tune after so the engine can recgonize the change from dual stage IM to single stage IM?

depends on your budget.

if you got money to burn or don't mind spending, then get junk2 IM and dc2r version intake.

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
