intake manifold
 

hey all..gotta B16 in my honda.. and i was informed i have a intake manifold from a smaller motor.. im assuming this is a restriction on my motor..
what i was wondering..is it worth sourcing the the B16 intake manifold or would it be smarter to simply get something more performance inclined or maybe from another B series motor?

theres no way you have the wrong intake manifold on your car, b/c only the b16 or ITR intake manifolds fit the b16 head.
Unless you mean the intake tube (or short ram intake/cold air intake).
I couldn't see someone going through all the trouble of cutting the flange off the intake manifold and welding on the proper flange just to make the wrong intake manifold fit your engine.

hmmm..odd..guess you'll have to see for yourself..being a b16 nazi andrew.. the honda mech. knows honda well for sure..and he noticed it on his own =/

Post a photo if you could.

best thing i could source not being next to my car... the thing im referring to is the plenum the intake bolts onto..not sure if thats the throttlebody/intake manifold or both in one piece..

circled in GREEN is the intake manifold
circled in BLUE is the throttle body
circled in white is the short ram intake/intake tube

and the intake manifold looks proper in ur eyes andrew?

yup

The intake manfold is perfect theirs not wrong with it. I would bother upgrading it either if your motor is stock.

thats blue, dawg? :bling:

since your valve cover has almost no paint on it, you might as well paint the bastard! leats it will be easier!

Isn't it?
I'm colour blind, so that looks blue to me....lol

Get a AEBS manifold, best 170 dollars i ever spent, cheaper than skunk2 and obx,,, best bang for buck..

theres nothing wrong with his intake manifold....he was just under the impression that he had the wrong one.
Maybe your mechanic meant the intake tube....b/c the one in the picture is rediculously short....takes the term short ram intake to a whole new level....lol.

yeah lol could be..think im gonna relocate my battery when i install my system..and put in a cai
