Re: intake amnifold?

I think you should just leave it like that, I'm getting one of those for my LS integra and I'm happy wiht a 8-10 hp increase!... do some research and let me know if it actualy gives u more hp. (I dont mind a little more power)

You're not going to get 8-10hp out of an IM, unless you've got some motor work to help it out.

Personally I wouldn't bore it out unless you know how to do that kind of stuff, but even then. If you're confident in knowing what to do, you should just match port it. And don't make it smooth, leave it a little rough.

CivicSpoon if you increase the plenum size, and increase the velocity flow on the ports, as well as smoothed out the throttle body, you can see a good amount of gains.. even on a stock motor.. still... nothing beats ITB's.....
