Yeah same as the ATR inlet manifold (Which the Skunk2 is very similar too). You may gain a few bhps at the high end of the rev limiter depending on your other mods, but you'll loose power low down and mid without a proper tune.

Id say get a plm tri-y exhaust first and get it fitted everything you do after that should show some gains
Ive gone the budget route with plm&2.5" catback, 52mm 5th gen tb, Type S intake and Type S cams - ECU has V2 Spoon Chip.
I dont see why you cant include cams in your build its not expensive to buy and fit them
You can sell these parts on once you get the Hondata & ATR Inlet&money for a tune

Ignore power.
Get the torque up. Torque = acceleration. Very underrated.

How do you get the torque up on a honda noticeable though without going forced induction?

This is my worry with spending $700+ on an inlet...NafemanNathan wrote:Yeah same as the ATR inlet manifold (Which the Skunk2 is very similar too). You may gain a few bhps at the high end of the rev limiter depending on your other mods, but you'll loose power low down and mid without a proper tune.
Will I gain anything with an egr and butterfly delete on my standard manifold for now?

Well to be honest the only cams I've looked at are the skunk 2's and when you add the price of springs and retainers it will cost me like $1500 and there aren't a lot of JDM ludes here, think I read on a forum there's only like 2 type S ludes in the country and there are no type r accords at all so parts like that are almost impossible to find here..

I'm coming back to uk in September so I might rob the spoon chipped ECU off my bb4, I have tried to aquire a chip on here lately but don't think there available..
Shipping costs are emense here also as nothing is made here and the Honda scene is so scarce so it comes from America, UK or China..

$700 on an inlet manifold?!
Wait, how much is that?
To be honest, if you're not doing cams, keep the IAB's. They're designed to help with torque low down, they then open when needed

Ahh yeah I suppose, that's right but sometimes I'm sure they must be slow to close/open on my h23 at present because it feels laggy when pulling from some junctions at speed, maybe just that perticular car..
