i have a poor man's type-r in my 2000 ex coupe.
b18c1 block
b16a head.

the car isnt slow but i just want more power out of it without boosting it. one of my buddies suggested a skunk 2 intake manifold for a significant power increase. i have the stock b16a im on there now. any help would be much appreciated.

 

naaaawzzzzzzzzz

 

build the head...get a nice port and polish and you'll see a pretty good gain

 

so internally it is just a b18c1 block with a b16a head? put some ctr pistons in too

 

internally it has JE forged pistons

 

do you have any recommendations on which brand to go with on building head? i was told to go crower. but i also heard good things about skunk2. can you help?

 

sk2 IM w/ stock tb, w/ bisi valvetrain. this would be my vote....

 

the skunk2 im and the stock tb? ok. will that give me the same power increase as a skunk2 tb? thanks for the input

 

with a bone stock head, your not going to be gaining anything by adding a big tb. sure the increase in plenum will help with the breathing of the motor, but to much air flow will cause the airs volocity to slow down. this is where adding bigger injector and big cams would come into play.
