Skunk2 Intake Manifold: Real vs China Copy B16 / B18c / D16
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Skunk2 Pro Series ordered directly from Skunk2 themselves and we compare it to the china copies we find online.
We cut the plenum open and analyze it and show you guys. We also port it and try to get the best of each origin manifolds for the intended set up and improved volumetric efficiency. Each engine set-up will like tweaks differently than the others and we talk about this and also the generic work needed that is common for all engines

Hey SRD...good video! ...also, if you look at the S2 pro series B Manifold, you will also find 1, 2, or 3 drilled dimples on the front side of the flange.

This is an awesome video I love your channel. I was wondering what intake manifold I should go with for a B20 VTEC with a stock B16 head and cams
@SRDmotorsports
Жыл бұрын
Oh snap!!! Thanks for that brother!!! Well given that engine set up U safe with a b16a p30 but for a lil more oomph believe it or not the “replica” manifold should work as the runners aren’t as big as the TypeR so it needs porting to match and exceed a TypeR Then for minimal work + gains for future mods like pro1 cams a TypeR p72 manifold should be golden or a real real skunk2 ofcourse

So I have a few questions, is porting a type r manifold better than just buying a pro series manifold? Also would a turbo setup benefit more from this? Another great vid brother
@SRDmotorsports
Жыл бұрын
Well… the real Skunk2 ProSeries (not china) is a shade better than the TypeR mainly on the casting internal size and thickness If ported? Then the skunk2 has a bigger edge over the OeM as the walls are thicker = let’s me port it more with MORE taper before cutting thru… actually both NA and turbo would benefit from it… just different sources of benefit like example on NA we know what’s up But on turbo if the manifold is ported well and helps improve or increase intake air speed on the runners = improves head port efficiency? Then a “big turbo” may lag less… or For the same 26psi u might make 12-15 even 20 more whp… hence we see set ups like both doing 500whp one makes it at 32psi but the other does it at 26psi? Il take the 26psi any day… less stress on parts and also what would it make if u crank it up to 32psi right??

Random question but do you think running a h22 intake manifold on a d16 is possible? I was thinking casting an adapter plate for it
@SRDmotorsports
Жыл бұрын
Maybe but the runners are too short and too big Reason it works for h22 is cuz stock stroke is already a shade bigger than a b20 which is 89mm and h22 is 90.7mm Especially when they run f22 cranks at 95mm stroke that piston speed is higher Hence the shorter runner “cut” h22 works good and plenum size is more the obstacle

Porting is always necessary sir.
I have bought a China intake but my d15z8 EU engine is stock only things that are done to it are an exhaust manifold and downpipe and a cold intake and a rear mufler. Does porting the China manifold do anything for me? I would say it will not benefit anything because I don't make that much power.

well the main point is original vs china the original is always better cuz the casting is real good and clean only when ported does the china become “okay” to compare

Chinese will copy almost anything 🤦🏽♂️ but on the bright side it has a lot of material to take off so you can shape the ports really nice, also if the knock off intake has more material it should weigh more than the original, so what's the weight difference?

True on the thicker wall… have not checked the weight difference but it’s definitely noticeable like almost a lbs or few diff not even ounces lol
I port these intakes too. Long story short. Stop buying Chinese intakes. Flange runners are offset too and dosent line up with gasket. Its a big L to use a chinese intake in your build.
