    Skunk/Blox Intake Manifold B18

    in Engine & Chassis

    Haha, the map is a H-tune base one so I'm thinking maybe it's time to take the plunge and spend on a proper map. Thanks for the helps boys, much appreciated. 

     

    @noodels how are the Skunk 2 tuner 1 cams matey? Are they ok for a DD troquewise? As Krzy said, the car has very little torque low down now and I don't want to make that worse if I can help it  WACK11111

    Supporting mods are 62mm (I think) Dc2 throttle body, PW JDM intake, 2.25" mani/decat/exhaust and a p28 mapped on chrome with Vtec coming in at 5.1K and a redline set at 8.5k. If there is a difference in performance it is very minimal, but when speaking to Scott from Htune I was given the impression there should be very noticeable changes with the C4 when going with an aftermarket manifold. 

     

    Does anyone who has one fitted have a picture so I can make sure all the pipes are routed to the right location? When I let off the accelerator at high revs there is a big ptsh kind of noise which sounds like air is being purged and under acceleration there is a whistle. Just wondering whether its been fit wrong.

     

    Thanks.

    Hello, any owners on here running a Skunk2 or Blox IM on their C4? I've just fitted mine and it has a map to suit but in all honesty it feels slower than with the stock mani?? I'm not sure whether this is a placebo effect because I've potentially got more torque and power throughout the rev range because there is definitely less of a kick when vtec comes in now.

    Hey dude a friend of mine has a boosted eg with a d13 and he's using an ebay kit. From what he's told me, they're ok as long as you fit some type of heavy duty seals to the turbo or something? Apparently they get really hot and don't have adequate cooling but once you sort that out they work nicely.

    Wrote a long post but I hit back and lost it all :D

     

    Long story short, parts have arrived except from the pistons and mounts which I'm still waiting on. Nothing apart from discs, pads, fluid and gbox have been fitted yet, but I've finally got the FN so work will be commencing soon. Fitted a '96 S80 which is the 2nd best mod I've done to the car after the Meisters. Mahoooosive difference! My FN2 has a Tegiwa mani, exhaust, S2 CAI and custom flashpro map and is dyno'd at 228HP and the MB will see it off without any issues. Nightmare at 70mph though, sat at about 5k rpm :( Got in contact with Fibreworx so they'll be making some CF DC2 style fog inserts for the MB soon, so if you're interested in them keep a look out on their website. Family member has got an FK2 Type R on order as well, so managed to jump in for the test drive. What a beast. Oh and the AC has been stripped, weighed in at around 2 1/2 stone :P

    Couple of wee updates on this :)

    Managed to snag my uncles fn2 at the start of this month which meant the old Mb has been stuck in the garage for the past few weeks but funnily enough I Got a call at work the other day from a friend over on civiclife telling me that Tegiwa now offer finance on their stuff at a good rate.

    Now the plan was to either sell the mb6 and use the money from it to get stuff for the fn2 or keep both and use the mb as a track and occasional weekend/meet car. Looks like Tegiwa made the choice for me :)

    So after a good few hours of research with my mechanic mate, the following was ordered :

    Sk2 pro series intake mani

    Sk2 alpha exhaust mani

    Sk2 valve springs and ti retainers

    Wiseco b18 pistons

    Sk2 con rods

    Sk2 stage 2 tuner cams

    Sk2 Valve stem seals

    Sk2 comp fuel rail

    Gates low temp thermo

    Sk2 66m tb

    Sk2 dc2 full length rad and fan

    Sk2 rad hose kit

    Oem head gasket and engine top gasket kit

    Tegiwa baffle kit

    Innovative billet mounts

    Tegiwa torque damper

    Ferrera valve guides

    D2 oil catch can kit

    Arp head studs and main studs

    Oem oil pump

    Oem dizzy

    And then separately I've gone for ds2500 pads front and back and then stoptech grooved up front and Oem disks on the back and nearer the time I might go for a set of track tyres depending on the condition of the ps3s on there now.

    I'm also really interested in seeing if any body shops can fabricate air duct fog inserts like you can get for the dc2 and eg etc

    Im going to strip away the sound deadening stuff that's like tar, but apart from that the interior will be left alone, bar swapping out the front seats

    Parts should be here with 2 days and up to 3 weeks depending on availability. I only have Sunday off so working on it is going to be a pain, but at least I won't have to rush it and make sure I do it properly.

    Also on the hunt for a 98 spec s80 if anyone has one let me know :)

    Not updated this in a while but I have been doing a few things :)

     

    Got the car setup at Tdi North with their fast road setup and it went from being wow to being seriously wow. Honestly, if you've got adjustable shiny bits on your M and your debating whether to get it setup by someone don't even wait. Forget about tyre wear, it takes the handling and planted feel to a whole 'nother level.

     

    Secondly, I went a bit mental with the spray can and did everything bar the one thing I actually wanted to do which was the chrome strip  WACK11111 I sprayed the front fog covers, strut bar, plug cover, I mean I got so bored I sprayed my 6x9 speaker surrounds Pirates black -.-. 

     

    Finally, I'm at a kind of crossroads with the old MB6. On the one hand, I fookin' love it when I'm nailing the bits off it, it's a seriously good handling car in my opinion. On the other hand, when driving normally, the wheel/tyre combo and suspension make it a very hard to just cruise with. Because of this, and the fact I've got a full time job whilst being off Uni, I'm debating whether I put it back to standard then sell the car and parts and just buy my uncles FN2 for cheap and do that one up. Or whether I should say fook it and just boost it and take out the interior and just keep it as a track car and buy something cheapish like the Accord Sports.

    I have spotted oil in my engine bay. What next?

    Mine has oil in the exact same position mate but I haven't had any real HG symptoms yet. The car doesn't use any oil, doesn't overheat but it does use water and it's gotten pretty smokey at idle but I'm attributing that to the recent cold weather and straight through exhaust. I think it'll probably just be the rocker gasket mate, and I did read before that it could be the Vtec Solenoid leaking a bit.
