Honda intake manifold
#486
Normaly I would not discuss price on the forum, but with as much interest as there is in this here it is.
Skunk 2 TB - $250
Skunk 2 Manifold - $230
Ftjandra flange - $150
Abe's awesome work - $ask him (Don't know if he wants to charge more than he charged me since it was his first one, and I don't want anyone to hold him to the price he gave me.)
Still need TB hose, and TPS sensor and other misc items. No more than $100
So far I'm out $730 before labor. I could have done a knock off manifold for $150, or a stock GSR manifold for ~$50-$100. I could have also done a knock off TB for $150, or a stock TB for ~$25-$50. I would never use another flange, because Ftjandra's flange was the ----.
I would say a complete top of the line Honda intake manifold with TB would cost ~$1000

Thank you Allen, for the opportunity.
My labor was $200. That's what I originally quoted because I thought it would be a simple cut/weld job. If I'd known I'd have to use offset spacers and fit them down into the recessed flange I probably would have quoted it a little higher.
The flange did warp some. I tried to straighten it on the belt, but the aluminum kept galling and gumming up. I'll try again with some lubricant, and if that doesn't work, it'll go to a machine shop to be milled flat.

No idea on nose over. I saw flat torque to 6k but I won't even begin to speculate on what causes the drop past that point.
Miata throttle cable works, expect to build your own bracket for it. B18 throttle bodies are 3-wire TPS. I do not have an idle valve.

Somehow i never subbed for this thread even though i've looked at it like 5-6 times on different occasion BSSSSS.. Soooo when are we going to get vtec cams too?
Also seeing that xfactor has the short runners, perhaps a 1-2" adapter that converts honda to mazda manifold flange that will also lengthen the runners to lower the power band range.
