ok so the bracket came in on Saturday...i just installed it today took 5mins. the intake itself(SRI) weapon R i had to do some modding cause i found out that the thorttlebody is closer to the left(positioned differently than stock) AEM makes a edelbrock compatable intake but i just modded mine.......now for the test drive!

i drove to my Girlfriends house and on the way there the idle was erratic went from 1500-500 up and down....everytime i went to neutral....i picked her up started the car again, still did it...i needed gas so i pull into the gas station and fill her up.......after that i had NO idle problems...no idea what was wrong! its great it feel like its more responsive...seems like the RPMs climb faster after like 4000(i dont have Vtec)....O and after that i went back home and used some SeaFoam through the feul regualtor hose and DAMN!!!! holy smokes! lol but yeah she now idles a lil lower and steadier as well as accerate quicker!......I also put some in the gas and ill put some in the oil once i need an oil change

all in all if i bought the kit new with everthing instead of having to wait for the parts from edelbrock id rate it a 5 out of 5.

I could use that bracket just incase for when I buy mine if I don't get one.
I live in Canada, but i'll pay you for shipping?
PM me, I can do paypal, or send you a money order?

Did you keep your stock throttle body? What is the stock size on the d15's?

yeah i kept the stock throttle body, im going to end up swapping a D15b(JDM) only $400 for the engine!!! into her then boosting it with a t3/t4 turbo so i didnt want to spend the money, if i was going N/A i would have. O make sure you get the trottle body gasket cause making your own SUCKS!!!!!!

Ya I have the JDM D15b boosted with a 14b turbo at 9psi.
Should I upgrade the throttle body do you think and how do I know if it will fit the edelbrock manifold?
