I dont know, I think 68mm for F/I will be great. Im running that on my NA and it works just fine. With a turbo should be even better. I guess Ill soon find out!

I've got an 2000 LX, and it puts out plenty of power, but if I were to put in a skunk2 manifold, what's all involved in installation? Is it a hard or complicated thing to do, or just bolt on? If you don't put on bigger throttle bodies will you engine run leaner, or will the ECU compensate? Just a few questions, because that's a relatively cheap hp upgrade.

i'm going to put a mini me in my car and should i get the skunk 2 manifold for the D16Z6 or will a just plain D16 mnifold work, and what size TB should i get thanks and this is probably a dumb question but what do you guys mean when you say to port match the manifold with the TB?

^ I think the Skunk2 manifold is generic D series manifold.

Installation will involve some labor, but shouldn't be too difficult. Long as you know what you are doing its a bolt on proccess. You would notice a better gain if you would get an aftermarket TB, but not neccessary. Dont worry about running lean.

The stock d16 manifold will work fine really, but if you have spare cash the Skunk piece wouldnt hurt, especially if you're thinking about upgrading the cams some time in the future. Any after market TB will work, from 62mm to 68mm. Portmatching isnt always neccessary, only if your TB is bigger than the manifold. Then you would simply increase the diameter of the manifold to match to that of the size of the TB.

I think I would get an AEM fuel rail.. i have heard they are good on N/A... (although I'm not a huge fan of AEM )..... but what about the fuel injectors everyone? i've been wondering this too! stock, or what? I'm talkin about I/H/E with the skuck2 intake short ram and a bigger T/B. would bigger injectors be necessary?

p.s.- are those "blind tune" chips any good or should I dish out the extra cash for a hondata? sorry to threadjack, but hell it may be helpful to the threadposter (?!)
