Type-R vs. B16 intake manifold????

[Rex_89]

How can you tell the difference between a Type-R intake manifold and a B16 intake manifold if the both use the same cast? Aren't they both P73?

I know the type-R has a slight port job, but can you tell just by looking. I have an intake manifold that says P73 and im just wondering if I can tell which one it is?

B16 Intake

Type R

i plan on running either a custom intake manifold or a blox

 

[RedLine42]

They look a little different the type R obviously has better flow. The B16 sord of curls upward while the C5 is straighter out.

Type R C5

B16

2000 Type R intake manifold OEM part#- 17100-P73-A00

2000 Civic SI b16 part #- 17100-P2T-A00

P73 = Integra Type R
PCT = Civic Type R
P72 = B18c
PR3/PW0/P30 = B16a

 

[Rex_89]

So which Intake manifold would you say this is?........

 

[Steven.]

if it says P73 its type R.

i dont think B16 and type r use the same cast, or they would look almost the same

 

[Rex_89]

yea it says P73. And yea on my second picture, where the arrow points to the sensor is where the Type R ones are right.

 

[Steven.]

thats the IAT- intake air temp sensor btw

 

[Rex_89]

so this whole time I thought I had a b16 intake manifold its been a Type R. Thats sweet. Wonder if the guy that sold me the b16 head knew. He sold me the head with this intake manifold and it was already converted to OBD-1 for $400. It was his friends.

 

[Steven.]

maybe his friend put the manifold on, or its a whole type r head maybe

 

[Rex_89]

oh s**t what if it was. That would be tight too. How would I check? I'd have to know the cam lobe size huh?

 

[slowcivic E G]

or its a whole type r head maybe

that would be nice.

 

[Rex_89]

no its not. I just checked and it say PR3 on it. Damn had my hopes up, well at least the IM is.

 

[Steven.]

cast maybe?

but they use teh same cast, but teh type r head is "hand polished"

 

[ST8JDM]

maybe you got lucky i'll post pics of my Many. later

 

[Rex_89]

Okay so what is the chances......? I just went outside and cheked my brothers motor. He has a B16 from a del sol. His head says PR3-3 on it, just like mine and his intake manifold says P73. What is the chances we both have Type R Intake Manifolds on them?

And is the air flow for the Type-R manifold better then the B16?

 

[RedLine42]

the Type R obviously has better flow

Aftermarket brands like Skunk2 and Blox I believe, use a similar design to the type R for the B series.

i belive also.

ill be making something liek this

but with a different plenum

 

[RedLine42]

Nice I know some people with custom IM because their other ones kept cracking under high amounts of boost . Skunk2, Edelbrock and Blox, OEM Type R are some good ones tho.

post up a pic of the cams. Get a good shot cams removed from the head. I'll tell you if they are type r or gsr or b16. need a pic of the opposite side of the dizzy though.
