Manifolds and injectors

[Captain VTEC]

Hi all, just wondering what intake and exhaust manifolds you are using? at the stage of buying manifolds for my B20 hatch, thinking of going with Mugen Jasma headers and a Skunk2 pro series intake manifold with standard B16 injectors until I get the block re-sleeved . Just looking for some opinions

Why are you getting it "re" sleeved?

I don't think you need different injectors for an n/a b20, just stick with what's on the motor already. I can't comment on manifolds besides that skunk 2 manifolds have press fit water fittings that like to come out sometimes, maybe tap the hole and buy a threaded fitting or buy an edelbrock manifold.

Because the stock sleeves are notoriously weak and I plan on boosting it so they will be no good

Thanks man, I'll look into the eldebrock manifolds

So why are you wasting money on a header when you're going to be boosting it anyway?

Are you planning on making a lot of power?

I know why you are getting it sleeved, I was trying to allude to that fact that you are going to be wasting money on something you aren't going to be using in the end.

Sorry for being a bit unclear here, I have more than 1 b series and the b16 I plan to leave na once I get a shell for it and thought may as well get a good manifold and use it on the b20 before I boost it

Basically just want to know what manifolds are best for an na b series as I will be running the b20 na until I have all the parts to turbo it and then the b16 I have in the garage will be getting put into a shell and left na so will be keeping the na headers for that, sorry if the post was unclear

An LS/B20 header will sit low on a B16 engine, something to look out for.

I feel that bolt ons are kind of a waste of time on a b series as far as price per hp. I wouldn't waste money there that could go into solidifying your turbo car.

Thanks for the advice man I will just use the standard exhaust manifold off the b16 then and buy a good turbo manifold for the b20 now I think and then decide on what turbo system I am going to use
