I was also thinking of getting a skunk 2 intakes with a 70mm skunks 2 throttle body, should i do it or not?

Help me out guys, youve been great to me so hopefully you guys can hellp me out

@ civic209 - nah, maybe next build lol What was your old car? i love 4 doors, somtimes 2 but i mostly love 4.


That eBay listing you have there looks sketchy.

I'd be wary of buying performance parts off of eBay, at least no-name performance parts. Some stuff, it's ok to scrimp on(exterior, interior,non-mechanical/performance), but when your motor is on the line, especially when you're going to be exceeding factory tolerances by boosting.... do not buy cheap parts! Go name-brand for internals, and do your research as to which brand is best... it's an investment, and you get what you pay for.

You might save a couple hundred bucks on the front-end, but it's for a critical component, which means when it fails, you're looking at thousands of dollars out the window, and that money you "saved" is gone.

Like, there aren't even any spec sheets or any info for those pistons. If you're planning on boosting, you want forged pistons that can take the extremes, and there's no way to even tell whether these are just cast OEM replacements, or forged parts!

Go with trusted brands for your motor, bro.

@ Decipher - i may just buy the pistons, rods and crank. I'll go buy name brands like you said like hks or blitz or other branks like that. Thanks for the help man, you've been helping me out a lot and i thank you so so much. you got a good point there that if i go cheap i may save some $ but if it dies i will be a lot to repair.

@ FAITHhasME - I don't need sleaves? Thank you, you just saved me a boat load of time and money! The most i seeing this car in hp wise is 230TOPS , mostly likley less. with all the turbo and intake and stuff like that done to it.

The intake end of it i was looking at this by skunk2.....

@ FAITHhasME - I'm not really looking to get the absolute most HP out of it all, i am just looking to have the engine breath more easly so when i have it boosted it wont have trouble breathing.
