i got a civic 2000 ex . i got cold air, header, exhaust, msd coil,cap, wires,iridium s.plugs, engine ground kit. i just got a skunk 2 intake manifold for my car cheap.....(50 dollars cheap)... i heard these are only good on dohc, n that i would loose hp unless i do a cam swap... wuts true... does n e 1 recomend i get my car tuned, even though its a sohc?

 

Bull, a skunk2 intake will increase HP on any motor single or dual cam. It would help to get a bigger cam but not neccessary by any means.

 

so if i put it on i can leave the stock throttle body? u think i should have it tuned?

 

well do u have something to control the fucl...like a vafc, or an s200? if not there is no need for tuning.

 

if heard of those things a lot reccently, but wut is it?(fucl...vafc). and if i did tune my car wouldnt i get more hp n e ways, esp wit the stuff on my car?

 

well the apexi afc contros the fuel, its about 375. the programble ecu s200 (piggy back) is around the 200 but it has more features, controls fuel, vtec point, 3 step revlimiter, datalogging. other than the fuel. tou couldnt tune ur car anyway unless u have adjustable came gears or sumthin to control the fuel.

 

You can put on the Skunk2 intake, it will work fine with your stock throttle body, and theres no need for tuning just yet. The more mods you get, like bigger injectors etc then than would almost be neccessary.

 

alrite then, ima put it on, hey civic 93... wanna run......jk

 

i think super street just installed one of these on a civic sohc and it made 4-6 hp???? something like that, however, as previously stated, with more mods or boost, its efficency increases

 

was that on a stock application? can you check again to see for sure how many ponies that was? Thanx man!
