Maxwell Ogos thank you very much brother ❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@aicelabellera3831]

Definitely a great upgrade!. Feel more throttle response and more on mid-high gain! Looks great as well. Any suggestion for an intake? Whale penis or cold air intake. Hit Tristan for any question or a hand fitting things out.

[@TURBOTRISTO]

aicel abellera I think a long custom alloy intake would be best tuck the pod behind the bumper in the gaurd

Is no video up on the Skunk2 idle air control valve setup can you do one please

[@TURBOTRISTO]

Check out the video I did where I did every bolt on in an N/A d16

[@toodamnhighgaming6296]

My guess on the grinding would be the carrier bearing in the gearbox possibly.

[@TURBOTRISTO]

I would say you are correct

[@XxpowerxX92]

ofc i got the throttle body that goes on the manifold which causes me a shit ton of problems. not to mention the coolant lines that go into the bottom of the manifold from the throttle body. i think im just going to go to a shop cause theyll have more of an idea on what to do than i ever will

[@TURBOTRISTO]

Give it a go man it’s satisfying

[@Thatboostedkseries]

Your second vacuum line in on the right side of the new mani on the front. Did u run that to the black canister above the water pipe ?

[@TURBOTRISTO]

yeah you can if you want the crank case ventilation to work like stock otherwise you can run that to a catch can and block the port on the manifold so you can keep the inlet clean

[@Thatboostedkseries]

You didn’t have any idle issues with running the stock throttle body? And I’m assuming you just got the block off plate for the idle air control valve ? Bec it’s dif on the skunk 2 manifold then it was my oem.

[@TURBOTRISTO]

yes everything stock will work on the manifold, but be sure to block all the other spare holes so you dont get a vac leak

[@donchan1622]

Thank for awesome video…!

[@TURBOTRISTO]

thanks Don!

[@antonioasencion78]

I bought a throttle body for my d16y7, who sold it sent me one with the different iac valve like a d16y8, and he told me that with the admission of skun 2 I have to adapt the iac, I see that you have no detail in adapting the iac will be that the acceleration body is different since my iac sensor cable has three pins and the one on the body that I buy only has the sensor for two-pin iac

hello, i also have an inlet of skunk2 for a d15b7 and bigger throttle body . I was told that he must definitely need and tune after this is correct? Because you just advance the timimg? Thanks

[@TURBOTRISTO]

I personally believe that on a dseries engine that is not turbo and only has air intake and exhaust the car will run fine and not need a tune, YES 100% if you tune it you will see an increase in power if you tune it! But other wise they don’t really do anything, on a twin cam Vtec car yes I would agree that you must tune your car after installing an intake like this because they are fine tuned and rev high over 8000rpm the air fuel mixtures change a lot in vtec cars

[@austinbates247]

Hey I know it’s years later but check this out, I have a d16y8 and upgraded the intake and throttle body to what appears to be the skunk2 but doesn’t have the symbols anyways same exact set up you got here but when I start the car it goes straight to 6-8k rpm’s right before redline so I shut it off of course I have like no power to my tps wires I multimetered them and only readings I get is on DC volts 200ms and it only shows 5.3-9.1 Molly bolts so basically no power right?

[@austinbates247]

I’ve reran a few wires for the power and ground lines back to ecu new wires just jumping just incase old factory wires got messed up and stuff but still no readings on just regular DC volts 20 that should read at idle 0.50 to open throttle as far as possible 4.45-4.60 volts but I get nothing like I said before I only see millyvolts

[@TURBOTRISTO]

If it’s got no volts that’s one thing but it should either stall or idle just on mechanical vacuum if it revs out to 6k there is a major vacuum leak find that first
