I can get the "type II" intake manifold for $75 plus $25 for shipping. Is it worth the swap to my motor?
It would fit, right?

 

It is worth it. $100 is not that much for type II IM. You will need new gasket and some injector rings. You will definitely feel the diff.

it is direct swap..

 

Bolt on and go!

 

that is cheap...

 

Very cheap.


DOOOOOOO EEEEEEEETTTTTTT

 

Where does it make the diffetence? More top end, or torque?
I could probably get the cams as well, but they would cost a lot

 

Ken Or ken1997tl need to chime in about the cams.

I didn't feel any difference at lower rpm but top end is awesome. Mated with a good CAI it is very nice and relatively cheap mod we 3.2er's can do.

 

I just ordered it. It doesnt come with a throttlebody... please say i can use my old one!

 

I believe so.

 

Yes.

 

Sweet. Thanks guys! I will let you know how it turns out

 

The type II intake manifold is beneficial in the aspect that it provides minimal low end torque loss (not noticeable) and noticeable top end horsepower gain. It is a much more open and smooth flowing design.

Type II cams should be used in parallel with Type II ecu and Type II FPR for maximum benefit. But if you've done all that work already on type I heads, you might as well swap to full type II heads and save some hassle. The result of just type II cams alone on a type I motor is unknown. As far as I know, you should expect less low end torque and more top end horsepower if you use the cams, although it doesn't help very much if your shift points are still in accord with the type I setting.

 

Is there anything i can do to get a little more low-end? I dont really want the noise of a cold air intake.

 

You will most likely won't feel the difference in the low end. Stock intake is good if you don't want any noice. Just remove resonator for little growl.

 

Low end loss is negligible. You'll feel a noticeable increase in power past 3900 rpms.

 

Off topic a bit, but does the tl share a rear sway bar with anything? I'd like to get a better one, if possible
I will have to try removing that silencer

 

5th gen Accord I think.

 

I think Colt had to custom weld the RSB so that it would fit.

 

Mike, you forget that I have a rear sway bar, and no welding was necessary. The only thing that needed to be done was to slit the new bushings to fit into our factory bracket. The endlinks fit fine.

I'm using a Tanabe one, BTW:

And you took it from an accord? The one on my car is so tiny...

 

Trust me, even our stock one is an upgrade for them, haha.

The new manifold came today. I will post some pics of how they are differend. Its really a cool set-up

 

It is a lot different with lots of space in Type II.

So you are installing it tomorrow?

Obligatory

 

Im having the type ii cleaned before i put it in. Im still waiting for my gaskets to get here. Hopefully i can start putting her back together tomorrow.
My injectors are So gross! And so are all the "secondaries"

Does the Gs have better exhaust manifolds? I can get those for $50 each

 

This is what came out of my car

 

And this is from the legend...see the diff?

 

Yea. Needs lots of cleaning though.

whats up with all that oil in the TL manifold?

 

its not ALL oil, lol. I sprayed some degreaser on there before the picture. it is nasty though, isnt it? The butterflies werent any cleaner.
The legend intake is being chem-tanked right now.

Will my old plastic engine cover still go over the new manifold?

 

Only one side was slightly larger, so no point in switching them out.
Yes, it should be fine since you're still running the original fuel rails, and that's where the cover bolts on.

~Cheers~

 

Oh, and here's mine after a hand-cleaning:


I can only imagine how clean yours is going to be!

~Cheers~

 

Did your gasmileage change?

 

No, because the manifold is still sitting on the floor, haha. Never got around to installing it. Maybe soon...?

~Cheers~

 

It hasnt been to bad of a project so far

 

Do you have Type II badge on the manifold??

 

It used to, but its been pryed off

 

did you take it off??

 

I didnt. I wanted it to be there. It looks cool... kinda sad
I can probably make a sticker
