naw sorry but i got my imrc wired up today and i feel a bit more torque in the lower rpm and i can hit vtec lil faster now. ill have some pics up of it wired up in a bit. i shall go to get it dyno see what my numbers are hoping to go on monday or wednesday

 

actually nevermind remembered theres some stupidd bills i gotta take care of first and i wont have 100 bucks to spend on dyno gotta wait till my next cheque now... ill take some pics today of the wiring to help people doing the swap and post up tonight.

 

does anyone prefer this mod than doing the p2r plenums? which way should have more gain?

 

p2r's dyno showed more hp gains on the 09 manifold than the p2r plenum... i still have to do my dyno i just had my tranny blow out on me and cost me lot of money to fix so im broke now just gotta wait a few weeks

 

your intake manifold blew your tranny?

 

lol naw tranny went out on natural causes i just wanted to let the patient ppl know why i havent done a dyno yet

 

sure, and they say video killed the radio star.

 

lol

 

Thanks... right now im deciding doing this mod or getting plenums instead. Someone is selling plenums used at a great price. You did not replace any gaskets? The top plate is not necessary right? (will probly just look ugly) lol. How was the IMRC hook up? easy?

 

Any diy on this?

 

why do you have 2 throttle bodies?

 

traction control throttle body in front

 

Ok guy i read this whole thread but nothing is mentioned as to why swapping to the 09 IM makes gains in earlier J-series motors and WHY. Would this also work for the 3rd Gen TL's like my 08 base? What changes were made in the 09 manifold???

 

the actual thread is on the CL side that explains everything. this is not a diy thread. this is a picture thread i made to show everyone it fits and can be done. i put the manifold on because i heard it made more gains than the p2r plenums.

and im not sure if it will work for 3rd gens youll have to search on that side

 

I recall seeing some threads about it on the 3rd gen side... You def won't find info for the here...

It makes more power because it has a bigger inlet, larger runner ports, minimal to no casting marks, and it's made out of magnesium alloy so it stays a hell of a lot cooler and is a good amount lighter... All in all it flows much better than the J32A2 plenum. More air = more power (as long as you have the exhaust mods to support the increased air flow...)

 

I saw that one or two 3rd gen tl guys tried it put then gave up and put the original back on because they had idle problems. I haven't seen If any of them finally got it done but I haven't checked inawhile

 

Okay so my question is. Can I do this same mod on my 03 TL none type s?? or can it only be done on a type s??

 

It is possible to do this on a TL-P. Just remember to port the runners while you are in there.

 

Yes it can be done on a tl-p and I will be ordering parts in the next few weeks to do it on mine

 

Make sure you post some pictures

 

I will

 

I'd think you'd see a bigger gain than compared to the Type-S due to the more drastic changes in flow. Keep us posted. I used to work for United Airlines in KJAX in the early 00's while in college a ERAU. I drove from Orlando daily..lol.

 

Im hoping to gain alot from it I just got to figure out to wire up the IMRC. Probably the msd window switch like people used with the type s intake manifold. That's a bit of driving going from Orlando everyday

 

You couldn't pay me to live in Jacksonville. Orange Park nor Jax Beach was nice to me. It reminds me of being in Georgia vs. Florida. I'll do central or south Florida anyday...
