KMS manifold!?!?!?

I saw a vette on it last week get up to 212mph yes two hundred and twelve mph before the guy let off. It was supercharged and hella loud. Sad thing is, I saw him at the racetrack and he only pulled a 13.3 down the 1/4 mile while my friends POS v-dub bug pulled a 13.1

Are you sure? LOL That's hella sad, my friend ran a 13.3 in his super lightly modded Camaro SS (1999).

Guys....I swear that I'm trying to install mine, but the Honda dealership said it might be a couple of more days until I can get a gasket. I could have ordered it online if i would have known it was going to take this long. Trust me, I want it installed just as bad..if not worse than you do.

I took my intake manifold off yesterday while installing my new turbo. The intake gasket is reusable, I wouldn't even bother putting a new one on.

I have 52,000 on my car...I don't think I want to take a chance on using the original manifold gasket, but that is just my opinion.

It's also cheaper online. I have to pay $12.00 when the one I ordered comes in.

Rep Power: 0 I got the gasket today so I'll be installing it as soon as I get off work tomorrow. And you don't need 2 gaskets for the Adapter plate, you just use HondaBond for the bottom orffice and you use the factory O gasket for the top of the adapter that the Throttle Body sits on...Or that what KMS told me

Rep Power: 0 I just finished installing the manifold, but there is a problem. Everytime I start the car, it idles from 2000 to 1000 back and forth. I'm going to have my friend look at it to see what he thinks ....It was a lot harder to install then I thought, I suggest taking to a professional.

Rep Power: 0 I agree an intake manifold is not an easy job on our cars. Try the reset on the ecu and also with the new intake on the car the throttle cable might need adjustment unless the throttle body is in the exact place.
