Skunk2 Intake Manifold - !!!PROBLEM!!!
 

hey guys just installed a sick skunk2 intake manifold but im having a problem with it.

I will start the car and it idles perfectly fine, then when i go to take it for a drive and give it a bit of gas i can hear a low grumbling grinding noise.. what would that be.. here are a couple pics with some info on what i have done.

^^ this photo is of the throttle cable bracket plate i made up.. kinda sketchy but it does work and the cable is not getting caught when throttle is pressed

^^ i plugged the hose that goes to the first nipple of the iacv. would that be my problem??--> reason: .. i forget... for something tho

the hose im touching use to plug into the other side of the manifold.. (right side) (i also blocked that nipple off over on the right side beacuse with my civic i didnt need to use that nipple)

this is a straight above shot.. thats the main coolant artery on the manifold and there use to be 3 prongs on the stock honda manifold, this one came with only two. (the 3rd hose would have ran to the next pic.. the bottom of the throttle body)

this is the bottom of the throttle body. since there wasnt another coolant nipple coming from the main artery i have had to loop the two nipples under the throttle body with a hose. should i have done that?/??


please post all comments.. need some help here FAST

its hitting the brake splitter thing with the iacv, u need to make some room for it on the firewall

fer real thats all the noise is?? just parts rubbing?.. brake splitter..is that the one thats like a triangle with brake lines going thru it..
to fix it just bend it out of the way??

ok i moved that break connector to the side a little... im pretty sure thats what it is now ...later on in shop class i will bang it around a little. haha

took the car for a short drive.. wow the skunk 2 manifold actually increased my mid to high end power by a noticeable bit... very impressed with the part
