In for more info.

 

Isn't the RSP a dual path manifold, like the old integra manifold, where a flap/valve opens at certain rpm to allow a wider, shorter air path, while at lower rpm the air takes a longer, narrower route?

 

No, it's not a dual path intake manifold with throttle valves incorporated to vary runner length. That's what I thought at the beginning but several people from the UK that have the FN2 confirmed to me that no valves existing inside the manifold.

Like I said before it's a three piece manifold. The top piece incorporates the runners, the second piece introduces additional runner lenght inside the plenum, and the third piece closes the plenum space. This manifold costs about $700 according to a dealership in the UK.

 

Oh, cool. So what's the chamber down below the main plenum? I think that's what got us all thinking it was a dual path manifold.

An interesting piece. I would like to see a back-to-back with an RBC.

Here is a link to the original CTR manifold thread:

Oh, cool. So what's the chamber down below the main plenum? I think that's what got us all thinking it was a dual path manifold.

I believe what happened is that the back portion of the trumpet from the runners was not inhaling enough air so they where restricted from making the manifold plenum wider in order to accomadate this restriction, due to space so they added a second floor in order to feed the back portion of the trumpet.

 

AROUND $800 us for one, if someone wants to take the plunge

 

That's about the price I got from a UK dealer. Isn't there a honda site in Europe that sells at a wholesale price?

 

Why? It looks closer to a K20A2 manifold than an RBC. It goes into the same pattern that the JDM CTR gets the newer-RBC styled manifold since the Euro CTR has not gotten the same goodies. Of course I'm speaking of the JDM CTR K20A versus the EDM CTR K20A2 in the EP3R. I just see this as an extension of that - give them an "R" . . . but only in name.

 

Yes, valid point. The JDM R has yet another manifold (looks like an RBC, but is a bit different) and that engine makes more power than the Euro one. The JDM engine does have improvements other than just the manifold, but the point being that Honda surely used the OEM manifold that is capable of making the most power when they built the JDM version.

The new Japanese model's engine output is higher than the European version's, with 222bhp (225 PS) being developed at 8,400rpm and 159lb ft (215 NM) of torque peaking at 6,100rpm (versus 198bhp at 7,800rpm and 142lb ft at 5,600rpm for the European model).

 

Even my friend at the honda dealer cannot get better price. The manifold looks hot for sure but I would really like to see it vs a rbc on a 280whp k24a... lol

 

I'd still have to say.. for the price your better off with an aftermarket.. until then theres gonna be a lot of overspeculation until someone is willing to get their hands on one of these..

 

On page 19 of this pdf file, you can see the three pieces of the FN2 intake manifold.

Okay, looking at the photo in the PDF, I'm inclined to think that the bottom passage is a sort of catch can for the PCV. There is only one port into the main chamber from the lower one, and the lower one is not connected to the TB.

The air from the TB must flow around the ends of the runners, so it does seem much like a PRB/PRC.

 

intake manifold 17100-RSP-G00

It also sounds like the intake manifold contains the plenum but you are going to have to ask,.

 

On the subject has anyone used the 2007 JDM FD2 intake manifold?

i would have thought that would have good gains on that too.

 

I thought the conclusion for that was it couldn't be used for now cause it was missing something. GT Motorsports or someone sells it.

 

Back from Dead

So this RSP intake manifold is on the FN2 Type R corect?

I have located a used FN2 intake and will get it to dyno on a K24 vs RBC.I want to be sure this is the correct one.

 

yes 100% RSP = fn2 type r = 4 piece IM :up: do it!!! I can't wait to see results. some euro guys have tested on a 2.0 & made more midrange but less peak vs RRC

 

a buddy of mine lives in london and ive been talking to him for about two weeks now about getting me one. he is coming to the states at the end of april and is going to bring it as a carry on for me. The only thing that sucks is it has to be ordered from Japan and could take up to 8 weeks to get =(.

 

I fitted an RRC to a European FN2 CTR. It made good gains over the stock manifold.

 

Check out and my question about the intake manifolds.

I can supply 1 NEW manifold with all sensors and throttle body. Price 700$ + shipping cost to USA from Europe.

I have brand new one removed from new engine to give room for ITBs!

double post

 

I've got one RSP intake in my bedroom since last October

waiting my car to get out from winter storage to put it on and post the results, I'll fit it on a K20A2 to replace my oem PRB.

I'm in Quebec, Canada

 

bump..

 

so no update with this rsp manifold?

 

I bet that would kick as on a k24a2...longer runner, lil bigger plenum.

 

Here's to the guys that looked for and found the information.:up: Here's to the guys with parts that did little but to say "I have one".

pickle puss

 

it's not even installed yet....

I've got other things to pay for now and I need the car running...

things didn't went as planned this summer... You'll have dyno comparison sometime in the future...

I am glad to see you alive!! If you want to get your car running I'll trade you my JDM K20a IM for you eudm K20a IM. Thanks in advance.

 

What is interresting with this intake is that you can change the length of trumpets and adjusted with the combination of motor that we have.

I don't know if this intake is better than the RRC...

 

Here you go guy's,
