I'm sick, guessing the flu got me, but as soon as I'm ok I will measure stock and B16 intake internal diameter.

Sorry, should've done it before :?
Good recovery !

if it is easy for you can you upload a current picture as i am interested in this tube (b16). Is there a difference between d16 tube and b16 one? The one i have uploaded on the 1st is from a d16 right?

Fully recovered! :D

Yup, in the picture it is a D16 tube, which is narrower, the B16 is thicker thus allowing more airflow and throtle response.

Will post the measurings today!

Thanks! If you could post a pic i would be grateful. I would like to buy one but they are after 40e which is too much for a piece of rubber.

I had both and a B16 intake tube is bigger ,it's also too big for your stock D-series TB to clamp on (or you need to sqees it with a clamp) .B16 has a bigger Tb and offcourse a bigger diameter intake tube.The Stock D-series TB is 64 mm outside a Stock B16 would be around 70mm outside diameter and the intake tube inside diameter would be to.

You have to use the intake tube with the fastener (clamp) of the stock intake tube... the B16 one was to big, so I changed it and re-used the one from my D16.

Does a Wai pipe from an eg fit my ej9, it has to go with a Y8 IM and a blox filter...

A "normal" pipe looks a bit small with the velocity stack :lol:

I can tell you this is too big voor a D14 engine. Before i got an 55mm aluminium intake tube with AEM dry air filter. The throttle respons was much better, but foor the looks is the whale penis nice.

So this one is for sell. Only we have got no selling forum.. :lol:
