- One of the most searched how to’s for the 9th gen community is regarding the RBC manifold swap. It would be awesome if it was just a matter of taking your old manifold off and replacing it with the RBC, however it isn’t that straightforward. In this video, I go over the entire process showing you how to install an RBC manifold on your car, and how to extract the most amount of power while doing so!
I truly hope you guys enjoyed this video! If you have, help me out by liking the video and stay staying up to date with my ▼

FOR THOSE INSTALLING THE KTUNED WATER BYPASS, I suggest tapping the cylinder head and using the included hardware to guarantee the bypass won't leak. I had no issues for the first couple of weeks, but then noticed it had a slow leak from that area. After tapping and using the additional hex bolt, I've had no issues since.
Did you record it? Plz post if you did!
Just got a cnc ported badguys worldwide rbc and this vid helps out a lot
Did you max out the stock injectors? Did you switch to the rdx injectors? If so did they fit in the stock 9th gen si fuel rail or did you have to get an aftermarket fuel rail?

Again, Chrisfix level quality when it comes to these videos man, you deserve millions of views. Good job as always man!
I was thinking this guy is the asian car scene version of foureyes 😂 very quality and to spec mechanics
By far the BEST install video I’ve seen on the RBC intake manifold swap for us 9th gen owners. Thank you for the clarity and in-depth details! Can’t wait to go FBO on mine🙌🏼
You're very welcome brother! I'm hoping these videos help people out who are trying to accomplish the same thing as myself! Go fast 😁
So much has happened in my life recently, and I can't wait to share it with you guys in 2 videos from now!! I'm talking BIGGGG NEWS!!!
car start and drive test?
WAYYYYY BIGGER NEWS!! 🙌
Ahah you'll have to wait and find out 😂
@@milanmastracci You finally gave up and sold the R56 mini? 😂
Can’t wait to see the POWUH!!! This is exactly where my 9th is at but I’ve deviated to make some supporting mods for when I go boosted in the near future. Also working on aesthetics atm. Great video as always!
Idk how I end up seeing this video as I'm not a Honda fan but I will say this is one of the most detailed mod videos I've ever seen. Great job man 👌
Ok, I wasn’t actually looking to do anything to the intake, but actually doing a starter swap. It seemed like this was the best way to get to it. After watching your video, we decided to remove the intake manifold to get to the starter. It was absolutely the best way to get to the starter. Long story short, your video saved my ass!!! Started swapped, intake manifold reinstalled, and running and starting like a champ! Great video!! Thanks so much man!!
Ladies and gents if you’re search for a video on how to rbc swap your 9th gen you have clicked the perfect video for that! Just follow everything he says and you will be fine. Dude you have the best video on CZcams to how to rbc swap a 9th gen. I legit followed everything you did. It made this installation flow much easier than I thought. I had my own obstacles when swapping out the intake but never the less your video helped a ton. Thanks man
Hands down the best video on CZcams on how to swap an rbc intake manifold on the 9th gen. Thank you 🙌
I appreciate that! Thanks brother! 👊
This is the best rbc 9th gen video I’ve ever seen. Thank you good sir!
Very well spoken and illustrated. This is one of the best installation videos I've seen on CZcams. Keep it up.
Glad you liked it!
Super high quality, in depth, detailed video. This is super helpful 👍
Glad you think so brother!
Another smashing video. Love your detail and clear explanation
Thanks brother! I really appreciate it 🙌 Don't forget to share it
ive got a 7th gen accord build and this is by far the best video. i couldnt find much info on the middle parts that you had, just removing and tightening up really. but this showed me the proper way to do the fuel injectors. i wish i saw this before
Glad you liked it!
What did you do with the pcv valve
Honestly you did a great job explain how to do everything w/ this install. Thank you
I'm happy to hear that Mac! Thanks brother 👊
This details give me so much confidence..
That's what I like to hear!!
Started watching you when I had my mini Cooper and now I'm close to getting an si lol. Your videos are so well put together
big W for the upgrade
Best video gonna be following along step by step on the build. FBO you’re my guy💪🏼💪🏼
At last a good RBC swap video 🔥💯 keep the good work
Thanks! Will do Bayron! 🙌
Nice & informative video, I was able to watch this right through whilst being super sleepy. Thank you very much sir
You are most welcome!
I cant wait to do this install, Thanks for your knowledge and content 🙏 yes after Hondata

Glad I could help Jayion! Be sure to give it a like and share if you don't mind 👊
Rsx you have to cut the RBC intake mani to fit properly
@@milanmastracci any idle issues with the zdx throttle? I
Very eloquently and clearly explained. I prefer wrenching on domestic V8s but enjoy any good technical car vid. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks for the sub Derf! I appreciate the feedback 👊
Excellent video
Best video ever exactly what I was looking for
Thanks brother! Be sure to share it 🙌
I’ll probably never own this car and do this mod, but great video! Very informative and helpful for those who will
Thank you Lenz!! I gotta say these cars are so much fun and reliable as hell. If you can scoop one up, do it! 💪
@@milanmastracci I’ve currently got a 9th gen accord coupe with the 3.5 V6. It’s my first build and I’m slowly learning the ins and outs of modifying it and the j series motor
Just got my rbc I can’t wait till I get mines on
Great video. Very informative.
Very clean install 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you Carlos!! 👍
Yo this is hella great vid for step to step install
hi , awesome video mate, been following ur channels and videos, thank you so much for the knowledge sharing, checking your channel almost every day for the new episode of your civic si mods. keep it up!
Awesome, thank you brother! New video will be coming this week 🙌
@@milanmastracci wow. I am so excited. Thanks mate!
@@milanmastracci Hi mate, how are you? Really hope you are doing great, waiting for your new video for sure mate!
Milmast. Thnx for all details
Now I know what to do.
Keep doing this bro 😎 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My pleasure Armando!! 😊👊
ayyyeeee might have to do this in the near future , great video!!
Thank you brother! When you hear the RBC's induction noise, it makes it all worth it!
Hi Milan, a very nice job, just FYI I just had a complete bumper to bumper body touch up on my 09 Accord. She looks like new. Now I need the drivers door leather done over. I'd still like to get dual exhaust installed like your 09. Be well, Tom
Thanks Thomas!! That's awesome. I bet it feels like new car ahah. If you're able to find a V6 exhaust too, it will work on the 4 cylinder models. Inexpensive upgrade 👍 Take care!
awesome video! makes me wanna paint my rbc!
Do it brother! It honestly looks good in so many colours.
Outstanding video 📹 congratulations.
Thank you so much 😀 Glad you think so! Be sure to share it 💪
RRC Intake manifold has got a factory cooling water bypass.
I wonder if that fit on my K24A engine.
This project gives me the creeps so far. The fun part will be awesome but so far that FD2R was giving me heartaches and headaches.
Looking good and keep it up. Good and detailed video for what I could see.
Bro used a door stopper as a plug 😂 props to you for your innovation!
Great video
Awesome channel, I don't even have a Honda but I'm enjoying this video lol
I'm happy to hear that! 👊
Very good narration 👌
Glad you liked it Jose!!
Really like the finish of the intake
Likewise! I was unsure how I was going to like it, but it turned out pretty good.
This channel is quality 🔥
Thanks Marcos! Feel free to share it 👊
Awesome video bro. I haven't seen anything new in a while. I hope all is well.
Nice work bro!!!
Appreciate it man!! 👊
Yey civic is back!!!
WOOHOO!!!! 🍻
Brother about time mis your videos thanks
Amazing job
Thank you! Cheers!
Another masterpiece.
Thank you my guy! 🙌
Wow this video is well done
Thanks Earl! Give sure to give it a thumbs up 👍 and share 🔥
this dude needs buy an RSX Base and do this whole video over with it, so clear explanation and walkthrough completely fool proof anyone can do it following his video
Hey love all the detailed video you upload I have a 370z and was wondering when you changed your sway bar did you get a click when at low speeds from sway bar links everything is torqued to spec
Very interested to see the comparison dyno graph for the torque curve, and powerband curve after the Pro-Tune. 😎
Oh its coming 😁 What are you expecting for power? Any ideas?
@@milanmastracci all together, you should be in the 225-230 whp club, if not a touch more.
@@dubzc5895 he would be lucky to make 215 on nicks dyno, I have the exact same setup minus the j37 TB I made 210 WHP, the RBC is all hype on these 9th gens, the head doesn't flow good enough to benefit from it, there is a reason why Honda never put RBC manifolds on k24s
@@k24z7_ needs to that k20 type S head.
I don’t even have a Honda, but I watched the whole thing, because… damn this video is a perfect how to
Thanks Timmy! I appreciate the feedback 🙌
Good job. U got some part that I should of got but then I'm on budget. But I got mine done. Hope to see your graphics
That's awesome! Have you put your car on a dyno yet to see how much power it makes?
@@milanmastracci I did put it on the dyno but didn't get a full tune on it since my buddy and I had a short time. He only did a couple of pulls. After that I just data log for him to adjust some more stuff to make it run good. I need to go back and dyno tune again.
Why i didn't this video existed when i did my swap a year ago🥺💔 my set up is so nasty dirty mechanic shit😭 bruh i pulled my harness to make it connect to the ktuned tb even my battery wiring is so messy. Thanks for this video im thinking about re doing my set up to make it cleaner already ordered the stuff u used🙏🏾 ty bro!
Happy to help brother! Well now that you found my channel, hopefully the other DIY's and projects I have coming will be helpful to ya 👊
@@milanmastracci you is a hero keep it up bro!!
love the video quality and commentary. shame you didnt get a 10th gen Civic.
Looks good bro nice
I appreciate it Robert 👊
Question. If you already have the ktuned adapter kit for the rbc. All you have to buy is the fitting and a hose and it should work? Or do you have to do more than that to modify the adapter?
Great video as always. K24z3 right here with ported head and a crapton of mods… all motor. Looking to know more about the ZDX tb, as I was thinking about it, but kept hearing that there are voltage issues as it demands more of the ECU and needs to be pinned elsewhere or it will blow the ecu eventually. If ht stick with Skunk2.
The ZDX TB does require a pro tune as it does pull a bit more power, however has been a tested and proven option. What I have seen as well, is when people run larger TB's, they will actually open up the TB and swap a stock 9th gen TB electric motor in it, so the only thing that is different is the physical size of the port.
@@milanmastracci Ive done the zdx throttle body and ported rbc to match and I'm having the idle surge, my tuner told me I need to do a idle relearn. Will that truly make it stop? I don't have any vacuum leaks at all, everything is tight. Just started my tune.. did u change ur stock throttle body motor over to the zdx or no? I was thinking about doing it.
I’m going to use this video to remove the manifold to access the alternator power wiring, curious how it will be different w stock intake box
RBC will definitely play a role in the top end
I can't wait!! 🙌
I felt it when I went from the prb mani and the RBC. Hits redline harder with the rbc
Hey Milan! Love the videos thank you for everything. Just curious how the ecu cover comes off, I’m trying to get the part number for it so I can download the iOS hondata app
Is there a reason you need to remove it for the app? I believe there is only one app 👍
This should help: czcams.com/video/mE2VQ9XNYj8/video.html
very great video, and easy to understand. Please tell me how much did all the tuning parts cost you? How much more HP did you get from this? and I have a big request for you. Since I would have to order the parts from Germany, I need a detailed parts list of the things you installed. and where I can get them. So that nothing is missing when I start the renovation. I would be very grateful for your efforts.
Do these intake manifolds fit on the 03-07 Honda Accord 2.4l because they fit on the 04-08 Acura TSX
Have an 06 type s and was wondering if the skunk2 pro would better intake manifold for it?
You just got a new sub in me
Hell yeah brother!! How much gains u hoping for, are u guna raise the redline any?
Sure am!! I'll be able to find out how much when I get it tuned 💪 Next video to come!!
Nice vlog
Thanks Paul!
Very very nice videoo!
Hey love your content btw!!! But Ik this video was uploaded a minute ago but was wondering if you could help me out… I’m installing the RBC on a k24z3 and the fuel injectors are different no surprise. But I’m wondering if these fuel adapters here will work for the k24?? Or maybe you know an alternative way??? Thanks In advance
Milan i think of swaping my accord manifold to the Rbc one . what do yo think will it work
Did you have any issues the injector adapters? That's the route I want to go, but I've heard someone say that they mess with the spray pattern.
hay was just wondering if this is the same parts for your accord
Do you need the throttle body adapter to run the stock drive by wire throttle body ?
Where did u get the extension harness for the throttle body ??
If you stick with factory injectors do you still need to install the injector adaptors? Ive been given conflicting information and would really appreciate a response. Thank you tou!
Answer = yes
I don’t have a civic , I have an 2009 Honda accord 4 cylinder sedan with the k24 can I run the same engine setup like you ?? And are you going to turbo ,? I would also like to throw some boost to my accord
I could use your help witha question, I have a 2012 Honda Accord i4 witha K24z3 full stock engine , and I'd like to know what aftermarket manifold to purchase.?? I can't seem to find a clear answer. Your vids have been very helpful.
Civic upgrades are your best bet for compatible modifications since these engines are almost identical. Shoot me an email to milanmastracci@gmail.com
What you did about the 2 vacuum connections on the throttle body?
So if I’m using rdx injectors, I would need the p2r injector hardware still?
hey i have a question. i have a honda accord with tsx intake manifold and i was thinking of doing that intake manifold coolant bypass. problem is, right in that spot i have the coolant temp sensor which has a bigger thread. Would i have to buy k-tuner's coolant temp sensor and replace it? would i need anything else? I can't really find anything on the internet. Thanks to whoever helps.
Will this upgrade with the manifold work with the Skunk 2 CAI?
will the stock rbc mani work if u dont cut off the water neck do i use the k24z intake gasket or the rbc gasket
Hey bro is there anything you can do to the 9th gen accord? As far as manifolds and headers. 2.4 esrthdreams cvt
Is it doable to install a J37 Intake Manifold from a 2010 Honda Oddessey onto a 2006 Acura MDX 3.5L? Will they match? I also got the lower runners from P2R, with Thermal gaskets and a spacer for my TB.
Hey Milan! Love the channel! When will you be swapping the cylinder head for the K24A2?
Very soon! I have a bunch more parts to install on the car to get it ready for more power 👍
@@milanmastracci awesome! Can't wait to see what you have planned! Keep up the incredible work! 🤘
Thanks Bob! I appreciate the love ✌️
I used a z1 head from an rsx-s. It breathes better than k24a2 head up high, but not running TSX cams. Be fun to mix match parts and dyno to see the differences.
Porting the manifold inlet to 70mm would you still be able to run stock throttle body?
How much did you spend all upgrading from stock? In your personal experience and opinion, is it worth it? Thanks
Good quality video. I'm New to the rbc intake, looking into getting one, was wondering what rbc ported vs non ported means?
So you didn’t run the prl adapter other than the prl TB spacer?
what gasket do you use for intake manifold? k20z3?
Quick question u didn't have a prl tb adapter where do i route the vacuum hose? Because i saw that you routed the 2nd vacuum hose to the prl adapter. I don't know where to put mine, i also have a skunk2 intake and i had to make it short ram because I can't find a coupler that fits 72mm tb that is compatible with the skunk2 intake design. Any recommendations bro? So i can fix my wirings management for battery and so my engine bay won't look messy? Thanks you bro! I'll appreciate it so much if you can help me 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Does the skunk2 have a coupler that works with the larger TB? I haven't looked into Skunk2's intake much after finding Acuity's intake kit & battery relocate. It seemed to be the best overall intake, the most well-engineered, and you can buy a bunch of different couplers should you change TBs or IMs down the road 👍
Boss plug n play no need to reflash the ECU?
What happened to the accord build.. lol. Was the 300 mark ever made.. I was planning a build similar but couldn't find out the piston to valve clearance issue.. so far the k24a1 is the only block I know that will accept a k24a2 head
I have a k24z3 Tsx. Is it possible to swap out my manifold as well? with a 8th Gen one?
I see your video, I auto like!
Legend!! 💯
Is it possible for me to install this manifold to my 2nd gen 2.0 crv k20a engine?
thanks in advance
