4 Port Intake
You will need to make an adapter plate from 3/4-1" aluminum. JapantoLA had some sort of adapter plate, not sure of it's application. There have been some commercially made by a rotary shop in Australia. Same group that sells the Tweak-It throttle body kit, iirc.
Last time I checked, Japan2LA and Tweakit dont have an adapter but I can get it made. On the other hand, Rene (rotary works) can add the additional injectors to the lower TII intake manifold.

I want to do this the other way... wanted to put a later style manifold on an early 4 port.
Specifically, I bought a GSL-SE engine and I wanted to rebuild it with 12A end housings and make adapters so I could use my TII-converted 6-port N/A intake manifold... Confused yet?
There's kinda-sorta room to put the late bolt pattern on the early rear housing but not the front one. There *may* be enough room to put the early bolt pattern on the TII housings. There WILL be a port mismatch, however.

I said it was odd 
The 4 port housings have nicer flow and port timing characteristics than the 6 port, which is why an N/A TII is so much nicer than any 6-port. But the S4 N/A intake manifold works a lot nicer than the TII manifold. I mated the two, and it worked phenomenally well, even after my mind cleared from breathing in all the aluminum and JB Weld dust.
I killed the TII rear end housing (horrible scoring from the rotor hitting it) but I found a GSL-SE engine and knew I could make a four port out of it using the plentiful stock I have of 12A side housings in excellent shape... but the bolt pattern's different. So I blocked off the aux ports RX-8 Low Power style and bridge ported the secondaries. Haven't run it yet. Going to play with intake manifolds on this one as well, jump between GSL-SE and S4 N/A.
Next engine is already in the planning/acquisition stages... found another 12A, this one will probably be a fullbridge with quad 48mm throttle bodies. Why? Why the hell not?

Oh I forgot the good part... GSL-SE center housing so I can have integral fuel injectors and mate it to the FC crossmember easily.
Never did like doing anything simple when I could do it ***-backwards. (Name that quote!)

I would use a TII core and S3 internals. Mazdatrix offers a bunch of intakes for IDAs but I think you have to grind the proper port. Anyone know for sure. And what does it mean that they have no facility for the break servo
