When I built the motor we used the S4 Irons as my rear rotor and housing were toast from breaking an Apex seal at 120mph.



If you have the S5 intakes I would use those. That upgrade is better!!!!!!!!!

You don't it is impossible as they are two different beast.
If your going on what i said I stated that i used the S4 irons there for I did not have to worry about the gap between the two manifolds.
My motor is basically a S4 motor with S3 parts.

pic

i only have 2 till tomorrow im going to start cleaning my engine bay so im going to pull the intake mani off and get a better one.

pic 1 this is the alumeminum that i used i bought it from home depot for like
$ 10-15 for about 3 ft i used the same piece for my front mount oil cooler a few block off plates and such.

pic 2 you can see the bottom of the intake where i cut it down to size and bolted to the mani i drilled 2 hole in the mani and the aluminum used 2 lock washers and 2 bolts from home depot i also used teflon tape in the treads of the bolts. i think that the bolts are 3/4 to 1" in lenght. oh yewah i also used a thin spacer on the outter peice between the mani and the paice that i made bc there is an angle in the mani where you bolt it to the mani.
