Anybody ever attempted to match a 3rd gen intake manifold to a turbo II motor?

 

You can't bolt a FD lower manifold to a FC block. They don't match. With some work you can fit a FD upper manifold to a Series 5 (but not Series 4) FC lower manifold. It requires some bolt hole modification and port matching.

Unless you're shooting for a lot of power, the gains don't really justify all the work. Most people seem to want this just for looks anyway.

 

I was only wondering because that is exactly what I am doing and am just wanting to see some results people may have had.

 

my setup :

That is a dang sexy setup. What kind of numbers are u getting???

 

If you do the fd mani your going to need a elbow for the IC piping. And you will also either need a spacer or a custom made IC piping . the FD mani dose not come as far to the right as the s5 uim.

I've got the elbow allready, also, I have a little more room to work with as this motor is not going into an RX7. Just my little AE86, but it has a little more engine bay room to work with because it's supposed to have a big iron block 4 cylinder in it.

 

can you make another adaptor plate for the throtle elbo

 

Higgi. I have a question. Does the TII throttle body bolt right up to the 3rd gen intake manifold?

 

NO, FD one is bigger. I am running FD TB as u could see from pics.

 

Then that leads me to my next question. How did you work on the TPS. SInce the 3rd gen one wont work.

 

The 3rd Gen TPS will work fine, you just need to match up the appropriate wires. A search will find you what you need, or you could spend ten minutes with a multimeter and work it out.

 

Haltech TPS works in my case.

 

Very nice higgi. Clean and all.
