3rd Gen Manifold

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.

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.

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

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.
