you need an adapter to use the fd UIM to bolt to the fc LIM, and i believe youcan only use the s5 LIM...

In case you were wondering, the FD LIM doesn't fit because the ports are in a different place. You CAN use the S4, if I'm not mistaken, but for some reason it's harder to port match (Don't quote me on this, could be completely off). Most people port match S5 manis, but other make (fairly expensive) adapters to make it a bolt-on issue.

Is it really worth the money? how much do you get out of the intake?

I guess if you are shelling out that much cash for a chunk of alumium 2x10x1" thick with 4 holes in it and a couple of longer studs ,you better hope it's a lot.

Of course no one has asked this question...what exactly will you get out of putting on an FD intake? HP gain?

its not worth it man. if youi looks at teh primasry they are actually smaller thatn the s4 and s5. And if you are pushing air through them to the LIM s5 or s4 which at bigger you lose Velocity. Over allits not worth it

There is a couple of people on the forum did a dino run before and after. I'll do a search and get back to you all. We only made these adaptors because of what people were looking for. There was a increase but can't remember.
Thanks Robert

Curious...what lower gasket (block to lower manifold) do people use when using an S5 LIM to an S4 block? The 2 gaskets are not the same.
