Fd intake manafold

I tried to search but could not find anything? Is there a company that makes a spacer to bolt a 3rd gen upper intake manafold to a 87 TII lower? Or do i need to visit my local machine shop.

There's no one in the US that makes such a thing, though I've seen pics of a Japanese part, but I think it was custom by some tuner shop.

Remember, it's a pretty serious mod - you're talking throttle body, throttle cable, etc. minimum. Definitely not a simple bolt-on. Not to mention you need a front-mount!

Dale, i agree with you! My car is a serious machine I'm trying to find the best flowing manifold for my built motor. I have a chance to buy a full fd manifold and trottle body for $200

Garage Vanna here in Japan makes them. You send them your lower intake manifold and they modify it/port match it to fit the stock FD upper intake manifold. Problem is that you also have to modify your oil filler neck and get an FD throttle cable...and some other stuff...

thats what i did, you just send them your core but they will send you one already modified. the oil filler neck was easy though little welding and and hammer! if ihad to do it again i would make a spacer plate though

the stock FC fuel rail fits plus the FD injectors are side feed they would not work
