Fd upper intake swap no bolt up to s5 Jdm manifold!

See title, bolts/studs do not line up and therefor do not bolt together

Any wisdom?

you dont have to use the adapter, you can port match it, and have to open up a few of the mounting holes

That kit looks like it still doesn't change the bolt locations, they look straight through

misty is right ..
its been covered alot.. you need to oblong the holes to mount the s6 to s5
you need the adapter.. its easier and reversible

by the way the long bolt is a m8x1.25 tpi 110mm long i think the rest of the bolts are i think 70mm with the same thread pitch and size

Here's a clearer pic of the rising rpm adapter on my engine. It basically port matches and has bolts with each end offset from each other to match the different bolt hole locations. His products are top notch.

Since it is ST Patty's day tomorrow..
You get a cardboard box.
Fill it with Lucky Charms(they're magically delicious).
toss Fd upper,Rising RPM adapter and hub-centric oblong bolts,Gaskets,nuts and 2 gallons of milk in the box.
shake and stir,until frothy..
Holy Sheleighleigh...FD upper on an FC..!
Manly!, YES! But I like it too!
with the milk?... go feed your lawn..FEED IT!
