Inverness, FL? Hahah I went to HS at Citrus back in the day. This isn't going to "answer" your question but why would you put an S5 LIM on a S4? I believe if you have a little time to research, you'll find that apparently the S4 LIM flows better than the S5 while the S5 UIM flows better than the S4 UIM. If someone else feels this is incorrect, feel free to correct me.

Also...RX7 meet in Gainesville on the 21st at 7PM. PM me if you'd like to make the trip up.

You can but the S4 UIM wont bolt to the S5 LIM.

You can't keep your ACV if you are going with a S5 LIM on a S4 engine. If you have the entire S5 intake manifold setup, then yes you can do it.

No, I'm pretty sure the S5 and S4 LIM's aren't even for the same engine. You should sell the manifold to me.

^ Yan can use them both on either engine, you just can't use emmisions.

Come to think about it, the funny thing is, on my spare series5 engine, I remember after removing the old gasket that I saw the side emmisions ports on the engine along with the center emmisions port. I guess they made the S5 engine more universal for the LIMs. The S4 engine does not have the center emmisions port in the center engine housing.
