So, I've been running S4 TII intake manifolds and wiring on an S5 TII block on my car, and everything's been wonderful the last coupla years. Except for the part where my manifold o-rings melt and rip apart and I start leaking coolant from the top of the block...


Old gasket's soaked and ripped to ****, and I can't tell the difference between the two from this lumpy mess.





Just need to know which lower intake manifold gasket to use (manifold to block gasket)?





Mazdatrix part number would be most appreciated.





It's gonna have to be between


A.)


Part#13-111D-N318


or



B.)


Part#13-111A-N370




thanks,




-A.Earl










P.S. What's the cheat code to properly put in the manifold coolant o-rings without pinching/ripping them?...


P.P.S. ...and why the **** do I need two o-rings when there's only one hole on the S4 TII lower intake manifold (goes to turbo, me guesses)?There's two holes on the S5 TII block though, so I'm also guessing that's my answer.

 

1) Go with B Part#13-111A-N370. the only difference should be the port i pointed out in red.
2) A, B, A, C, A, B, B wait never mind that's the Mortal Combat blood code. The cheat code for the water seals is Holymer.
3) 2 holes allow the water to heat up the intake manifold and get the incoming air warmer to get the engine to NOT faster and therefore better startup emmissions.

 

thanks mang.

 

20 forums bucks for an amazing response

 

Instead of forun bucks help me find a DD. I'm looking for a Rabbit, a 83-87 Civic or CRX, or a FC. All under $1000

 

Kill no cone has a CRX for sale, pm for details,
