I have searched around and could not get a clear answer on this. My question is will the aebs intake manifold bolt right up to my 94 jdm b16a or will I have to modify/cut/grind anything to make it work?

Thanks

 

aye bro here is a thread on h-t about the aebs mani.

scroll down to DelSolDon. he mentioned that he had to grind down the manifold to clear the alternator and the stabilizer. hope this helps you out bro. good luck

 

basically have to grind away some extra stuff, because of the casting i suppose.
everything else is just transfering stuff from your old manifold

 

You only have to grind on first gen B16s, the rest (Iv'e been told) fit fine. I had to grind mind down because there was no clearance between the alternator bracket, and I've only seen other people w/ 1st gens with this problem. It is an easy 5 minute fix with a grinding wheel. Later gens have had no problems (that I've seen)

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I will let you know how it turns out. Are the ebay aems intake manifolds the real deal or are they some other brand? They are really cheap BIN for $115.00 thats cheap.

Thanks

 

eraceparts $129.00

It's amazing that, for the same product, the price has gone up into the $170's range.

I found it at cnc-motorsports for $157 plus $15 shipping (satin version).

Why are they more expensive now than 8 years ago??!!

 

Cost of materials increase. Lower demand for that particular manifold. Simple Economics.

 

If you still interested i have a brand new one, satin version that i can sell you for a good deal, PM me.

 

I wound up ordering from CNC-Motorsports.

And GOOD LORD the casting marks are awful. The insides of the runners look like they were cast by a 9-year old with Play-Dough.

Opened up the Throttle Body opening already (to match my 68mm tb). We're going to dig in, clean up the casting marks (smooth them out -- they look like a mine field), and port match to my head.

This intake is very poorly casted (even if it's a larger volume with bigger runners than stock). Sheesh.
