Default Switching to 96-00 intake manifold-anything I need to change???

I ask because as I was porting this I realized the fuel rail is different then the one on my 93 si. Everything alse looks the same but is there really anything else I need to change.

Also it seems there is a brace holding the intake manifold. Can't tell for sure since it's underneith. I'm pretty sure this will not fit the new manifold. Is this gonna be a problem?

So yeah if anyone knows what other problems I should look out for let me know. It does look pretty straight forward though.

i think it will fit cause i did it on my cousins 92 LX
we used a 98 ex intake manifold
i dont remember having any trouble other than a little custom throttle body cable holder which was a snap makin with a the flat metal peice that comes with after market intakes, a vice, some plyers, an a drill with a good metal bit

it gave the LX way better top end but not much in the lower rpms but that was a none vtec motor

with ur si vtec motor it should be way better when the vtec kicks in

o ya an that brace screw u dont need it
an do a lil intake manifold leak test when done (use a can of brake dust cleaner 2 spay around the connection of the manifold 2 the head while the car is running and if it changes idle there is a leak and if it idles funny b4 u do this u should check th iacv-idle air control valve,or vaccum hoes, or adjust the distrubuter time 4 more top end

hope it works out 4 u

on the turbo subject my cousin turboed his lx sedan 1.5l bootleg as hell wit radiator hoses an a ford probe turbo wit no intercooler an it was so hell it beat the **** out of this guted 95 coupe wit type r motor

that was all good 4 about 2 months then the turbo overheated an the housing cracked an put the motor back 2 stock an 2 weeks later the motor sounded like a ****** hammer beatin on a can of rocks

we dropped that motor an put in my 92 dx hatch motor wit 205,000 an added that same ex intake manifold a fendiza flywheel an a stage 3 act clutch an from what i hear he is back out cleanin people up on the streets in a rust bucket sedan wit a 205,000 mile N/A motor


lesson learned sohc motors r very relyable an strong til u deside 2 put some busted *** homade turbo kit on them so make sure u do urs right

i think my 92 dx hatch isnt cutting it with my 94 ls teg motor maybe i should get a jdm sohc my boy has one that eats up my other boys 2000 si
