what do you mean your car doesnt have an intake manifold, do you drive it?

Re: Intake Manifold question (ex_ricer)
careful... think about things before you post them.
unless you have a single cylinder engine you have a manifold.
what you mean to say is that you have a downdraft TB and you want the more typical sidedraft arrangement.
like you read, you can use the EX manifold, it'll bolt up to your head and DX TB. you're going to need to make the bypass coolant hoses work. I suggest getting hose by the foot from an autoparts store for the small diameter stuff. you can keep your fuel rail and injectors, all of your sensors, and even your throttle cable. the cable however, will need to be held out of the way. I reused some of the mount clips for it and bent them to hold the cable above the strut area.
you must used the DX TB gasket. this is important. the EX gasket will create a huge vacuum leak and an annoying idle problem.
have fun. it helps this motor a lot. i've actually gotten better gas mileage after the switch.

Re: Intake Manifold question (JDM_Frijoles)
yes sir, deff a hp killer. But, to asnswer you question, Any dseries intake will bolt up to your motor. Im sure this is already in archieves but, ntl, just make sure to save all your sensors and swap the out like the guy sd above about the iac. Check out the archieves to see if anyone has got these pics and process on a write up before. Im sure its there. seen it b4.
