Will a stock si intake fit on a d16y8 TB?

Is there a different from stock ex and si including fitments?


The only difference i see is that the ex pipe is smaller and the si is bigger.
But could i still use the stock si intake on d16y8 manifold?

plus before i start pulling off the y7 manifold do i need to drain anything?

 

bigger like you mentioned, but the part that attaches to the mani may be placed in a different spot.

 

anything?

 

If you're removing the manifold you need to drain your coolant first or else leak it everywhere once it comes off. Why remove the manifold?

The Ex TB is only a couple mms smaller in diameter so it should be alright if you tighten it down with a screw clamp. They both bolt down the same because the chassis are essentially the same.

 

doing the y7 manifold swap to y8,where would the radiator drain plug be at?
so it should be fine with the si intake.

 

radiator drain plug is on the mid-bottom of the rad... just under the cooling fan

You also have a block-drain bolt which is placed on the left of the oil filter (looking from underneath)... that one is sometimes very hard to unscrew

dang i gotta do the block drain too

 

OOOPS, sorry, my fingers are quicker than my brain

I edited the above post... the block drain bolt is on the LEFT of the oil filter

 

do i really have to drain the block because i see people just drain the radiator to do the swap.

No, you don't have to... but it is always a good thing if you're going to use some other brand of coolant...

If you reuse the old coolant or go with the same brand, you don't need to drain the block

 

it doesnt matter what coolant you use, when i put my skunk2 intake mani on, i only did the rad drain plug not the block, if you have any questions, get at me, either pm me on here, im me on aim (nkrediblechop710) .. or text my cell 4848217606..i will help you out
