Hello, I recently purchased a Skunk2 K-series intake manifold for my k20a3 ep3. After removal of the stock manifold I realized that the skunk2 manifold rubs near the alternator. Because of this the bolt connecting the manifold to the rest of my engine is off by about 1/4". Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Thanks

Can you post a pic?

 

never heard of such issue yet. But don't see to many ep3 guys with the Skunk2 IM

 

Yeah because the RBC manifold is half the price and performs the same.

OEM > skank2

 

I took another look at it and it looks like it is rubbing on the water pump housing.

After using a stud extractor I was able to get the stud out and the manifold right on. Thanks

 

Fully agreed. But I love how people already modify the Skunk2 by cutting off the coolant port skunk2 incorporated with the manifold. lol
