Intake manifold from a v4 sti

Post by darkcrave »

Pros and cons? I was just digging the turbo inlet under the intake?
Or would it cause some problems

Pros: Intake goes under the manifold, kind of looks cool.

Cons: MAJOR PITA. I had that setup on my EJ20G and it's more of a headache than it's worth. Didn't cause any problems it was just hard as hell to work on. The intake is all crammed under the manifold and if you go aftermarket you're really in for it as that thing hardly fits. I had to bend the fuel lines and brackets to get it to fit. Most likely going to require custom plumbing as well. I would avoid it. Rotated setup would be a better investment.

If you use the stock inlet and turbo/intercooler setup it will be much easier than what I did.

You didn't specifically mention it, but that manifold bolts to DOHC heads. It will not work with the stock EJ22t SOHC heads.
