intake manifold options
Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2014 5:03 pm
I've been going through the forums and even back through the old Exa forums... looking for an inlet manifold for the short block E15ET I have that I hope to shoehorn into my s-cargo.
I'm seeing Jap-spec and EGI bandied about but both seem ridiculously hard to get a hold of. I was leaning towards the EGI as it helps to tidy up the engine bay, which is one of my goals, but from the sounds of it:
a) they are rare as hens teeth
b) when they do appear they go for crack prices
so given that I would be looking at around $300+ if I could even find one, I started thinking... a local mob makes up intake manifolds for SR20s and RB26/30s and they run to about $500... so I was thinking I could give them the head and have them make something up.
Is my logic sound? I would be running an aftermarket ECU...
