it's kinda wierd. they make it a little different than the other manifolds. first, they use a REALLY large (larger than normal) ROUND canister on top as opposed to the previous squar shaped canisters, and the runners curve down and slightly to the left making about a 90 degree on each runner, but not a really sharp 90. the canister is pushed to the right a little to allow placement for the throttle body. teh runner inner diameter is abotu the size of my runners now (medium sized). of course the canister and all is thin metal. the canister is not tapped for the factory map sensor, the brake booster, the vaccuum lines, or the pcv. it has a very small hole for the IAC motor on the throttle body. all the vaccuum ports will have to be either tapped or welded in, and the factory map sensor will have to be "custom" (I think I might run a vaccuum hose to the map sensor or something).
The fuel rail setup is pretty trick. they use a standard rectangular type fuel rail with a slot onteh bottom, and you slide in 2 square pieces (one for each bolt) onto the rail. the sloted pieces have a hole for the rail mounting bolts each. the rail also comes with all the equipment needd to install a 95 fpr or block off one side and hook up the original fuel line (of course you can always put an fittings on the ends like I am). the face of the canister looks like it is about twice the acutal csurface area of the factory throttle body, if not more. you could put a HUGE throttle body on this thing with some customization. hopefully i can fit it in my car (I might have to move some stuff around, but it's all good.).
Overall, the manifold DOES require modifications to use (it is not ready to use out of the box), and it could use a good port matching against the intake manifold gasket to thd head, but I don't mind doing this stuff as long as it makes results (and eliminates one more gasket from going bad ).
bring it on............
OH, and the best part is that I will be able to see if it made any power over my extrude/honed/ported polished manifold .
A.D.P. "...If you do too much, people become dependant. If you do to little, people loose hope. If you do it right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all." bring it on...........
