gruppe - s is no longer making the adapter...I ordered the jdm rails from RalliTEK

Sev · 08-06-2009, 12:52 AM

I don't want to mod the manifold much so I'm looking to rework the dbw tb so it bolts up with a spacer...I also think the manifold needs to have a couple of holes elongated to bolt up to the USDM block

bugeyesubie · 08-06-2009, 04:39 PM

ah yeah i dont want to use the stock jdm rails since i already have the upgraded aps ones

Sev · 08-07-2009, 06:51 AM

pm this user eclip5e he made the spacers for his after market rails

Yes, this is true, only like a few mm though, it just barely doesn't line up

pekoso1 · 08-20-2009, 01:05 AM

OK OK....
So there is no easy way to make the Spec C manifold work straight forward plug and play with the USDM Sti.
To recap my findings is that
-Spec C Manifold is one piece, top feed fuel injectors, DBC (Can be use by USDM 02-05 wrx?)
-04-06 STI need an special adapter for the TB cuz is DBW and some kind of modification cuz does not lined up and the fuel lines r different?...

My conclusion not worth it for some of us that want to go top feed going that route.

You could have had a fab shop make you some brackets off some Aeromotive top feed rails for cheap also.

ány of you guys know how the spec-c manifold will fit on 06-07 wrxs? i'd imagine not to different from the 02-05s

bluescoobywagon · 08-27-2009, 01:31 PM

I imagine that you'd still have the DBW issues...

I was just looking at one of these last night on a 2.5/2002 WRX hybrid motor with stock rails and little spacers to make them bolt up. It looked like a clean install. I'm not sure where the spacers came from...

02-05 wrx are dbc, 06+ wrx are dbw, so it's no different from the 04+ sti

8thWonder · 10-12-2011, 04:34 AM

Bump from the dead. Are there currently any vendors or shops who sell DBC-DBW throttle body adapters?

sleazy07sti · 05-10-2012, 08:38 PM

I spoke to p&l motorsports and they made a few and still have the specs to make more but they want $150.I just purchased two off a nasioc member for under $75 as I have one jdm long runner manifold for my car and one to sell

Vlad · 05-11-2012, 09:14 AM

The V10 JDM spec C EJ207 went to having TGV's, with DBW.

sleazy07sti · 06-30-2012, 02:13 AM
