I made lots of progress on the manifold tonight... One more evening should have it stripped down to the bare bones. There will be some aluminum welding patch work to be done before it goes to polish.
We're going to test fit everything and make any modifications to use the DBC throttle body before I get it out to Sami for polishing. If we need to make them shorter for hood clearance we should be able to chop the runners and weld them back together. This manifold will replace my TGVs. I'll try and post some progress pictures tomorrow night once I'm done.

I was able to finish off the 2.5 rs intake manifold tonight. I'm too tired to post up the pictures, but I'll try and get them up tomorrow.
Cleared everything off the manifold except for the couple vacuum lines that I'll need for my brake booster, fuel pressure regulator etc. This should look pretty cool polished up and replacing my TGVs. I'll also have to drill and tap some new holes for the throttle body. Since I have a 73mm throttle body now, I'll bust out the die grinder and open up the inlet to match There are 4 holes to weld up and smooth out. I've probably spent 5 hours on it so far Last edited by brcewane; 09-05-2012 at 11:03 PM. |

OK... now for the pictures.
This is what the 2.5 RS JDM manifold looks like with all the junk attached to it After clearing off all the bolt on pieces you end up with something that looks like the following After two and a half hours of cutting and grinding you end up with something that looks like the pictures below. You can see where I started grinding off the lower runs that end up going to a tube that sticks up right in the center of where the inlet is. After another two and a half hours the following night I ended up getting it all finished. There are a couple holes that will be patched/welded and then ground down smooth. Once all the test fitting is done it will go out to the polisher I left the two threaded tabs on the bottom because they line up with where the throttle body cable will need to run. I figure these will make good mounting points for a bracket holding the cable on the bottom of the manifold. |

I had forgot to ask Ultimate Racing.. does anyone know if the T3/T40E is water cooled? Or is it oil cooled only?
I'll give them a call on Monday to make sure, but I was curious if anyone knew off hand. It will help me plan out my engine bay on whether or not I need the top coolant reservoir |

So it looks like my DBC Throttle body isn't going to fit/work without a bit more fabrication on the 2.5 RS intake manifold. For one the bolt pattern doesn't match up, and they aren't the same size bolts either.
Plus if you look at the back of the WRX throttle body you'll see that there is a little channel that matches up with the intake manifold to let air up into the top sensor. Of course this isn't there on the RS manifold. First I posted in Cribbie's thread to see if he had an adapter plate, because it looks like he ran into the same scenario. Then I realized I could just cut the mounting area off of a junk stock WRX intake manifold and weld it onto this new 2.5 RS one. Looking to pick up a spare WRX intake manifold tomorrow and do the cutting tomorrow night. |

water jetting one would be a better option I think. Theres a bunch of crap behind the wrx opening for the iacv and getting that all in the 2.5i manifold would be a huge pita.

Call up IAG bro and see if they can make you a spacer on there CNC machine.
It would be cheaper and a better option. |

Intake Manifold has been now been fitted, throttle body mounted and alternator flipped.
Had to hole out the feet of the Intake manifold to match the spread of the STi block and WRX heads. |

Paid a visit to the shop yesterday. Things are coming along. Need to get some fuel rail mounts machined and run the fuel lines and we should be almost ready to go.
Ended up going with 2" intercooler piping |
