Inlet Manifold Spacers?
Hi All,
I'm thinking of fitting a set of inlet manifold spacers when my engine is re-fitted. Has anyone used them and thoughts please? Are they worth considering?
Thanks, Lee

Go for the o-ring versions if you can as replacing 8 o-rings when you work on the car is cheaper then buying four new gaskets.

Ideally you want a set of insulator brackets for your header tank too and do the throttle body coolant bypass then your inlet will stay nice and cool. They are also handy as they give about 10mm more room under the inlet.

Thanks for the reply FMJ,
Good idea on the header tank spacers, handnt thought of that.
Not heard of the throttle body coolant bypass??? Any more info please?
Also, not found O ring ones, just ones which need 4 gaskets or scoobyclinic ones with built in gaskets, need to look into these.
Cheers, Lee

There's a water pipe that goes to and from the throttle body, just disconnect each side and join the pipes together, is how to do it.

Thanks micky, I've just found the details, looks very simple indeed. The pics I saw were for a 99plate, do you know if a newage is much the same?

Just to clarify when I said o rings I meant the ones with channels cut in them with rubber seals. They are in fact just circular o rings pushed into the grooves. You can easily source viton o rings of the same size to replace worn ones later rather then expensive Subaru specific gaskets. I got mine on eBay from advanced auto motives who are top notch. Think mine are 10mm.
