Reverse inlet manifold
i have seem this done on a lot of big power classics, anyone know the ins and outs of it, i assume its done to reduce lag due to less pipe work.
do you have to fabricate front mount pipes or a kit availiable ?
you you need to modify inlet piping ?
etc etc
trying to gather as much info as possible because its something im considering
i have a 1994 WRX 240ps
many thanks

Thats a WRC manifold expect to pay good money.
Phase one manifolds need to have the TB flange welded back to front you cant just turn the manifold even though it is possible the ICV will fowl the bonnet.
You can make use in most cases of the existing FMIC pipe work.
You still need to ensure various other parts are modified to fit.
Nez-WRX not something that would be at the top of my list for where your at right now

Is it possible to simply turn the later manifolds then?

reverse manifold and fmic
check out tsl website as it has reverse inlet manifold and fmic for 1355 plus vat.they say that the main benefit of fitting reverse manifold is to reduce lag when a front mount is fitted due to pipe work being lot longer than having top mount intercooler.

Hmm sounds interesting, I already have the parallel fuel rails, I ownder what the cost would be without that.
What do you hope to gain from doing it?

speak to neil from slowboy im sure he'l sort you out a good deal, itl'l be intresting to see the outcome as my car is quite responsive as it is, but i guess it does help with lag and spoolup

think i could benefit by spending the money else were to be honest, was just a thought as my manifold has to come off anyway due to a coolant leak from the n/s o ring on the coolant cross over pipe.

Might be worth a chat, Im not sure how much a reduction I would gain by doing it tbh, as I have a Hybrid FMIC and I think the way the piping is would barely make a difference.
The pipe that connects to the TB comes out of the inner wing right next to where the CAIK goes.

definately have a chat with neil because from what i can see your using a fairly large turbo on a 2.0 with a fmic, im pretty sure u could speed up spool up by a few hundred revs with a reversed inlet

Def worth thinking about, I really could do with having a couple of pipes made up so might be a good mod to do.
Are the IC pipe made on site there or are they ordered in?

Slowboy can fabricate the pipework from your existing setup if needed...
They recently done it on a friends type R with a 2.0/FMIC 20g setup, and the spool up is amazingly quick.
Lag is absolutely minimal between shifts and a definite improvement from before, it actually has less lag than with a VF23 conventional FMIC setup.

It will and has been used in both normal and rotated set-ups with excellent results
for minimal pipework you may be best going rotated, but it won't be that far off if the turbo is in the standard position
