Default Forward facing manifold

Not sure if that's the correct name for them. But after the inlet manifold's that have the throttle body facing forward towards the front of the car, to suit Ej20T (97 wrx). Where can i get one from and whats a ball park figure for one of these.

cheers
chris.

Same manifold, just spun around.

A bit of dicking around is needed to remount stuff.

Bit of messing around with alternator/aircon relocation too.

With 99/00 its better to use a GD manifold as the TB is in a better spot. But unfortunately for you, a GD manifold wont fit 97 heads.

Yep, GD manifold will bolt onto 99/00 heads, but you'll need GD injectors and fuel rails too.
Which is a good thing as they can be made to flow 816cc with about 5 minutes work.
Also, the TB sits closer to centre of the block to the GC manifold, which means you'll need a little bit of dicking around with intercooler piping, or a longer silicone joiner. But as it looks like you're flipping it, you'll need custom piping anyway.

I have a feeling that on the 97/98 that it isnt as simple as just turning the manifold around. Muggz has one for sale here; http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/sale/11817-fs-various-subaru-parts.html

Might be worth asking him what the difference is.
