Hmmm... interesting.

Sorry to hear Joel... but im not at all surprised! ;)

Best of luck with finding a new motor etc... I thought my MY94 was good lasting to 250kms :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Mister Two]You can use up to V4 and still run the RS manifold. But V3 are supposedly slightly better anyway. More aggressive cams.[/QUOTE]

Does this apply to early gc8's?

Yes. Early Gc8 manifolds are pretty much identical to RS manifolds.

Thanks mate. Aaah the good old days eh?!!

Hence why my original post was for early WRX motors etc!
Still surprised that v4 will fit as I assumed they changed at 98 models?? (Waiting for a few who are in the know to confirm with this one). ;)

They did change the manifold at 97/98 but the actual port for the connection of the manifold to the heads remains the same.

V5, ie. my99 is when they changed the manifold port design such that you cannot use a RS or Early GC8 manifolds on the heads.

Sweet!

Ludwig my friend... you are again full of useful info. ;)
Many thanks guys.
