I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Intake Manifold Coversion

Post by morecarbonfiberthenu » December 05, 2004

Ok guys I'm ready for no or strange replies but has any of you guys ever heard that you can swap a B16 intake manifold on an EM motor (D17)?

I never heard of it. Is it supposed to bolt right up or do you have to modify the manifold?

From what i ahve heard it's a perfect match, but you have to deal with throttle cable and fuel rail issues. I wanna know if this is true or not. Plus I wanna figure out if you can switch over to a B series throttle body and are able to use/ switch the TPS to work on the setup as well.

D17s have the vertical throttle body like a D16 nonvtec in EKs or are they down flat like the D16 vtec motor?

Take a picture of yours. We'll do some picture comparisons.

Would the flange really line up? I would think it wouldn't, since most B series hardware does not interchange with D engines.

Well I have seen a few cars with manifolds on them and they switch to the side inlet like the old ones. That's no big deal, it's just the location. I need to know if it fits up and it can be benificial in a turbo application.

Here's an example, check it out:

Too bad that guy doesn't have a picture of the back of the head.

Definitely looks good, though.

No, D17 mani's are positioned with the body facing up towards the hood, like a turd d series.
