wonder if anyone knows if these will fit the 2.2 engine

look similiar in terms of where the ecu goes and how the fuel rail bolts on

Is that from the Z20NET? I think the Dr had one of them for sale.

I have another for sale

u got a photo ?

what are the gains from this ?

cheers

they will fit

needs same "modifications" as the LSJ SC manifold (M6 vs M8 bolts, different PCV positions).
They have no real plenum and unequal runner lengths and won't be optimal for N/A apps, but they are perfect for a turbo / centrifugal SC setup
and you can heavily port them, for the head side and the TB side too, which is good if you flow enough

MikeS

thanks alanoo

cleared that up for me

I ordered the one from the link above, in case I take the Rotrex route

The runners all seem pretty much the same length (or as far as I can tell with a tape measure) they are approx 19cm from plenum to flange face - it's surprisingly light too 😃

The standard TB is a direct fit too

I can take some pics if you like :thumbup:

A few pics that I posted up on .org

Good news is - it fits, and so does the standard TB, it also uses the same M6 bolts/pattern as the head

It's surprisingly light for a cast aluminium intake 🙂 and all runners appear to be equal length (around 19cm) despite what I've read previously. It is deceptive tho, but the central two runner sweep around the outside of the plenum, I've tried to take a photo - it has't really worked 😃

I'll need to cut a slot in the gasket (still to purchase from Saab) for the PCV valve

I could do with doing a direct comparison to a 2.2 manifold, so if anyone has one lying around

A couple of pics showing the runners

Looks like it's time to get the Dremel out again 😃 There's actually quite a bit of scope for porting 🙂

has someone already fitted this as a useful upgrade when not taking the SC route later on?

Heat build up?

Probably better to stick with the plastic 2.4 manifold?

"I could do with doing a direct comparison to a 2.2 manifold, so if anyone has one lying around"

Yeah, I've got one or two.

Hi
Sorry to bump an old thread but did you actually see any increase in gains with this in the end?
