i recently bought a Godspeed ffim top half for my rb20. now before yall go hating its alrdy at my local machine shop getting everything decked to make sure its nice and flat and making sure all the welds are good. going this route still saved me money from any other cheap intake manifold out there and makes the car A TON easier to work on. now my question is. what options do i have for intercooler piping options do i have other than custom fabing which is my orignal plan and i may still go this route. but are there any kits out there that i havent been able to find? will a rb25 to s13 with greddy intake piping kit work? and what size piping should i go with i was thinking 2.5? im not planing for alot of power maybe 350 with a rb25 turbo. i also plan on going rb25 later down the road once the car has full supension wheels and paint. so im not spending all my money of the rb20 i just want it fun and reliable to drive while the rest of the car is getting finnished. i open to any sugestions.

Using the intricate science of eye-balling-ology, it appears all of GSP's intake mani's drop the TB in the same place. I'd guess that the greddy style IC kit would work, with little to no modding. I believe RawBrokerage recently came out with an RB25 IC piping kit thats made to work with the G/F/Xreddy style intake for $300. Ought to work for the 20 and the 25 (correct me if I'm wrong, ppl) http://rawbrokerage.com/Raw-Brokerage-F ... ICP25G.htm They give you the option for the stock or q45 tb, and stock or upgraded turbo. Seems the way to go. Ebay also occasionally similar stuff ish, but I'd feel better buying from a reputable nico sponsor :poke: than ebay.

Thanks for the info. I was going to try and not have to fab my own. Although would be my best route. The only machine shop in my area does not have a great turn around time. Good work they are just a little slow. I'm still waiting on the intake mani to get back and all I wanted was it cleaned up and machined flat.

I'll take a look at the raw brokerage ic piping kit as it would be able to be saved for the rb25 later down the road if it will work with no modification.
