What needs to be done so the greedy intake manifold for the rb25 could fit the rb20? Is it possible or worth the mod? I considered greddy because for the most part Im supposed to be able to "trust" (doesnt happen often) the name of a big company. Alot of these one off manifolds scare me because no tests have been done. I look at it like this: I'd rather buy nikes and have to put on an extra pair of socks than have someone custom make some shoes and they fall apart when I run hard.

It won't fit because the flange is diffrent from the 25 to 20. And even if the flange was the same the RB25 intake ports are bigger than the RB20. Save your money and buy a RIPS manifold or Wasibi DIY kit and make it right. Or just leave the stock one on there.

What work would need to be done to an already "finished" product. I cant think of the termanology but would that include smoothing the inside of the manifold for better airflow. Who has the best rep for these custom manifolds for rb20. Really they look pretty good at the outside (finish and welds) but what Im worried about is if I was to put one on it would upset the flow characteristics and only improve top end power. If Im dishing out that much cash and on top of that still have to have work done to it, it better be damn good. Who owns any of these custom jobs or has had any experience with any of them. Thanks in advance yall

I have the Wasibi's but I don't like the way it was made. Ports don't match up right at all so I'm redoing it. I'm buying the DIY kit and having my friend fab it up for me with real stacks and so on.

Ill make sure I stay away from any of those Wasabis custom crap jobs. Thanks for the info bro. The DIY sounds like a great idea if you have the means to do so which unfortunatly I dont have the know how or tools. (so Im a**ed out until I can get my behind in school) Has anybody had any experience with the rips manifold. Hey Yellow all in all how much dough are you putting into that Wasabi DIY job. You must think it will pay off if your going to the extreme and having that amount of work done to it. Good Luck man and update us with your results. Peace

Some beer, welding rods and a trip to the nudy bar ohh and the cost of the parts lol. I was really happy when I saw the manifold, Didn't think much of it because where else was I going to find one that looks good. After I had and started looking at it I started to think. Hmm maybe I shouldn't have bought it lol. Too late I have it. I was going to try and port it out but I don' think you can get in that far to port it. So chalk this one as a loss and learn from it.

Theres no crying over spilled milk, Ive learned that myself as a youngn being that my head was kind of built like a kevlar (hard head ouch!) My father always told me keep my eyes on the prize So lets keep at this manifold thing until we get whats really good. See ya around.
