Nice setup, I think cast is so much more reliable. Is that a CUSCO TYPE OS on your RB20? Do you have a greddy intake carl?? be nice to see some numbers before and after the upgrade!!!!

Dude, I think he was talking about the Cusco Strut Brace in the photo.

I'm running a Cusco OS on my S30.

What kind of price and R&D differences are there between Greddy and rips?? Good fitment etc? Also, where did you locate it?

R&D not sure. Diffrence over the greddy? HUGE! since they don't make one for the rb20 lol. It fit perfect I did the install with the motor in the car. I lost some low end tq.. abot 4lbs but my power ban changed a little to the higher side of the rev range. http://www.ripsltd.co.nz/ it's not cheap I paid $1300 shipped + export fees and paypal fee. You could save a little money and not get the bored out throttle body.

No you get a Throttle body and TPS with the intakemanifold for that price. Greddy dosen't make a manifold for the RB20 only the RB25 and RB26.

the rips manifold is a fantastic piece of kit, the quality is there and the product is amazing.however it is unneccisary should you be chasing power levels lower than 450whp, i did it to clean up the engine bay, make routing the fmic easier and also increace top end efficiency.as yellow4g63 said, if you want a front facing plenum then go for the rips, yes it is pricy but it speaks for its self.oh and if you should decide to order one, make sure to tell rob what kind of motor you have (s1 or s2 rb20) as the s2 engines have a dampener on the fuel rail that s1 engines dont and can cause interference problems mounting the rail.
