Also it might not fit if you running the S14 factory crossmember with a mount kit. Skyline crossmember and you should be golden.

I think I have the factory mount and cross member. I bought the car with the engine installed. Any way to double check it? thanks in advance. If not Ill come to you Ricky just trying to go around and not pay 1600 for a manifold.

Heh. I'm in the same boat man. 1600 is a little out of my price range. Although it does look like a quality unit.

Take a pic and we might be able to tell. If the mounts are Blue or Red then no way are they Skyline mounts.

Lol I thought you could tell by the way the engine is positioned.
I can't post a pic with my phone but if your a nice guy message me your number then I'll text you a pic of the mount. It looks stock to me no blue or red. Now do I need both the engine mount and cross member in order to fit this?

It's just not a really good set up. I enjoyed it for the times that I drove it but the power I want isn't there. I never thought about changing it but since I have a pretty nice dd now I could just change it and go for more hp. Plus there aren't any intake set up, the rear turbo is close to the brake and power steering reservoirs, and the exhaust dumps are pretty close to the steering. You could it have after I take them out if you want just pay shipping or pick it up turbos are in good shape

i called them and ordered it... i dont remember exactly how much but it was under 1500... i think there getting more for them now..

AFI= arizona forced induction..

manifold has been solid so far, however i had the manifold resurfaced (head and turbo flange) cause it was pretty warped...(they offered to fix, but PITA to ship)

Man its a real b**** finding a good manifold for a half decent price... I'm considering getting some steam pipe and welding a ghetto log mani with a proper wastegate for >$100 and being done with it.

Just wondering because I'm actually about to put on the exact same setup and I was wondering if there was going to be clearance issues. I'm using the r33 crossmember and syko mounts. Just need the oil lines
