Is this a scam or for real? I thought the CA & SR have different intake manifolds?

its cheap though, only 150$ so far, lop off the flange and weld on new ones for the CA.

Not really... How would you solve the JDM dual port issue? new head and new intermediary manifold piece (UKDM without the secondary butterflies)? Not really. People just put SR20 and CA18 in their descriptions to sell the damn part. You have to look carefully at the parts sometimes.

The intermediary peice breaks it down into 4 runners. It's 8 on one side and 4 on the other. You could just chop off the flange, but then you're assuming that they're spaced the same.

well yea, im assuming because if i was accually interested in doing it i would measure, but even if they are not spaced the same, that can be fixed easily enough when welding

i swear, i saw a japanese or uk magazine with a CA18DET in it with a GReddy intake manifold from the S14, i posted a couple questions on the subject i think here but definately on freshalloy and got a couple responses saying that a couple guys seen it in japan and the S14 would tb the better shoice cause of the runner design (maybe spacing too??) i have been watching those cheap Ebay ones carefully...

Maybe we could get somebody who lives near someplace like Heavy Throttle or something could stop in and maybe they'd let them compare it.
