the greddy i think is pretty much bolt on. you have to install some fittings i believe but thats about it.

the cheap greddy copies you have to clean up the castings some (thats why they are cheaper) but thats about it.

you probably need to create a custom bracket for your throttle cable. You will see what I mean when you try to bolt your stock bracket on.

Get a piece of stainless or aluminum L bracket and go from there.

I used all the original bracket and pulley when i installed mine. I did take the pulley off and place it in a different position and i may have placed the bracket opposite of normal and put a clamp to hold the cable from not sliding. Ill see if i can get a close up picture and show you. The cable is hooked to the pulley in a wierd position but it doesnt put any hard stress on it to break. Its been working fine for 2 months now.

i forgot about that. i did reuse the stock bracket though. i just used a dremel and trimmed a section off of it and it bolted right on.

sweet thanks a lot guys hopefully i can have it on by the end of the week if i get the time..

yes the bracket needs to be modified

also the cold pipe is different, buy another greddy cold pipe that's for the greddy intake manifold. option import has it for like 50$

a good idea for you: losen the bolts/nuts for the throttle body before you remove the stock intake manifold as it would be REALLY hard to remove once the whole thing is off

hey, make sure you check out the manifold before tossing it on (to void warranty). ive seen some brand new greddy manifolds (not that ebay crap) with lines along the manifold part that looks like they leak air along the tubing. just an fyi.

The plate that holds your throttle cable gets trimmed from it's |U| look to more of a /U\. Your cold pipe will need to be from Greddy to fit the angle unless you've access to a welder that can do the fitting. You'll need the throttle pulley from an s14 as well.

If you buy a new cold pipe, I need yours.................PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess im the only one that was able to use all the stock S13 TB and Bracket with no fabricating. Hopefully weather is decent tomorrow so i can get a picture of things for you.

[180fan]

oops forgot about chopping off a couple tabs off the fuel rail.

how is that possible? the stock one was buldging up when I close the hood, you can tel something was not right

^ Im interested in seeing that bracket as mine looks pretty ghetto lol.

[DrifterProdigy85]

Its been raining the past 2 days which i couldnt get any pictures. hopefully will clear tomorrow and ill show you. theres absolutly no problems whatsoever in alignment or high area. All i think i did was flip the TB Pulley and did the same with the TC Bracket. Only thing i added was a small hose clamp to hold the TC from sliding in the bracket.

ah damn thats what i was afraid of was havin to buy another cold pipe...that sucks...because previously like 2 months ago i got all new greddy intercooler piping because i put the Rspec intercooler on that replaced my vspec haha i guess i should of done my research sooner.. thanks again guys...anything else anyone could think to add?? by the way here is a pic of my engine to clerify that i DO need a new cold pipe...

[96EclipseGST]

only thing i had to was make a new bracket, otherwise no modification.

[ILikeMy240sx]

Just sell me your coldpipe for the cost of the new one you need to buy, that way you don't loose any money.

Any questions?

[spider_slayer]

hm, i thought that the only reqired modification was that the fuel rail didn't quite bolt up.

[DrifterProdigy85]

Only thing with the fuel rail is a couple of the tabs that bolt down need cut off. Pretty easy stuff of placing the rail on and seeing what doesnt quite fit then hack it off.

[TypeX4Sho]

did you end up changing your cold pipe? thanks again great pics by the way thats deff gonna come in handy

[DrifterProdigy85]

I switched to a Greddy Coldpipe. Original S13 Colpipe wont work without fabrication because the TB is in a different position. Stock Manifold had it placed at an angle aiming up compared to the Straight on design with the Greddy Manifold.
