Need help with an EK manifold
Ok I have this intake mani and I want to use it on my 5spd EK Coupe. My problem is somone told me the one I have is an auto one. I am trying to figure out what the diffrence is and if I just need to get a couple parts to make this one work. Here is the pics and thank for the help.

that's pretty much what I'm saying. there are some things that are a lil diff't, you just have to get creative when you're doing it. like some wires come up a lil short, so you kinda have to peel back the loom and reroute the wires, and some hoses you'll have to get creative with .... then the throttle cable on the Y7 is kinda long.... anyways, once you start doing it, you'll figure it out. just get a new IM gasket, and have some coolant handy so you can refill when you're done....

your intake has a couple things diffrent including the vacume lines.The intake I have has a 3 wire IACV and my car has a 2 wire IACV. How did you get around this. Sorry I just want to cover all bases before I jump in to it. Thanx for your help so far.

my car has a 3 wire IACV stock, so it would plug right in, except I use an OBD1 computer with Hondata 3BD so I just leave it unplugged. once I pull my turbo off and go back to a stock computer, everything will plug right in.
IF you truly have a 2 wire IACV (all D16Y7 engines have 3 wire IACV) then you can buy a 2 wire IACV and drill the blank spot on your intake manifold (on the back of the plenum) to mount the 2 wire IACV. There is no other way around it.
As for the vacuum lines, they are all there.... if you have extra ones (like a cruise control source), you can either plug it, or use it for perhaps a boost or vacuum gauge. If you don't have enough, then just use a tee connection to get an extra vacuum line.

there is also something about the fuel pressure reg.... I think you can't use the Y7 one.... or something like that. cuz I think I wanted to reuse the B&M one I have, but there was something about the return line not fitting.... I forget not.
