Has anyone ever swapped their DOHC Intake Mani on to a DOHC B6T? I need to use my intanke mani to keep the sleeper IC setup I have. Thanks...

Ya..it don't work...time for a hood scoop.

why doesn't it work? do you have pics?

No...but i'll try to take some. Looking at the 2 gaskets the bolts don't line up. I can't swap heads without rebuilding my RS one, since I blew it all to hell. Anyways...I'll see what I can do.

if i remember correctly, the exhaust mani will fit but the intake will not. their has got to be a way to get it in there without cutting the hood. i know allot of diesels use flat intercooler piping. if you could rig something like that up, if you went wide enough it wouldn’t hurt flow too much. you could always customize one. I personally would use the BPT intake mani and cut and manufacture a new flange and have someone weld it.

i have an idea. some one post a pic of the passenger side mount on the mx3 dohc.

You mean like this? This is a M1 Miata Intake manifold that we modified to work on the B6T head. The neck was cut off and we fabed up a custom plate for a BBK Mustang 75mm Throttle body. The other mod needed is a hold drilled in the diver side of the flange w/ a pipe adapter for the heater hose.

i was told the sohc intake mani will bolt up... plus if you do that you can upgrade to a larger tb

Does anyone have a pic of the SOHC intake mani?

I've got my old SOHC motor in a deep dark hole. If I remember correctly, it doesn't fit. But if necessary I could dig it out.

Sok..I bought a lil hood scoop...and a FMIC. Time for upgrades

those are some nice custom parts there jw, maybe you could hook me up with the guys that did it.

He did that...lol. Jeremy is the man...that's all I gotta say. Dude knows his stuff. He showed the guy doing my swap what he has...the guy called me and was just raving about how sweet a** his work his. Mad props again Jeremy.

i know cause i helped him do it i was just messin with him!
