Type S Intake Manifold on an EP?

[03SiGuy]

hello fellow EPers. i have a friend that has an rsx type s and he just got the type r intake manifold for his ride . he is willing to give me his stock one for free if it will work on my EP.
so my question is will this work ok and will it give any gains?

[BlasTech]

I've always heard that the two (EP and Type S) are identical.

[idrive]

ummm yeah to my knowledge... they're the same...
and i dont see why the type-r would be any different either?
whats the diff? only thing i can think of is the size of the TB...

We have the same intake manifold as the RSX-s.

[SpoonEP3]

you are already using the type-s manifold in your stock ep3

[Vertigo]

Now a Type-R DC5 manifold might be better.

[2k2SiAutoXer]

yeah, type s and si are the same. Now what you have to do is tell him you will take it, and when hes not looking, switch it with the type r manifold.

The type R intake manifold is supposed to flow better.
Gains are only above 8000rpm on the A2 though, so not much use on the A3.

[03EP3Si]

Yeah its supposed to help with power above 8000 just like SIRman said, so it would be useless for our EP, unless we somehow get to rev past 8000 :D

The type R manifold have a diffrent length of runners, enabling more power to be produced at high RPM's. But if we put this manifold on our carrs we would loose a considerable amount of low end torque.

Torque = Acceleration

the DC5 R manifold is only good for top rpm induction....isnt the whole manifold have shorter runners but bigger maniflod chamber???:rolleyes:
