    Anyone running a dc5 manifold instead of the ep?

    Just wondering if anyone was running a dc5 manifold instead of an eo3 manifold? If so...what needs to be modified to fit? BTW thinking of going from turbo to sc

    I've been running a RSX JRSC manifold for about two years now. There are also a few other members running it (one in Canada and one in Jersey). No problems what so ever. The only reason to realistically run it is if you plan on adding an aftercooler to your setup. If you do not, just stick with the Ep3 JRSC manifold.

    Did you have to modify anything to fit?

    I was under the impression that the design of the manifold flowed a bit better than the EP

    What is needed to make the RSX mani fit the EP3? I have the EP specific blower currently and if I could swap everything out to the RSX manifold so I could run an aftercooler that would be great!

    Also it would be a great time to send the charger to be rebuilt and have the new manifold ported. Should make a good match with my auto tensioner.

    You may have to cut into the front support etc. Do it, the EP3 mani setup is juunnkk

    Just a little trimming you could also just bend it a bit, but I just cut a piece out and it fits fine.
