Thinking about buying the new Greddy S14/S15 Intake Manifold?

Just know that you're going to have to re-locate your fuse box.

I had to unbolt mine and push is aside a little bit just to mount up the throttle body. Had to remove it completely to fit on the cold pipe.

I blame my Gizzmo intake manifold gasket. That extra 5mm screwed me! :keke:

Are the jdm fuse boxes somewhere else, or is it that it's not hard to relocate the fuse box.

Nice, looking forward to an update on dyno output.

I loved your updated on FA.

Great setup and greater numbers!

[eek]

Interesting... Wonder if it will be a big difference from the older design. Saw your posts on FA as well... Good info. Are you going to have to relocate the entire fuse box? or just the small add on section?? From the pix it looks like the pipe will clear if you just relocate that add on fuse section. Can't wait for the dyno #s. Keep us posted.

Well it only looks that way because I had already unbolted the fuse box and moved it aside so I could fit on the throttle body. Otherwise, you can't even install it onto the manifold. :(

I'm actually thinking about just selling this manifold and ordering another one. I picked up a Pulsar 70mm throttle body, and Greddy makes the new manifold with a flange specifically for that throttle body. I would just weld on a flange to this one, but it's already been ceramic coated, and would look messy after the weld job.

Hopefully I can get a everything put together and retuned by the end of the month.

If i remember correctly, Tomei made a adapter plate for the Pulsar 70mm tb. I know FRsport sells it with the TB as a kit. Not sure if you knew about that or didn't want to deal with the adapter plate. All your woes makes me not want to get this manifold.

Yeah, I was just not wanting to deal with the adapter plates that Tomei and FRsport sell. Too many metal surfaces stacked up against one another.

Yeah, the manifold is a bit of a pain, with having to relocate the fuse box. But I'm confident it'll be worth it in the end.

The OEM S14 Zenki's do not have that small fuse box.
This small fues box, i only ever saw on nissan's with the S13 loom.

I bet Greddy intended it for OEM S14/S15 and not Generic for all possible swap combinations out there..... I.e. S14 engine with S13 rewired loom, etc...

Shouldn't it have fit in my car with no extra modification then?

I'm not too sure that this is public knowledge yet. It doesn't state the need to relocate the fuse box on Greddy's site, nor do any distributors like Phase2 or 240sx Motoring have this listed with the product.

The instructions may have it written somewhere, but it's all in Japanese. There's definitely no pictures of it anywhere during the install process.
