Well....my build is reaching completion.
Only have one last thing to do.

Thinking of replacing my stock intake manifold with an aftermarket one. Everytime I type in "Intake manifold subaru" I get ej257 intake manifolds.

I have a ej257 bottom end with ej251 heads. Does an aftermarket intake manifold exist for the sohc ej251 heads? or shold I just stick with my stocker.

only one I know that exists is skully's from rs25.com:
Thing looks amazing!!! If it is my only option, might have to save up and get one.

AMAZING LOOKING HUH. CUSTOM MADE!!!!

The dual throttle bodies might be a little much lol!

I thought the dual TB were insane...lol
Pretty cool looking though

Don't the 257 intake manifolds work on the 251 heads? Maybe I'm being naive but if the EJ25D DOHC intake manifold can work on the SOHC EJ251 long blocks with nothing more than elongating the bolt holes then I'm not sure why the 257 manifolds wouldn't work on the 251 heads in a turbo application.

Cool looking custom intakes though.

I have a magnus intake manifold that I'll be selling. I'm not sure if it'll work on your set up or not though.

Wait for Cosworth to start shipping their intake manifold.

Wow....so many options that I didnt know about.
Going to stay with my stock ported intake manifold for now and when i get my security deposit back from my current rental house in may, im def going to go out and buy a nasty intake!!

jays05 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 26, 2009, 07:51:12 AM »

I bet Cosworth spent more time on R&D with their intake manifold than all the other vendors combined.

In all likelyhood, it is better. But, you'd better believe you're paying for it. For Cosworth, I'd be all for it.

The main reason I don't buy Cobb products is that I refuse to fund their 'R&D' with that fancy R35 GTR of theirs.

From the nasioc thread

The first batch of 10 Cosies should be shipping out before months end:

I have a few cosworth parts in my engine and they are very high quality. The price of their intake manifold is not outrageous compared to the other aftermarket intake manifolds on the market.

Cobb is a great company and I've heard (from a very reputable source) that they are looking at setting up an east coast tuning shop in the NJ/CT/NYC area
