    Yeah thats on a 1mz.. I've seen that pic before, looks like an adapter plate needs to be made up but maybe simple? Depends how hard it is to get hands on one of these manifolds for cheap R&D.

    Not sure on year but Whitchy might be on the money.

    Yeah that's on a 1MZ from the states the guy put it in an MR2.

    The only problem i can see with it is availability and its pointing the wrong way.

    Cheers

    Pointing wrong way shouldn't be too hard to cut n shut the TB off one end and put on the other?
    May end up more work than making something from scratch.

    Did the guy from states post up any pics of adapter plate?

    This is a good thread regarding the wood radius router stuff

    If you were going to go a custom plate, then you could just design it with the Honda mani facing the correct way...
