Air Intake Fabricate
Hey everyone. I am thinking about running my intake from the throttle body thru the firewall and back down beside the tranny. Reason because I do not
want to cut up my firewall. I was thinking about making a splash guard on the airfilter so no most water would would not get into the filter. Any
reason this would not work or be or would not be the proper way. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Much better to keep all the engine outside the car - for noise etc

just put a U-bend between the intake and throttle body so it's all in the engine bay like everyone else.

I tried the reverse maniflod and it will not work on my (95) 2.2L Legacy engine. When you rotate the manifold the IAC solenoid valve is in the way.
The alternator and the IAC will hit each other. I have seen the reversed manifold on 2.0 but never seen one on a 2.2. What is the purpose of the IAC
solenoid?

I finally figure out how to reverse the manifold on a 2.2. Took some scavenging in the NASIOC forum. A 1.8 TB has the IAC already mounted to the TB
and the wiring hooked up prefectly for the IAC. You have to use the 1.8 TPS. I also turned the fuel lines back around to their original position
(already had my fuel lines ran) . I still have to finish the alternator bracket and run some new vacuum lines. I will post pics.

Good to know, just make sure that if you use the Ej 18 tha the TPS and ICS match the series of your ECU. Even though the plug will change across and
TPS onle seem to have 3 and 4 plug options the ICS and TPS need to match the ECU series.
Found this out the hard way on an EJ 25 conversion .......
It only seems to effect cold start and gives error codes, still runs ok and test fine on everything else.
