Reverse Manifold EJ22
Finally completed the reverse manifold on my EJ22. I am using a 1.8 TB that has the AIC mounted to the TB. I emailed a few people on the NASICO forum
and they said that the 2.2 ECU would run the 1.8 TB, AIC and TPS just fine. Started the engine today and let it run for a min. or two and seemed to
run OK. I would have let it run longer but I dont have a radiator yet.

looks ok. Have you had to cut much metal out to fit the subie in?

Nice....where does the cold air to cool the stock motors usuall enter engine area. Wherever it is....make a box section around your filter and duct
the air from there. Takes a while to get over the fact that the engine bay temp now has no effect on engine temps as there is now a radiator doing
that. Cool intake air is the only concern for power gains. You would still be able to sort of seal the bay from the exhaust due to the minimal
cutting....always helps if the filter is in there.

The cold air usually enters the left side of the engine bay. I was planning to making a cold air box and open it up from underneath to scoop in the
fresh air. This was a quick fix to get the engine running.

I do not have the alternator bracket fabricated yet. I plan on coping the original design. Once I fabricate it I will make drawings of it for anyone
who wants them.

Right now I have approx. 6" clearance between the ground and the bottom on the sump. I believe if you were careful you could leave it but I am going
to cut mine to give more clearance. I am also going to fabricate a new sump out of aluminum (after the car is on the road)..
