Default s13 inlet mod

is anyone willing to modify an s13 inlet to fit the s12? i have both complete plenums but no one will touch it over here and i dont have the gear to do it myself . i know 30psi has this done and rich was on about doing it.

Some more pics. But I didn't weld it so can't truly say how difficult it is. Probably better to make one from scratch.

cheers for the extra pics!!!

looks like a realli fiderly job im tryin to weigh up if its worth it coz obv the size of the inlet port is still the same as standard and obv dont wana create a huge swirl as the gases are forced into the head!!

im either going too make it fit or play around witht the oringal put the s13 throttle body on and open up the inlet to take the larger body and make up a new rail with the s13 injectors on!

did it feel any diference to drive ie response?

if you want it done properly, then you going to have to pay around £400, thats for one done on a flow bench, then at least you would get a graph of the end results.me and turbomike had our's done at AMT engines, i've also had the fj head done there as well, i know there's a few companies use him as well, but they pass it off as there own work.
