Flipping manifold

[Caleb 895/1000]

Befroe i start... Yes i know there is a perminate thread for this but there is so much bull crap in there and they keep switching between models it just bloody confusing to keep up with, I have a version 2 RA.

If there is an absolute good bastard on here that has done it before can i pretty please have a list of what parts were needed?

If you have a flipped manifold what else do you need? A front mount and some piping.

No i have a front mount, but i WANT to flip my manifold. Just seeing what i will need to use, do and change coz i cant afford to have car off road for longer than a weekend

Heaps of options for tensioning belt read that thread its all pretty relevant except for V5-. If you get a manifold that has been chopped and welded it will make it so much easier. Then flip alternator with a tensioner as per pics on thread. Get new intake gaskets at the same time. Split the rails if you feel like it while its all on the ground.

with a v2 you should be able to just lift the manifold, turn it around and bolt it back on, you have to remove your air-con pump and place the alternator in its place and if you do it this way the idle control valve hits the power steeering pump reservoir, there is a way around it though, which is to find one of the power steer units with the small round reservoirs, im sure they are on the the 250t legacys and maybe other models as well. all seems to work have set it up on my rs legacy project like this and its all good

Get a flipped manifold will save you some hassle mentioned above. This was a few posts down in the flipped thread...theres heaps of info there.

I have a tensioner like below at present.

If you are going to do it just buy this trust me it will save a lot of hassle/work and it a good price.

Just finished flipping my v5 . Easy because of the new style a icv if you want to do yours i highly recomend purchasing rawyatt cut and welded manifold its throttle position is slightly edited to face lower making ur ic piping set a ton easier with no bonnet clearance issue and all your factory hoses will work . If you straight turn it wires need extending new hoses fuel line dont bolt up etc
