So finally, after 2 months of shipping trouble, my M18 intake and TB showed up from Australia!
Hard parts to find, but they where worth the wait.
Looks 100% stock on the outside, but inside dimensions are different..

M13 throttlebody is 46mm ID, M18 is 54mm!

M13 intake manifold, 46mm in, 25x42mm ports.. M18 is 54mm and 27x46mm ports! M18 is actually pretty much identical to SSS ports.

While the intake was out, it was time for swapping out the old 70A alternator, for a new 145A!

And added bigger 70mm2 cables

I`ve already swapped out all the parts, and had a 20-30km test drive tonight.. Theres absolutely an improvement, allthough hard to put into words.
In stock form, i tested the car up a hill, and made 95km/h on top.. Through all the gears, from 0km/h.
On 235`s, regeared transfer, SSS motor but stock M13 intake, it did approx the same, 95km/h.
Tonight it did 105km/h with the M18 intake mod! Definitive gaine at higher revs, pulls alot stronger above 4500rpm. It has also gained alittle torque down low, but not much though.
I still believe i need to look into exhaust, and remapping to get the potensial out of the motor.

Another interesting observation, is that i had some ignition knocking at higher revs before, but did not notice any tonight.. Need to test more.

But my idle is all over the place. I did swap the idle control valve to the M13 one, but its not settling. Constantly throttles from 1300 to 2100rpm. Sometimes stays at 2200 constant. Need to look more into it tomorrow, done for today!
