Supra2jze Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Hi there, Just need some help with installation, myself & mechanic will be fitting the Whifbitz Inlet Manifold (Drive by wire) 1. Does the power steering need to be moved in order for clearance? I have seen PHR steering resouvier kits but as nice as they are they seem very dear just to clear a throttle body! Is there any other ways around it / alternatives? 2. Appears to be 4 pipes on the new Whifbitz inlet manifold, but only 2 wires from the Supra that come from the top that appear to be too short to connect with the new manifold ? 3. Finally, the stock inlet has mounting points for the wiring loom. However, the new Whifbitz inlet has no mounting points for the wiring loom, is this OK to tuck under? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I haven't got the Whifbitz manifold but have the SSI and they are all the same more or less, i had to buy PHR relocation kit but for mine and also there is no mounting points for wire loom so i have just tucked mine under the manifold. The other points cant help with as GE and haven/t gone drive by wire route yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) I have a similar manifold and am DBW. I used an N/A power steering reservoir, but had a good fabricator relocate the return spigot (in fact swapped the spigot for an AN6 threaded boss) so to cleared the manifold. Looks and works like OEM. Edited April 21, 2023 by Big Mark (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I’ve got the Whifbitz manifold. I went with PHR, but did originally run an OEM BMW setup with custom lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Lovely looking setup. Can't believe how far the NA tuning scene has come these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2supras Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 i am running the same manifold, how did you get the TPS to fit? Also what type of intercooler piping did you use? Really love the build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra2jze Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 Had no choice but to go with the PHR kit. Expensive but looks amazing once fitted. Standard Whifbitz kit which required fabrication but my local garage are handy with modifications. Few pics attached 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
