Yes, that can be modified to fit the A20. It would involve the same steps as installing a stock B16 intake manifold.

It could be made to fit your car... if you made a B18 fit your car first. :D

really do what they say they do and are they worth it? not necessarily this one, oil catchs in general. cuz when i took my intake off there was oil gum all in it.

Yes, it's very basic design and not hard to make your own... I like the sight tube idea...

it is very easy to do. all you have to drill one or two holes, depends on what B series motor intake manifold was made for.

I dont know why an intake has sharp coners like that, but whatever. Those kinda manifolds are only good with a Forced inducted motor or a Built up all motor beast. Wasnt a thread just like this in the performance section?? :(

Sharp corners? what matters is that they have air horns caping the opening of each runner to smooth the air flow as it goes in... as long as that is good then the plenum shape shouldn't matter.

Eddy currents do affect flow, so i dont know how good these are. Even the ITB manifolds made for a Turbo application has a cylinderical shape to it to minimize edges, besides, there has to be a flow to the design. Atleast that what i believe in when i design things.

But again, i understand what u sayin mike. Venturies do not rely on plenum design, but the size of them does matter, as in their diameter to see how the plenum design does affect the venturi air flow.
