Is it worth to change it against the stock one? Doest it even fit right on or does it need modifications?

I would guess it would never fit.

The S14 manifold will be designed for a LHD car, it will hit the steering on a RHD car. Plus i reckon the port sizes & stud pattern on the head is probably different.

The original M42 manifold isn't too bad, apart from they crack !

Welcome by the way :D

TNX :wink:

I have the LHD car :wink:

I also think the stud pattern is different, but you can see it on one of your forum members engine. White e30 318is and the owner is Tim or similar.

The normal m42 one is pretty decent imho. But there are some decent one's available out there.
