2G RVR or real Evo 3

[JoshMc]

Okay so after looking around I guess there's 2 diffrent version, I purchased a "evo 3" intake manifold, but I'm not sure to know exactly if i got a legit evo 3, can anyone tell me what to look for or how to know what I got? Thank you!!

Here is what I received

What is important is the inlet measurement. The inlet should be 60mm. If so, you are good to go. You will need the plug the EGR port.

Looks like an Evo 3 intake to me? It's exactly like mine:

The only difference between the Evo 3 and the RVR IM is the RVR has an extra vacuum port on the back of the IM pointed towards the firewall, near the brake booster. The regular/legit Evo 3 IM does not have this.


Everything else is identical. Flow characteristics, TB inlet diameter, etc. So I wouldn't bother trying to guess if it's Evo 3 or RVR.

Interesting, not sure where I read it but I swear reading someone said the rvr was like less performance upgrade than an evo 3 but they looked the same, not sure from where, but thank you for clearing that up for me, I ordered it from eBay and it came from Japan so I just wanted to make sure they didn't screw me over, granted, it only cost $110, and free shipping, but it doesn't come with the coil mount bracket so I'll have to figure that out..

Mount it near the strut tower. Just find a place for it that isn't janky. Some people mount the coil pack under the IM and run the wires up inbetween the runners. Looks good and works well. Or go with a COP setup.

Measure the inlet. Unless it's a ported RVR, it should be 60mm.

RVR inlet is 52mm..... Evo 1-3 is 60mm

Doh, guess I was wrong. Thanks for the correction of misinformation, PK.

Hey thats my video
Anyways your's looks like an Evo 3 (99% sure) since I recently had my RVR and a Real Evo 3 side by side. You have the extra vacuum source that mine didn't and also a real Evo 3 will have EGR port hole and a RVR will not. Hope this helps

But like everyone says a true Evo 3 will have a 60mm throttle body hole

The EVO3 intake manifold has a hole for PCCS, like the attached pic. and the inlet diameter is 60mm. The EVO2 intake manifold has the same design except the hole for PCCS.
