Intake manifold difference?

[MR 325]

Is there a difference in the intake manifold for the i motor and the e motor?

:?: :idea:

[Jordan]

yes, the eta manifold runners are alot smaller in diameter, and are overal longer.

[MR 325]

That's what I thought...

So, would a i manifold bolt on to an e?

Yea it'll bolt on. You may have to make some changes to the plumbing for the idle valve and whatnot, but the main part is a direct fit.

Here is a picture of my ETA with an M20B25 Throttle Body + Intake Manifold







Main issue is the ICV, as well as the FPR Vacuum Hose.

just takes some routing, I did have to disconnect my intake moisture thingy (little brown tank that goes to the gastank) but that does not really do anything..

[MR 325]

James, that looks good, I see you put the "i" valve cover on too. How much of a gain can you actually feel with the "i" throttle bodyt and intake manifold? I want to do that to my car.

I thought the i manifold did not fit on the eta head?

And what little brown thingy are you speaking of, charcoal canister?

Looks good, and yes any improvements?

yes, charcoal canister, I was looking for that word, just could not remember it.. =)




improvements, yeah, it idles better for some reason, pulls harder at around 2500rpm, all the way to redline at 5200


have not dyno'd it, cause A) its an automatic and B) I would rather buy more parts =)

So, being the die hard ETA fan that I am, :) Do you think I should do this swap?

[bwanac]

And I still want to know how the 'i' valve cover fits on the eta head.

I thought that could not work! :?

it is a direct swap, what is the issue? there is just a big gay looking eta bracket that gets left off.

[MR 325]

Guess I need one of those too......... Yay :) lol

Thanks Jordan. I dont know, I remember a while back when someone said the 'i' cover would not work with the eta head. I guess I can know now. :up:
