Cracked Lower intake Manifold

Navi00 · Mar 27th, 2006, 04:29 PM

While enthuiastically tightening the bolts connecting my lower and upper intake manifold together, excited that my car would FINALLY be finished, I (I guess) over torqed a nut connecting the stud that screws into the lower intake manifold that the upper slides over and that whole area snapped and broke into pieces (on the lower intake).

What do you guys think I should do? -.-

Dang dude, that sucks. You're just going to have to go to a junk yard and pick one off from another car.

Ack, I thought that would be the case.

Yeah, and try finding a freaking SR20 that isn't a bazillion miles away at an autoyard, those things get eaten up!

Thanks though

Try www.sr20forum.com for a used manifold. Should be able to get one cheap.

I take that back about not being able to find an SR20 engine.

I got EVERYthing in that schematic above for $150 ^^

Message / email me and I'll help you out if you're looking for something =p

No promises, but I've aquired a pretty good amount of Sr20de engine stuff now.
