182 inlet manifold onto 172 cup

[ADS_V6]

hi is there any benefit to putting the standard 182 inlet manifold onto the 172 engine if so how easy is it to fit thanks all

 

[Budgie]

Nope. Not worth the effort.

People say the RS stamped lower is worth it, meh. For the difference, I wouldn't bother,

 

[ADS_V6]

thanks for reply wont bother then waste of dosh

You do mean the inlet manifold and not the exhaust manifold right?

Bump. I've read contradictory statements regarding 172 182 inlet manifolds.

Can any confirm if a 182 upper and lower inlet can be put onto a ph2 172? I want to fit an rs lower inlet to my ph2 172.

 

[bloke]

Lower is a straight fit.

 

[Thom_1991]

So 182 rs lower onto existing 172 upper? Cheers @bloke

 

[bloke]

Yup.

B&Q do a stone grinding kit for a regular drill, £4.99 and some engineers blue (marker) £1.50.

Set the gaskets over the ports, mark the excess metal with the engineers blue and then go nuts with the grinding stones. A couple of hours will port the inlets upper and lower. Just grind them out to almost out to match the gaskets. It's cheap and easy and gave me something to do in the garage when I couldn't be arsed getting dirty.

EDIT: Just realised the age of this thread ffs.
