Cheapest inlet matching

[Ph1 Tom]

Where is the cheapest place to do this? Before anyones says do it yourself the answer is NO! :rasp:

Buy cheap buy twice. Usually pop up on here for sensible money

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Cheapest isn't always the worst . I've been looking at Ktec, Jamsport etc. and there's a good looking manifold on ebay but again that's Ph2. I'm in talks with the guy who ports heads for me at the moment.

The ones on here are always Ph2 inlets, no good for me. And I don't want to buy a lower half then match it to my top half. I just want to send my ph1 inlet off for a decent job.

I am pretty sure the engineering company you are trying to arrange a headwork GB with would be able to do it?

Can you PM me price and pics please? Or if email is easier I can PM you that.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Scratch that I've found the thread. I'll be in touch

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I can send mine off, have them matched, blasted and painted for £150 including return delivery. The guys work is second to none so I'll see if I can get a spare inlet set unless I go for yeecup's

 

[NotoriousLor]

Can you get mine done for that?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Yes.

I could also set up a group buy

excuse me for asking a silly question here but whats the difference between a phase 1 and 2 top inlet ? i have a inlet at the moment not clear on which phase it falls into as its for sale ! thanks

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I have set up a group buy now. £100 for both parts of the inlet to be matched!!

There are differences between the Ph1 172, Ph2 172 and 182 Inlets, they are all different and not interchangeable.

Any ideas what these differences are ? I know my 182 inlet has two bolt holes at the back of the manifold and the usual ones to the lower inlet !
But the other manifold I have looks the same but the bolt holes at the back there's only one on the right side where it bolts to the rocker cover , other than that looks identical !

 

[mark123]

The lower half are interchangeable but later cars have the RS stamped one which is slightly better.

For the top half, the 182 and 172 have different breathing arrangements at the back as you've mentioned.

The 172 ph1 and 172 ph2 have different bolt spacings for the different throttle bodies, DBW vs cable.

 

[Beasley Clio182]

Fantabulous so mines a phase 2 172 inlet because the throttle body fits of my 182 just different at the back ! Winner thanks boys !
