how to tell its a genuine 182 inlet?

[h4ml3t]

iv just receive what was listed as a 182 inlet of eBay, its going on my 172..
is there any way of visually knowing its a 182 inlet?

 

[devfuse]

i thought they were both the same ??

correct me if i a wrong ?

 

[h4ml3t]

i thought the inlet and manifold was diffrent? lol

 

[lemonnobby]

inlet ia diffent the 172 has a push fit vac pipe on the back and the 182 has a clip pipe fitment

The 182 doesn't have a hole for the breather like on a 172 afaik.

What are you trying to achieve by this?

The upper is almost no different, except the 182 has an extra vacuum fitting for the carbon canister, and where it bolts on at the back. No point changing the upper whatsoever. The RS embossed lower is worth using

What do u mean the rs lower? Lol

What do u mean the rs lower? Lol

he means the lower part of the inlet manifold. two parts, top and bottom. the bottom half which attaches to the head of the engine.

genuine one's ( or the good ones ) are stamped with R S on them.

The lower inlet manifold which has the RS stamped on it is better matched to the cylinder head than earlier versions Which were pretty poor!

Hence people getting their inlets matched!

Oooh I get ya! Il go have a look later il compare the two inlets to make sure it's actually a 182 one too

where would the stamp be located

 

[Dan519]

it's not a stamp, it's big 2 inch high letters, cast into the front of the middle 2 ports. right behind the fuel rail guard

whats the chances of it being on my car? 53 plate?
is it similar to the renault sport lettering thats on the upper part?

 

[Keith185]

Only real way is to physically check, teke the fuel rail guard off and should be able to see. No nothing like the RS lettering on top. Simple 'R S' pretty much in this sort of font.
