Inlet Manifold

[Dave_W]

OK, not sure, so thought I'd best ask

The air hose that comes from the top of the inlet manifold down to the induction kit, the big black flexy one.

Is it the same on a mk1 172 and on a mk2. Is it different to any of them, eg cup / full fat.

Does it make any difference?

Thanks

Can an admin move this to the correct forum please, as i'm clearly dumb and can't read!

Thanks

I know the airbox itself was improved over the mk1, but I would imagine that the hoses are the same.

the mk1 172 is the better airbox IMO

you mean the vaccum feed coming off the inlet (next to the throttle body)???

 

[Lagerlout]

If it's better, how comes they changed it then? Was it for noise levels or something?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i have no idea, BenjarmenR will know

 

[Dave_W]

I've got some pictures if you wouldn't mind taking a look and possibly pointing me in the right direction?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah cool post them up

something to do with the Mk1's lack of FBW throttle?...........



which is far superior btw.

Of course it is. It must have so much better for Renault to get rid of it.
