Inlet Manifold

[jonnyshaw89]

I have been looking at making quite a change to the air intake system on my car.

the first problem i have is that on the 1.4 and 1.6 engines the throttle body is at the back of the engine bay. so i was looking at getting a few samco hoses. but that was looking expensive.

Then i came across the inlet manifold on the new megane k4m engine with its side mounted throttle body, more like the sport.

I was just wondering if anyone knew if this inlet manifold would fit my clio as this new engine is also a k4m

 

[jonnyshaw89]

I think this new manifold is also on the new clios

 

[jonnyshaw89]

Anyone know where i could get one of these manifolds to try?

Buy mine and make an adaptor for your FBW throttle body.

 

[jonnyshaw89]

How much?

 

[jonnyshaw89]

also i think the twingo rs manifold may fit?

also i think the twingo rs manifold may fit?

But only in combination with the lower section and I think the hole for the crankcase breather is different, too...

don't use the twingo RS plenum. It just heats up the intake air too much. (city cruise ~30-40°C above ambient temp)

 

[Oliver_K4M]

Other possibility would be DBilas, but fu***** expensive!

 

[jonnyshaw89]

do you think this one would fit?

price & how did you solve the valvecover venthole problem? with this plate shown on the picture? can you give me details?

the "vent hole" isn't an oil breather, it's just a vacuum take-off that goes to the carbon canister. It's unimportant. There's a very small oil hole that you can just put a screw in

that's interresting. I thought it looks like this?

yes and the outlet for that is to the left (where the end of your arrow is), which connects to the cannistor.

that's a very late engine i think, not like the earlier ones at all. can't quite see what's going on. What i said is true of mk2 clios

damn it, I don't get it. what's the purpose of the whole system?

Hi Manfred,

look this is the difference of these plates (for the old K4Ms) if you have mechanical throttle with an external idle-regulator or if you have electric throttle:

 

[frediiii]

thanks, oliver. that clears everything up

I'm interested... Tell me more about this manifold - where does it make power? How much power? How much is it?
