Ph2 172 Upper inlet plenum...will it fit a 182?

[Christopher]

As above. Or do i need an inlet from a 182?

i know the fbw throttle is the same but i'm sure some of the power gains over the 172 are in the inlet? :S the casting is improved possibly? better flow?

Cheers

The 'Renault sport' bit? If so no. Has different breather arrangement iirc

The lower inlet manfifold is generic but as Gaz said, the plenum (Renaultsport bit) is specific to each model.

It can be made to fit, the breather hole on the 182 is blocked up, plus its got a couple of other differences. easier to get the right one.

Sounds like a much better design. Is that the breather that comes through from the rocker cover?

yep, i believe so, it was blocked up on my 182.

Bugger. That breather makes a right old mess. If i'd have known the difference I would have made the change as I'm having my belts changed in a couple of weeks so I could have done the rocker as well.
