Intake manifold

It's plastic. What canwe do about this? Anyone know if the one on the renault is aluminum? will a 1.8 sentras fit?

Haven't seen a Renault 1.8 around anywhere to know, probably is the same though. And 1.8L Sentra is a different engine, doubtful it would even be close. There were rumors of one being made from aftermarket, but never happened.

Not really an issue being plastic, not boosting, shouldn't blowup or anything.

What's wrong with it being plastic? I have yet to work on a car that had a metal intake manifold. And plastic won't absorb as much heat as metal and heat up the air coming in even more.

yeah the aftermarket intake manifold fell through, the guy who made it, dropped off of the face of the earth...

Seems like everyone who is making something for the Versa suddenly just falls of the face of the earth.

I would think black plastic would absorb more heat than metallic alluminum. Ive never heard of a plastic intake manifold tbh but im far from an expert. :pI know the Acura TSX manifold fits onto the RSX and they have different engines just as long as the holes are bigger and the bolts match. Ill do research.

When talking about Acura/Honda engines it seems like almost any car will match another in their line. You'll find its not the case with Nissan. Believe the Sentra 1.8L to be mostly "Nissan" built, where as the MR18 in Versas are mostly "Renault".
