Just like the title says.

Is your intake manifold plasic or metal??

 

Are you serious? The intake manifold is metal (cast iron I think, or aluminum), but the cover on the intake runners is plastic...

 

a lot of people in other forums are reporting that it's plastic, saying that using nitrous in an RSX is a bad idea cause the intake manifold might not be able to handle it.. what's going on?

 

Type S one looks to be metal, dont know about the bases that one looks plastic

 

There are numerous people on clubrsx running a 50 shot, and I believe there are 3 people running a 75. Most of the 75 guys have gone through at least 3 bottles with no problems thus far.

 

i'm only speaking to the S-Type. it's metal.

 

it DEFINITELY is metal. on the base rsx it just has a plastic cover over it.

 

plastic = BAD
metal = GOOD what the hell is acura thinking...i mean i dont care if its a base model...thats just dumb

 

I just checked on mine right now, and it deffinitely is metal.

 

is yours a Type-s or base model

 

there's nothing wrong with plastic manifold.. the GSR had plastic manifold.. plastic manifold allows the engine to run dual intake runners.. short and long ..

 

nope the gsr intake manifold is not plastic.....its METAL ...

 

There seems to be two theories going around about the base RSX. One is that it's a plastic cover on top of a metal manifold (which IMO is better than having just a metal manifold because the plastic will likely act as a heat shield) and the other theory is that it's a plastic manifold (in order to allow the use of dual runners). IMO, that's a smart move by Acura.

1. Molded plastic is smoother than metal. When talking about the inside walls of the intake manifold, that's a good characteristic.

2. Plastic is cheaper than metal, cutting down costs.

 

am i the only one who understands that plastic melts at high temperatures? i.e. temperatures inevitable to exist in any car's engine???? a plastic IM would make no sense to me.

GSR IM is metal. i don't know where you got plastic from. i can stare at it right now and tell you it's metal.

 

you are simply an idiot. plastic and manifold are 2 words that should not be put together. if your manifold is plastic it will melt. don't you know your engine heats up pretty hot? when it heats up that hot it will melt the manifold. If not the whole manifold, parts of it. Why don't you show us some pics TofuRSX? hmm?

 

 

focuses have plastic intake manifolds.

 

all you fools screaming gsr has metal manifold.. then tell me how the **** does the gsr run dual runners then??? how can you run dual runners with metal manifold.. you jackasses .. get a ****** clue..

 

and you jackasses really think they use the same plastic that your ****** plastic folks are made off?? so that **** can melt?

 

hmm... i hear 'flame me, flame me'.
not worth the time.

 

do you have a gs-r? if not go look at one and take a pic for us.
i know for a fact that honda and toyota have intake manifolds that have dual runners that are made of metal

 

moron.

 

are you on crack or something....you get a clue...if ya wanna start call peeps idiots....at least get the facts straight....dumb *** newbie....the gs-r IM is metal ...do i have to hit you over the head with one to prove it ..... and were talking about intake manifold....you know that big silver thing with the fuel injectors on it....not the intake...or airbox....INATKE MANIFOLD....

 

Im not even going to say anything about this idiot..What I should do is post this thread in the kills section and let them rip him apart, limb....from...limb...Hey Im lazy can someone post this in kills for me? thanks.. hope this kid learns a lesson......May God have mercy on your soul.....hehe...

 

hahahah, OWNED!
