YouTube - 14.6 2.2L Chevy Cobalt + Nitrous EXPLOSION!

can you imagine having a .. what looks to be.... a plastic intake manifold??

 

[|Chaz|]

WTF plastic?

 

[INJEN78]

newer toyotas run platic manifolds as well...but that one was FUCKED

 

[BrutalB83]

I believe the D17 has a plastic intake manifold as well...

 

[Civichatch9one]

beat me to it^ but yea the d17 and i thing the r18 and some other new hondas

 

[phyregod]

Yup. Automakers cutting corners wherever the hell they can. Honda jumped on the bus.

Old man honda is rolling over in his grave.

 

[Civichatch9one]

and aftermarket i/m's especially for the d17 can reach around 1,400s at least they have an option to get rid of that dumb top mount tho.

Has anybody tried using a Y8 manifold on the D17 engines? Seems like that might be a decent and cheap alternative to after-market, assuming that you could easily make it work of course...

 

[Civichatch9one]

yea some people do. *edit* it takes custom fab work to get it to work. but its an option. but people pushing big numbers on the d17 turbos use an aftermarket i.m from jdm fabtec. but like i said its costly.

GM's been using plastic intake manifolds since the mid 90's





they've always been POS's

 

[NissanNiNjA2nd]

The reason that happens in the same reason it happens in 302 intake manis

they are extremely bad at puddling the Nitrous into certain pockets and then it gets hot....... BOOM.

Direct port ftw.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Newer Mazdas use them too, at least I know the 3 does.

 

[Justin66]

Im glad ive got an older honda. Despite all that plastic, new cars are much heavier too.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

I'm starting to question some of the newer Hondas too. I've seen Civics in the autowecker with 400,000-500,000 kms on them and the Odysseys couldn't get 80,000 out of a transmission.

 

[Civichatch9one]

older hondas are where its at. i beat the shit out of my d15 when i wanted to swap it. and it wouldnt die. i had a 02 civic dd and gave it gas every now and again but never beat on it. and at 60k i spun a bearing. they dont make em like they used to.

 

[Justin66]

Make em last gentlemen!

...and a few ladies.

A lot of the 96 and up Hondas have the most issues. I know the 96-00 D16Y's having issues with oiling, thus you see a whole bunch of them with spun bearings or thrown rods.

I just don't see why they would run nitrous on a plastic manifold. They're just asking for trouble.
