Y8 (EX) intake manifold.

For those curious
Y8 manifold swap

*edit* Oh yea. How would I go about cleaning the inside of the runners? They got some carbon build up. Also, could I sand the inside of the runners a bit to smooth it out a little? Thx.

 

don't know what to say, probably makes something go faster and thats why you're doing it. all i can say is. congrats!

 

to clean the runners, i dunno spray some engine cleaner and degreaser in there and let it sit
or soak the whole unit, without the sensors of course, in a tub for a day or so
also theres no harm in trying to smooth out the air flow just dont mess it up hehe

 

Can i swap an EX to get rid of my CX IM? I hate teh size that its so samle. Its a 93 CX with a DX head?

 

The intake ports on the DX head might be smaller then those in the EX intake manifold, so the airflow might be disrupted quite a bit, however I have not had the oppertunity to compair gaskets. I would be willing to bet they don't match though, and if they don't it is bad for engine performance.

 

The way i clean the carbon off the manfold is by unhooking the air intake and getting a spraybottel with water wile the car is running i spray the water into the intake and it will lossen up the carbon with out any harm to the engine.
