Intake manifold

[JDyal]

Hey guys now I've seen a lot of pics of Galants, Outlanders, and Diamante's ims, but this looks nothing like it. Unless I'm stupid and it's somewhere else but idts since this is hooked up to the tb. Help with an explanation please?

Help with what? You have a stock IM on your car. (The black thing the TB and CAI are connected to.)

[JDyal]

So how come other IM don't look like that....oh wait maybe because it was a v6

[oakrdrs187]

Diamantes are V6, so yes they are different. The direct fit for the i4 is the outlander non-mivec manifold, however you may use V6 TBs. The G in my sig is outlander IM and TB swapped.

Smacks head against the wall.

Do some research. It helps out a lot knowing what is what,

Some parts are interchangeable with the 4g64 and the 6g72, example TB

Yeah sorry I did research but never saw an i4 TB

[oakrdrs187]

You have an i4 TB its the stocker, nobody upgrades to it, its really a downgrade if you have an outlander or V6 TB. You can upgrade to a V6 TB and keep it if you choose to swap the IM to the outlander.

[JDyal]

Yeah I plan on doing that, just need the parts, I've been waiting to buy a v6 tb and just need an outlander IM. Is the outlander IM and v6 IM the same?

Smacks head harder again.


I'll make this easy for you,

NO.

I'm trying hard not to bash you right now so, again look up some pics of the two engine bays you should see a big difference on how they would not work...

I did and I thought they were similar since the TB is the same diamater so I thought the IM would be the same. I'm not retarded just asking questions to things I didn't see is all. I don't need to be bashed for that unless I did something truly stupid or offended anyone which I didn't.

A V6 intake manifold will have six runners for 6 cylinders. An intake manifold will only have 4 runners for a 4 cyl engine.

[JDyal]

Ah didn't think of that and I know only the 03 2.4 im will work....I keep forgetting it's not a v6 since i assume it is since it's a truck

[oakrdrs187]

See if this will explain the differences between the 2, everyone was a noob once. The manifolds are designed differently. One (the V6) has more runners than the other and bolts up differently to yet another manifold in itself that distributes the air to the 2 heads. Again it does not bolt on directly to the cylinder heads like the 2.4 does.

This is a V6 upper IM, 6 runners won't bolt up to a 4cyl head.

The i4 manifold bolts directly on the cylinder head, directly sending air from the TB to a maximum of 4 cylinders.

This is your manifold, this is a view from the bottom.

Here's the manifolds side by side.

Outlander by itself.

oh thanks a lot. I get it now and why i was told v6 tb won't fit on i4...duh...well I'm about to get a v6 tb and is it a direct bolt on to an outlander im?

[oakrdrs187]

Yes.

Thanks for all your help i appreciate it
