Intake Manifold Problem

[silver01g]

Does anyone know the cause of a cracked intake manifold? its cracked around the cylinder that seats right behind the mount where the TB connects to the intake manifold. this will be the second one ive replaced, so i need to know what is causing it crack, so i dont crack a third.

bad motor mounts

If you have a 4G64 setup, then this is a very common problem. The stock intake manifold is known to crack, that is why you should consider swapping in an Outlander manifold.

ok, i was told that there was a HOW TO on the Outlander manifold. But i dont see it, can anyone link me to it. or was it erased?

I searched and couldn't find it. I believe that krispy03 did this a while back. This is a direct bolt-on, just get the Outlander manifold, TB, and TPS.

OK, sorry a bit slow here, but what is a "TPS"? So i will need the TB from the Outlander as well? O look at me i sound like a newbee...

TPS = Throttle Position Sensor

Underrated wrote up a tutorial, but it was unfortunately lost in the forum move for GalantForums. I think I have it archived somewhere - will see if I can find it.

i changed my intake manifold 3 times, after the first time i changed my mounts but it still cracked!!! so i took my intake to a muffler shop and had it welded on the inside($20), i also put jb weld around the outside!!!!!!! It has been perfect for months!!!!!!!!!!
