View Full Version : Cracked Intake manifold plastic YourMainParadox 06-29-2006, 11:57 PM How hard is it to remove the old intake manifold? It is a plastic piece that has a crack right near the place the gas cable goes to the throttle body. Are there any manifolds that are better than stock but not for turbo. Mine has a crack in it and I wanted to replace it but the only place I can find it is from the dealer. o.o Anyone know if i can fix the old one or a place a can get a used one for cheap or get a better one? blitz_xb 06-30-2006, 03:27 PM removing the stock intake manifold isnt hard and can be done in a short time. as far as a new manifold WR was making one but didnt have much luck so i think your stuck w/ the dealer unless you want to go with ITB's YourMainParadox 06-30-2006, 03:29 PM ITB's?

There are also a couple yards to call for pricing. Good luck. YourMainParadox 06-30-2006, 05:01 PM they are mostly yards from far away :( and I dun think the dealer price is much more than that O.O rollhard 06-30-2006, 05:12 PM good luck trying to find such a new car in the yards. Ive been looking for an 03+ celica so I can bum the injectors for a while now. Anyways, how did you crack the manifold? Its a very strong plastic which is strong enough for even fairly high boost. YourMainParadox 06-30-2006, 05:15 PM hehe another car decided it liked the front end of this car more than the xb did. Anyone have one they took off their car when they added a turbo or whatever? YourMainParadox 06-30-2006, 05:32 PM i just happened to stop by discount auto parts and it said they carry all oem parts for most newer cars. I went in and asked about the intake manifold and they pointed me to cold air intakes X.x and then exhaust manifolds X.X I told them that it was neither and it baffled them. rollhard 06-30-2006, 06:47 PM i just happened to stop by discount auto parts and it said they carry all oem parts for most newer cars.

Rather cheap at $106.92 before shipping. YourMainParadox 07-01-2006, 01:42 AM Dude. I love you Keitaro! I will still see if anyone has a used one for cheaper since there is still alot of other parts I have to replace. YourMainParadox 07-01-2006, 01:46 AM Anyone have one of these babies laying around after adding their supercharger? Sell it to me cheap!
