Intake Manifold

[Stygian]

Any recommendations for an aftermarket intake manifold for the MT as I read a thread that the stock one can warp.

 

[Stygian]

anyone know if this will fit the MT http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/it.A/id.4477/.f

Yes, looks like sandard flange for CY, HY and Zenoah Motors. I was thinking about an aluminum spacer, however I have used plastic/phenolic spacers on intake manifolds and the truth is, they are cooler. The point is to keep the carb as cool as possible, the cooler the carb stays, the denser the fuel charge. . Aluminum spacer heats up very quickly and transmits heat right into the carb bolted to it. I would say aluminum is more for looks, then performance

Oh ok, thanks for that info, I don't really have a preference I just want a different color outside the stock one it comes with, I don't really care for the aluminum/plastic look so trying to change as much as I can do get rid of the black plastic look.

There may be custom colors available. I would use some High temp paint on the black one, be sure to get all of the oils off first using dawn soap or laquer, these work great on oil. If it will work on an oily V8, it should work on an RC car lol.

I might just buy a new plastic one and paint it. When painting things you always have to primer it first right, I don't know much about painting.

Primer is good to use on plastic, I use Dupli-Color High Heat paint w/ceramic. This stuff is GREAT. Can be purchased at your local auto parts dealer.

I got The tall manifold and i Love it.

What air filter are you using, I like how it points up, the one I have now hits the throttle/brake servo which I don't like too much.

 

[Sergio]

For that You need The inclined shredstack

The airfilter is a baja 5b

If You Get it You wont have that problem no more The linkages wont hit anything

 

[Stygian]

aah ok, I just might buy a different filter then to go on velocity stack I have. Also looking at that stack it reminds me I lost (no idea how) the screws for the carb/air filter, you guys know what size/part number I need to reorder them?

 

[Sergio]

Dude go to The hardware store if they are too long Just cut them with a dremmel thats what i did. I missplace screws all The time too

 

[Sergio]

I go to ace hardware store Just bring The carb and manifold so You can try them two washers and two lock washers

Good idea, but I'm too OCD/Anal and have to have the original ones that are made for it otherwise it will just piss me off knowing they aren't the ones made for it lol.

The plastic intakes warp from heat causing air leaks and engine failure.don't purchase a plastic intake and paint it not worth the hassle.buy a good aluminum intake and get good gaskets.plastic is cooler for 1:1 automobile cold air intakes bc the air is not heated so quickly by the hotter metal tubes so ur forcing colder air to the motor.but on rc engines u wont notice the difference of a 1 inch plastic intake plus the high temps warp and cause severe tuning issues.ask any one that switched to a aluminum intake if they go back to a plastic one.i highly doubt it....just my 2 cents...

Yes they fit. These type of parts are universal.
