the EXACt same thing happened to me. let me guess.. u tried to install the hondata gasket?> look on clubrsx.com i got mine for 140$.. u can get one as cheap as 100$. the rsx-s is the exact same part. meanwhile ur car should still run okay as long as its just a crack in ur manifold, just dont do anythin crazy.

Thats exactly what happened. But mine cracked the top right corner off, and there is a nice hole in one of the runners. We were just starting to put the manifold back on. I did not even have the studs back in yet and he started to crank the outside bolts down. He said he was not cranking that hard, but I know he was. From now on I am doing all of my work myself. I was quite pissed off.

ive got one... $150 plus shipping

its a type S, i can get pics if you want.

oh yea... im in canada so shipping might be a bit high. Let me know your zip code and i can get a quote. Also, i know im kinda new on here, but i have done business on clubrsx and ebay which i have references for if you like.

as long as the bolts are torqued to spec, nothing should crack or fall apart....correct?

NickZed20- Is the manifold new or used? My zip is 33702. See how much it is for two day insured. It does not matter which carrier.


!@#$%- I thought the same thing, but I guess cast aluminum can be brittle.

THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!!! my friend got a new torque wrench and he accidentally dialed it up to about 35 ft.lbs cracked the same upper right bolt, right across the injector port. i used bondo to seal it up for the time being, or jb weld. go on clubrsx im sure u can find someone nearby with one. or if u were crazy you could get the toda quad tb one for like 1k$

How many ft/lbs are the intake manifold bolts supposed to be cranked to? I have heard 14ft/lbs. Is this right?

yea its supposed to be 14.. if you dont have a tq wrench, just remember its not supposed to be hi tq, it should be just firm, you can imagine what 14ft/lbs feels like

Do you think that it would be easy to reach 14ft/lbs with a open end wrench?
