looking for 2002 mp3 intake manifold

Yeah the 2002 MP3 was a super rare car. As in None were produced :) LIke MP3Moose said, 2001 would work alot better for you :)
 
depending on what you offer i might be willing to get rid of my extra, shoot em a pm with an offer, its in 100% condition, still on the car in dallas so i'll need a couple of weeks to go down to dallas for another parts run.
 
As a matter of fact im going to use VICS thats why i want it. All i would have to do is hook it up to my msd with a rpm pill. Plus i can get it to open at whatever rpm i want, but anyway ill give u 200$. hollar at me

Would a Proteg5 intake manifold do the job? I know for sure that it has VTCS. If so I have one for sale. 150$ + shipping (from Montreal)
 
i don't know if this set-up will work...how would the ecu work with that? i think the probes have distributors...and with the vtcs/vics being controlled by the ecu...would this even work?
 
What he'd have is a vac solenoid that activated at a certain RPM, 5200ish, presumibly, using an RPM pill and a switch module from MSD or somesuch. That would allow the vac to draw from the vac switch, and pull the VICS open. It'd take a bit of plumbing and electrical work, but not too much.

The car may either run too rich or too lean, though, up that high, since it's changing the air flow characteristics, so he'll need some method of controlling fuel delivery, too, obviously.
 
Well, he probably already has a turbo, hence the name (ray w on boost), so he has to have some sort of fuel control already... Weather it's going to allow for the sort of adjustment he'll need remains to be seen, so just getting that tuned may or may not be an issue.

The wiring is actually pretty simple to get everything working, and it comes in place in the stock form of the intake manifold, but I'm not sure if he can use the vac solenoids the we have, as I don't know exactly what the voltage/amperage draw is on the stock solenoids, perse. But such is the life when you're doing custom work. =)
 
Not really... I also have spare vac solenoids around.. so you'd need the manifold, a relay, the vac solenoid and the MSD pill to set it to open at an rpm..

VTCS is for idle.. VICS is the runner length change for high end performance... VTCS sucks.. VICS good...
 
Doesn't take that much to convert a P5 mani over though.. you onlyneed to plug the end hole.. the rest can be left open as there is port sharing at the flange anyway...
 
i'm too lazy to do all that...besides, i can get some work done to this one and i'll still be able to drive the car
