I Need an 84 or 85 ES2 Intake Manifold

[Boltgunner]

I have a manifold already, but it gets me to work and back. I need one more to modify for a carb swapping project. Once I am ready to swap, I can send my manifold to you, or pay you for your manifold, or pay the S/H to take it off your hands. Thanks!!!

P. S. - I have two references that indicate the ES2 was built with two different intake manifolds. Is this true? Anyone know if they are interchangeable? If not, Why?

[2ndGenGuy]

This is new information about the two different manifolds... I saw an ES2 pulled from the wrecking yard when I was there yesterday. I shoulda snagged it. I'll go back over there and see if I can get it.

If you go to www.car-part.com, enter 1984 Accord Intake Manifold, it will ask you which of two choices you want to make...

Intake Manifold



(1.8L, 4 cyl), thru eng #1562092, #1272620, #1037682 and #1905341
(1.8L, 4 cyl), from eng #1562093, #1272621, #1037683 and #1905342


Now, I don't know where this number resides on my motor (will go look at my silver POS shop manual tonight to see) but this is what car-part wants to know. I THINK it won't matter which one you have since I THINK there is only one intake manifold gasket available...

BTW, if you enter 1985 instead of 1984 in car-part, you get the choice of carb or FI intake...

My '84 parts car still has an intake manifold.. If you know which numbers/identification I need to look for and where they are, I can tell you if it's compatible.

[Boltgunner]

Thanks, Rustedout, as soon as I can find the number I will reply.

I snagged that one from the wrecking yard... It took me an hour and a half to get off, even with the engine pulled out of the car.




It was $22 after tax at the wrecking yard. If you want, you it, you can PayPal me the cost + shipping and you can just have it instead of shipping it back. Regardless if there are 2 different ones or not, the carb flanges are the same, and don't forget about the second runners for the CVCC auxilary chambers. Gotta keep em fueled too.

[Boltgunner]

U da MAN! Thank you for taking the time to extract that bad boy!

If you will work up a driveout amount I will PP it over...Thanks AGAIN!!! This is gonna be part of Project Holley 5200!

Any idea why there appears to be two different intakes back in 84?

What was the good-sized black hose hooked to? The one that is still clamped to the intake?

[Boltgunner]

OK, I figured out that the hose is for hot water to flow into the intake. John, do you use that feature - do you run the hot water through that passage?

I thought the A20 intake does not have water running through it - yes/no?

I am sooo tempted to grind off everything but runners/mounting flange to the block, and the carb mounting face...

[2ndGenGuy]

I am pretty sure the A20 also has the water going through it. In fact, I think there is water going through the carb on the A20, but don't quote me on that. My car still has all the water hoses running through it. The manifold is untouched on my car, but yeah I'd love to do what you're talking about. I was actually looking at this one thinking, hmm! I could send it to a welder and cut out all the shit I don't want, clean it up and have it looking really nice. But I'll let you do it instead. I'll get you a shipping quote tomorrow or Monday.

[Boltgunner]

I am presently thinking I would like to excise the water jacket metal and the egr metal from the stock manifold (weight reduction!). That means I would have to weld up the egr cutaway since I would have a hole in a runner, right?
I am also thinking, if I can reach it, to drill/grind a hole inside the intake so the aux valve runner pulls from beneath the new carb. That way it has an easier time getting fuel/air to the mini-me valves.
I want to make a phenolic spacer/adapter, so the carb is insulated and at the correct elevation, so the stock air cleaner will be close to the stock position.
Now, the real trick is, this carb has a history of being installed on American cars at their factories with the carb float towards the radiator - thusly, the two barrels have to be at 90 degrees to the cuurent holes in the intake. If there is enough cast aluminum in the intake, some creative Dremeling or flex hose hand piece grinding/cutting will make it so.
So, that's the "plan". If it works, and you want my old intake in return, we can do dat!
