looking for: european ZM intake manifold with twin runner system.

[Etienne]

Hi,

I'm from Canada, and the ZM engines in Protege's here do not have the VICS system (dual runners with butterflies that open at high rpm).

I'd like to add this to my car. I'm quite capable of doing it and I've already dealt with this kind of intake system before, in an old BP engine...

Anyhow, if anyone can find me a used ZM intake manifold from Europe with the VICS actuator solenoid and all the associated hardware, that'd be great.

I have no idea how much these are worth over there, so I can't exactly say how much I want to pay... you'll have to tell me!

here's exactly what I need, as per www.protegefaq.net webpage:

ZM39-13-130A intake manifold plenum
ZM39-13-100B intake manifold runners
ZM39-13-135A intake manifold plenum gasket
ZM39-13-121 intake manifold support bracket
HE41-13-995 check valve
BP5W-18-741 vacuum solenoid

see the difference in the intake manifolds?

Finding BJ's on scrapyards in Europe is quite impossible.
And if there are any cars the whole engine was taken out.

I know of a site which has the parts for the 2.0 engine but if they have it for the ZM? You could make a call.

Check it out.
www.autobreakers.co.uk

ps. don't send them mails. They have an annoying e-mail-filter.

North East Motor Salvage have a 1.6 in at the moment, not sure if it is the one your after though.

yup, that car has the intake manifold!
be sure to get ALL the hoses, brackets, etc associated with the intake manifold!

that engine has higher compression pistons than the US one too

@ maff, do you have more sites like that?
Still needing some 2.0 parts X-(

are good, you request the parts and they search round the scrapies for you.
all the other scrap yards you need to ring and ask
