Original RENAULT Intake Manifold / Injector Rail Spacer for Clio 2 RS 182 hp

The 182 Hp Factor: Original RENAULT Intake Manifold / Injector Rail Spacer for Clio 2 RS

The Renault Clio 2 RS is an icon, and the 182 horsepower model is a benchmark in compact sports vehicles. Without this original intake manifold, you risk losing the efficiency and power gain for which the 182 version is so sought after.

What Will You Lose by Not Having This Original Intake Manifold?

Installing a non-compliant or damaged manifold on your F4R engine exposes you to several risks that compromise the performance and value of your Clio 2 RS:

• You lose the power gain: This specific injector rail spacer is designed with optimized runners for airflow, which is the notable difference from the 172 hp model. A non-compliant part will make you lose a portion of those 182 horsepower.
• You risk poor fuel atomization: Being an injector rail holder as well, its precision is vital. A defect can lead to incorrect fueling and a loss of engine efficiency.
• You lose authenticity: For enthusiasts and collectors, the RS logo engraved into the casting is a guarantee of originality and maintains the resale value of your Clio 2 RS.
• You compromise reliability: Original Renault parts are designed to withstand the thermal stresses of a sports engine. A questionable replacement part can lead to cracks and detrimental air leaks.

Compatibility and Key Technical Features

This intake manifold is the benchmark for any Clio 2 RS owner, whether it is the 172 hp version (recherchant the 182 hp conversion) or already the 182 version. It is the essential element for air supply and anchoring the injectors.
