Intake manifolds for Japanese 01+ 1.8L ???
So I was watching a Best Motoring video and they showed an underhood shot of a 1.8RS and I noticed the intake manifold looked a lot different. Now I'm trying to figure out what it is and what is different.
I'll post more pics if I can find them. It seems to be found on the RS 1.8L NB2 Miatas in Japan.
Some others I found while looking for pics...

I'm going to guess whatever manifold that is on the white NB is something unique to the 1800 RS. Any 1600/NB6C engine pictures I found had the same old 1.6 intake manifold we are used to. The regular 1.8 engine pics I found all had the "normal" intake manifold (with the top half of the manifold having 4 distinct runners). The manifold in question seems to have a larger plenum on the top half.

Well, I'd like to know what the inside of that manifold looks like. That will determine if it's a worthwhile part to track down.
Here is a pic I snapped of the VTCS actuator on the 2001+ manifolds. It's the bronzy/goldish circle that is buried deep in the picture. Does you intake manifold not have that Ismael?

See, I don't think it's a JDM-USDM thing. I think it's a specific model of JDM cars that have the intake manifold in question. I've been able to find plenty of pictures of "JDM" 1.8L engines with the intake manifold like the one I posted. The only cars I could find with the "odd" intake is any 1.8L "RS" version. Since you're not in the states, you may be able to clarify this to a greated extent. But looking though CarLife..most 1.8L and the MSM have the "normal" intake manifold (th eone with the 4 humps on the upper half).

What do you want to see/have pictures of?
This is just as I dropped it off in my garage
