Nope.

 

[Ali]

yeh they are!! The Plenum chamber isn't!

 

[Ronnie R]

I always thought they were slightly different.

 

[Ali]

The inlets are the same, the bolt spacing on the plenum is different.

What? How come I can't buy 172 matched inlets to fit my 182? (I'm not sure what a plenum chamber is )

Plenum's the top bit with the Renault Sport on it, the intake is 2 parts, they split. the actual inlets are the same, i had 182 and 172 both on my car, it was only the plenium that didn't fit, 9Extra breather too iirc)

I've got pics...somewhere...

....Providing the plenum if off a 182 you're fine, if not, you're mate is talking drivel!

The bottom inlet are the same yes but the top inlet (plenum) is different, the 182 had an extra air intake hole compared to the 172, also the back bolt holes on the pleum are different so if you try to put a 182 plenum on your 172 the bolt holes will not match up

 

[clionotts]

from what i can see the top plenum has a hole in bottom.cheers for ya help guys
