youll need to host them on an external website such as photobucket etc or become a full member to attach pics

I've fixed your link, in future you can just click on the code on the left of the photo entitled "IMG Code" and it will copy the correct code to the clipboard for you

i think you will find the twin port on the inlet is an EGR (Exhaust gas Recirculation) inlet from the exhaust, mine has been blocked with a metal plate when the EGR system was removed, you can get this manifold without this port on, i have one if you need it

Thats cool :grinning:

I guess ill just block it off to! Though im sure its part of the water gallery, it was full of rad weld!

 

[imp124]

ok, i may be mistaken (its what i was told when i got it)

 

[hoverbover]

The thing is that the chamber doesnt go anywhere! I took it to nissan maindealer and they were clueless!

The double port:

Im not sure about this but heres a theory...

Background:
on my head on the exhaust side, I have an extra port as part of port 2 or 3.....this is blocked up during manufacture but i'm told that this is where EGR gasses would be taken from if this head was cast for egr.....

Theory:

one of the double inlet ports could be for coolant...like you said earlier..... to circulate (to warm up those parts of the inlet as soon as possible during warm up...<in the same way as the other water galleries in the inlet>)....the other part of the double port could be egr if it were fitted


may be you have a non-egr head with an egr inlet m/f?

Yeah i think now that someone has filled it with some substance to block it off but im sure it was radweld! It also has a steel blanking plate across the chambers so i think there was some kind of valve there originally!!
