Intake manifold for 2 litre 16v

**sports racer** · 06-12-2014, 01:05 AM

I've got a 2.0 16v that I need to complete before I can put it into my MK2.

I need an intake manifold to suit my 9a motor but I think one from a KR will also fit - correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm after torque over horsepower so is the 42mm manifold a better option over the 50mm manifold?

Anyone know if I need any more bits for the conversion?

Cheers

Paul

I've got a SEAT one off an ABF. 50mm I think.

Upper and lower pieces $150 plus postage.

Might not suit if you're staying K-Jet though. I'm not sure if the K-Jet injectors can be made to work in an EFI manifold.

I don't have the ABF fuel rail but I know someone who might.

Thanks Pete, I'll do a bit of research and let you know.

You'll need the throttle body too,and lots of Kjet stuff.
Be easier to carb it.

Looks like I need the manifold off a KR engine, ABF one won't suit so I'm going to see Matt at Camden GTI for some bits.

Twin webbers would be awesome and easy to maintain but I do too many ks per week and need to keep the petrol costs down. I'm already running K-jet so I'm hoping I don't have to get too much stuff. The picture above is of the MK1 where I got the motor.

seeing your going into a Mk2 you will need the drivers side throttle body manifold, I have 2 x Scirocco 16V manifolds and may have a Mk2 top section, will take a gander in the workshop manifold box tomorrow and let you know.

I do have the lower section for sure I know.

I'll swap you a 16v G2 top one for a scirocco one !

OK,
Only got the lower section left, prob chucked the top part out as I dont use them ( kept it for mounting bike injection to )

As for swapping a Scirocco inlet that'll be a negatory, these things cost about 5 x their weight of gold when you can find someone who will do the shipping for you.

I can ask around O/S for you but you will need to give me an idea of your budget ...

You should have said I have 2 Scirocco manifolds but they are not available.I've got lots of stuff too that I'm keeping.lol
I don't need or want one it would get thrown in the corner with the rest of the 16v stuff.
Thanks for the offer to find one though.
