Group buy on twin carb manifolds for small blocks ?

anyone up for it ? seeing as we've all been expressing an interest to go a little quicker ?

any idea where we'd even source them from in germany !?

amazing bargin you got with those twin carbs, what make?
i remember reading in practical performance car mag of an engineering firm that would make inlet manifolds to order, for ?180 for a one off, i'll find out more info.

Nice one ! maybe they'll knock a bit off for 5 or something.

I've got a set of dellortos.  

I've got a set of webers on my bug, so this makes a nice change.

have you seen this interesting thread on the polo forum?

http://www.pitstopdeve…orum/viewtopic.php?t=3849

ok, i've looked through my filing(large pile of semi-usefull crap behind the sofa!), ppc(aug05) had a small piece on manifolds for bike throttle bodies, Altiss Engineering(07890 591618) could make manifolds(and fitting kit) in TIG welded alloy to a customers exact requirements from ?180. i'm sure a double carb manifold is easily within their expertise.
hope this helps.

nice, may just be interested in this, but have to be a double so i could fit some gsxr600 throttle bodies, thats the current urban myth iv heard on pitstop developments, but i like the sound of it!!
 
 so a 1300 driver will be kicking out how many bhp? after the throttle bodies/webbers, straight through exhaust, port polish, new plugs, etc??

cud be interesting….

sounds interesting! count me in!

newbie question but are 1.1 and 1.3 manifolds the same?

Will

I'd be very interested, if I can get someone to fit and set-up the kit.

Just reading that pitstop thread freaks me out…. I can strip and clean the carb, replace the rubber mount but that's it!


 :dontknow:

rah !! now THATS what im talking about !

we need a pic of the inlet on a 1.1 head ? anyone got one lying about, i've got a 1.3, will get pics in the morn.

Question, are the HK code 1.3's the same physically ? as thats what i have…….9.5:1 compression ratio apparently !  :twisted:

look what you lot have made me do! i had only intended to help Gold-mk1 out with some info, and now i've gone and bought  a set of motorbike carbs(browsing ebay is never a good idea)!! I'm never going to get this bloody car finished.
just a hunch but i think the 1.1 and 1.3 inlet manifolds are the same.

agh ! dude ! you should have said, i've got a perfect set of carbs off a CBR 600 you could have had !

no matter - what you got, and how much you pay !?   :twisted:

what you got, and how much you pay !?

gsxr 600- ?20.51 inc p+p 8)

pics ?   hehhehe

check out this sample of altiss engineerings work

those are throttle bodies aren't they ? nice.

so, how many people are genuinely interested ? theres no point in approaching them unless we have some definates.

nice.

also, what does everyone want? gold-mk1 your looking to mate twin dellortos to ?, Dub_Driver needs to mate gsxr600 throttle bodies to ? and i'm mating gsxr 600 carbs to a 1.3?
these are all different applications so different manifolds and no group discount.
i think this thread needs to run for a bit to see who's interested in what, maybe even post a similar thread on the polo forums?

Hmm, i'd buy my manifold direct from SORG if someone could put me in contact with them, although i suspect it would be pricey.

lets see what happens, im tempted to have a go myself actually……already started chopping up an old v'dub inlet manifold tonight. !

im in same boat as dan, got a 1300 and wana mate gsxr600 carbs, and goldmk1 you wana pm wiva price for the set your selling? could start the ball rolling on my project, although the main target at the moment is bodywork, i want a nice purrrrrr coming from the engine.

dans your rite bout leaving the thread for a bit get more interest, dont kno bout wiv the polo forum, hey all seem to hate golfs?

Hi all, that's my thread on the Pitstop forum, weather is a bit to bleek to continue with things in the garden so I might pick up on it later, although I have no spare shell to put the engine in!

Initially I was thinking of using a cut down GT/G40 inlet manifold (haven't found one complete yet/still) but from seeing the picture dan posted:
(except I need to use some injectors.)



This looks just the ticket for those wanting to use bike carbs! But it depends on cost…

What is the outside diameter (OD) of your GSXR600 Carbs dan on the engine port side? Ditto Gold-mk1 with the CBR600's.

GSXR600 throttle bodies = 42mm (OD), centres = ~181mm
GSXR600 carbs =   , centres =
CBR600 =   , centres =

For those with bike equipment, a manifold similar to the Altiss Engineering piece could well do for all of us even if the measurements are a couple of mm out, as you can use a bit of hose and clips to mate them up as many do.

Advanced Autosport Technologies (http://www.ten24.co.uk/aat/index.php?cPath=84_27) do manifolds for 40/45 DCOE carbs but from reading a thread on another forum, their service isn't exactly brilliant, better off with Sorg and I do believe that there is a UK distributor.
