16v Dcoe Manifold With Injector Pockets?

[[L'e$kro] 2]

Hello!

 

I'm looking for an inlet manifold for my DCOE throttle bodies

Engine is a gti-6 one..

But I'm looking after one with injector pockets, in order to run a 8 injectors setup (4 on manifold+4 on throttle bodies)

I bought one on ebay but I never received it, so I'm not even sure it ever existed (no pictures in the ad)

 

Any idea where I could find this?

 

Regards,

I very much doubt so, the name of the manifold suggests most certainly not, i.e its made for carbs.

 

What I would be tempter to try is to obtain a bare original manifold, cut the plenum off and weld on a flange to accept some throttle bodies, thus enabling 2 rows of injectors to be used.

 

as it happens, its very close to what DrSarty has on his engine and what Colin Satchell (Eeyore) may be able to make for you.

Thanks very much for this answer

 

I will probably cut my gti-6 manifold then, but I'm just not sure there will be enough angle to clear the bonnet...

 

I've sourced aluminium flanges on ebay. *ebay buying mode: ON*

Sandy & Colin Satchell (Eeyore) on here make exactly what your after ! They are designed with under bonnet fitment in mind aswell, so you'd have no issues with clearance against the bonnet and they are reasonably priced too.

The gains from this setup are good aswell

I know what you mean, but by using the original manifold rather than an off the shelf generic item I would imagine you have a greater chance of making it fit.

according to http://www.teglerizer.com/dcoe/images/dcoe_dimension_end.jpg, the spacing between DCOE ports is 90mm

 

does someone know the inlet ports/cylinders spacing of an Xu engine?

I have found exactly what I need in this topic from M_R_205: http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...+inlet+manifold

I have the same throttle bodies (i thought I was the only one to have them !)

You need one of these buddy...

 

 

As people have already mentioned, it was made by Colin Satchell, and is a lovely made piece of kit. Comparable in price to a longman/jenvy item too, with a bit more length.

Niice!

 

I don't really need length, because I will probably keep the throttle bodies but install a turbo in a "near" future

 

Thanks for your replies

Did you email me about my shortened GTI6 inlet? If so Colin done that also
