T16 Manifold-another Way?

[peter 20]

I was looking at an old post of a 2.0 8v turbo and among the pictures of the 300 ish brake engine there is a picture of what looks like a home made t16 manifold,but what caught my ey is that it actualy looks like a gti6 manifold shortend and then a where th downpipe would go it goes to the turbo.

 

I looks like it would flow relativly well and be quite cheap to make.

 

There is a picture in this section of the thread

its custom made "Nej, den er costummade. vist nok lavet af skovbamsen."

 

looks a bit big and clumpy compared to this one which also has equal length runners -

thats a lovely looking charge cooler build there too:P

[peter 20]

Im not convinced it looks alot like a gti6 manifold or a 309 gti16 manifold that has been modified.

 

Ill see if i can find a pic of a gti6 manifold so you can compare

 

and if it isnt maybe you could modify a gti6 manifold!

 

here

 

Theres one here.

 

Can anyone else see the simelaritly?

it says right there its custom made!!!!

[peter 20]

Yes it may do however, there is a 1.9 gti on ebay that SAYS it does the 1/4 in 12 seconds do you belive that aswell?????

[welshpug 1,626]

trust me, the welding would be rather tidier than that on an O.E item!

[peter 20]

but the only welding on that manifold is where it could have been modified

I see what your saying there... but the only reaseon they MAY have used a gti6 manifold would be for prefab'd bends... the flange is not the same, and theres a verylarge amount of weld thats not from factory. imo youd be better off starting from scratch and bending new tube to make a manifold like that.

[peter 20]

Very true but the tubes are already pre bent for you and iirc the stud pattern on a gti6 is not that much different

I would say it's a 306 git manifold mated with a 1.9 Mi16 head-flange.

Then welded piping onto the outlet of git manifold and to the turbo.

I'd agree - Some modification of the GTi-6 pipes where the $hitty welding is....
