[cupra_matt]

I haven't got any directions as yet. will get them of Barnes.

Iam going with him as he needs a mechanic with him.

[The MoffMeister]

sorry to hear that matt really am any help just ask fella

 

[StanTheMan]

for a grand id be getting a custom mani made and mount it over the gearbox

 

[Craig!]

JBS have made the manifolds but not the DP's so you'd have to go down there with the car once all mocked up for them to make you a DP.

Why not drop Bill a PM regarding his equal length ones?

i'm a french bay and i don't understand why do you change your manifold???

because a i buy the same kit of you

 

[m0rk]

your steering rack is on the 'wrong' side, so there's no problem with the downpipe on your car

 

[The MoffMeister]

haha wrong side the proper side is right right right lol

 

[rody100]

i'm a french boy and i don't understand why do you change your manifold???

because i have bought the same kit of you

and I have keep the ATP manifold

 

[nogutsnoglory]

Because you drive on the other side of the road, your steering wheel is on the other side of the car thus giving you more clearance. So therefore the same manifold will fit on yours as the steering rack doesnt get in the way.

brake servo also

Matt is fitting a proper turbo which has a T25 flange and will therefore not fit the atp manifold. He had to buy a mani to fit the T25 flange which unfortunately directed the turbo to the bulkhead which proved to be too tight.

 

[cupra_matt]

Well, its official, iam ordering my a JBS equal length manifold toomorrow. Only bad point is it will take 2 - 3 weeks to come, and they dont have a jig for ibiza MK3 DP.

Also just be looking on garrett website and my version of the GT2871R can flow 475 BHP. hmmmm dunno about that.

So hopefully diff will turn up so i can do that, still plenty to do.

 

[Fenn]

how much lag do you think it will have?

i'm thinking of using one of these on my mk2 20vt with a 1.9 bottom end.

 

[cupra_matt]

I think with 1.9 it will be fine.

Iam staying 1.8 so slightly laggier, but it will be pulling hard from 3500 i would think.

 

[Craig!]

You taking your car down to JBS for the DP? Mike said to me awhile back that if I got the manifold, got everything fitted then brought the car down to them he'd sort the manifold out.

 

[Fenn]

thanks for that. i'll be watching this thread as things progress.

good luck with it all.

Yeah he said the same to me, but how do i get my car there with no DP and exhaust, remember i live 10 miles south of the scottish border.

Its all a big hassle, but if doing this kinda thing was easy everyone would do it

At least i have a manifold solution.

 

[h17och]

as i said to you in text mate, im now pissed of as your getting equal length

pleased you are getting somewhere tho!

ps expect more lag

 

[DPJ]

Yeah he said the same to me, but how do i get my car there with no DP and exhaust, remember i live 10 miles south of the scottish border.

...............

Would it be worth getting it trailered down, or moved by a recovery firm Matt? Prices sometimes aren't too bad....

 

[Craig!]

It might not be as expensive as you think, we once bought a smashed VR6 for a conversion and found a local guy who does recovery and also will do pick ups, we went along with him on the 220mile round trip and it only cost £100!!!

Phone about, failing that a solid tow bar and a friend with a large diesel!!
