inlet

HI all the guy I bought my car from has a PA FMIC fitted I realised the other day that it has black samcos for the FMIC running all round except for one pipe it is the pipe which feeds from the FMIC onto the inlet manifold - still the horrible standard Seat flexible one and it also...

Hi. I'm looking for some ideas of costs from you guys. I have a 2002 Leon Cupra 180 with a stage 1 remap taking the brake up to 210. I left my car in for service today with a highly recommended, independent mechanic near my area in Dublin. The car has had the Engine Diagnostic warning light...

How restrictive is the inlet pipe on an ABF? Ive seen it has the big recess in it for the brake reservoir so would it be beneficial to swap it for a more free flowing pipe like a samco jobbie or is it going to make naff all difference to the car? Id only do it if i were to notice a...

Right guys, after a bit of help knocking some questions out! Ive put my AYP engine into my mk1 golf and have it idling but ive come up with a few issues. I have no inlet hose to my turbo, only the metal inlet elbow which is a pretty poor design. Ideally i want to get a 90 elbow going to...

This weekend im hoping to do a few bits to the car including polishing my inlet mani and rocker cover. just wondering if anybody has any hints or tips on the best way to remove the 2. Is it a hard task to complete? Is there anything that is likly to go wrong that could end up in a big repair...

Baiscly does the inlet mani have a gasket? The reason i ask is that if the weather holds out in the morning im wanting to whip it off and get it polished up, I dont want to remove it and find theres a gasket and not have a new one to put on. Cheers.

just finished polishing my inlet manifold, it has come up quite good considering i only used a tyre buffer and some t-cut! saved me some money anyway!

Ive recently heard that if you swap the inlet manifold (50mm inlet) on a 2.0 16v ABF Cupra to a 42mm inlet manifold this will increase your acceleration?? Does any 1 know if this is true? Cheers

Hi peeps. Got a quote of £25 and £20 to polish up my charge pipe and inlet manifold on my BAM LCR. I am going to attempt to remove both parts myself. Im confident about the charge pipe as this should be easy, just awquard at the back! (correct?!) Has anyone got any advice or a...

is there an easy way to measure inlet temps? can it be done using the CC display? tried searching, but could only find reference to there being a sensor, but not that it can display the temp somehow. can it be measured with vagcom? cheers.

Hi guys im after an uprated inlet manifold and have seens bils one and jbs's, i think i remember seeinf bills results from his one and seemed pretty good and was wondering if anyone knows of jbs's version.. Wanting to get one this friday and would like to know from people who know or have...

May sound daft... but would a 20vt manifold bolt directly to the head of a 2L 16V ABF engine? I always thought the 20VT ibiza was a 5cylinder engine? am i wrong totally... i just trawled through pics of engine bays and all the ones i saw looked to be 4 cyl. Thanks there is potential for...

Just got my manifold back from the powder coaters, got some new inserts for the injectors to go into, do they need to be glued in??? please help ian

I want to take off my inlet manifold to polish it. I think it would look wikkid. Is this an easy job?? Don’t look too hard. All I can see me needing is a new gasket and the torque settings for the bolts. Has anyone done this? How hard is it to take the injectors out?

<geek mode ON> While I had various bits off my car the other week, I wanted to have a look inside my turbo inlet, but couldn't get my head far enough down to see. So I took a couple of close-up photos with the camera so I could see what it looked like. I presume they look normal ? :shrug...

Hi just been browsing on youtube and came across this. Seems like a way off having a bov on the ibiza engine. Just wondered if this would work or would cause faults. Might be a way of having a loud bov as alot of people would like...
