could any one tell me if a manifold for a 16v mk3 golf fit my 97 16v ibiza i know its the same engine (abf) but don't know if it will line up with the rest of exhaust??
hey i can buy a manifold for a mk3 golf gti but not to sure if it will fit trying to find out. see my bro is in to his v w and he said to me to buy one for a mk3 golf gti but we are not to sure if it will fit or not.
I suspect he's talking about the same one I was discusing with m0rk the other day. Raceland make a 2.0 16v 4 branch for the Mk3 Golf ABF. But the opinion was it wasn't going to go in without knocking on the chassis and that was after taking a big hammer to the car.
Raceland one will be more than likely for LHD Topgear/TSR one wont fit without it hitting the bulkhead - will need VT competition engine mounts to stop it shaking to bits - plus its a pile of poo anyway.
Seriously biting the bullet and having an equal length 4-2-1 specially built for mine for ~£600
mk2 golf gti 16v 4-to-1 is available from Miltec and awesome gti - and they fit 1.8 16V's (adl's). I know this as I have one on my 2L short block. Dont know how well it would fit to rest of std system though as I had my system made to fit it.
Stu - 4-2-1- wont work properly with your car - 4-1 is the way to go. Who's making it for you ? (there are very good and VERY bad examples out there.....)
tube torque = mark gosling = good when he's sober......
jp exhausts are the other outfit - 'manifolds' rick is the man to deal with - they made my system, nice job, top outfit, 50ft from where I used to live
for manifolds though, mike the pipe, tony law or simpson race exhausts (simpson are in london, perhaps the best in the buisness, probably 800 notes)
i'm having this problem.abf 16v'er manifold is cracked! bad news cant find one either. 4-1 that is? went my local scrappy to try find one off a golf 16v but this one was cracked in the same place! n e 1 know if all std ones have weak spot? may just find a std one as better then a cracked one!
