:( Dahlback manifold does'nt fit MK3 Ibiza

[m0rk]

doesn't look like an ibiza engine bay either - so I guess it's just a stock image

Ar$e! Bad luck Bill. I was thinking about getting one of these too!

I'm sure there was someone else making replacement inlet manifolds, and IIRC they were quite a bit smaller. Can't remember who though. I'll have to look it up.

it pissed me off.
waiting them returning next week to sort it out.
not impressed.

at least the evoshield worked well. LOL small consolation to a wasted afternoon and ££ for nothing.

plan B then... but now i need a poxy manifold again... just sold on the largeport i acquired!! feck feck feck!

 

[BenS1]

So you've not got any inlet manifold at the moment? ie. the Ibiza is off the road?

Before you make your own, do a little more searchning around.... I'm sure someone on here linked to some other company making good replacement manifolds.

no mate still on the road.. smallport manifold now on same engine.
new engine needs largeport manifold... dahlback would be portable to largeport (just) but std one would'nt so easily.. 30% wider inlet ports.

Hmmm, so I guess I've got the same problem when I put my largeport head on, ie. I need a new inlet manifold?

Does my largeport head come with a largeport intake manifold, or is it head only without a manifold? I know that the inlet manifold would be the wron way around, but it might be possible to move my chargecooler around a bit and relocate the washer bottle on the other side (And relacate the battery to the boot)?

Jabba suggested using my current inlet manifold.... ie. take the one from the largeport, and cut it and weld mine to it! Would that work?! Doesn't sound ideal to me?

Rather small picture but you can see a simialr manifold on the 1.8T in the Skoda WRC fabia...

Must be working on the same principles as the Dahlback manifold.

Running a 2.0L block aswell

And it looks likes it been lowered in the bay, canted forward and moved back and the induction comes from the opposite side.

do u think they sent u a 210/225 S3 mannifold?? Case of "it points the same way so send him that"

I had an AGU largeport manifold which I was going to cut and shut to make it right handed.. No largeport manifolds in Ibiza/TT right handed orientation.
You would need to duct your pipework to the drivers side to use an AGU type manifold.. The head is just a head m8. No manifold.
Cut and shut or fabricate all new.

They only have 2 types. right handed and left handed all smallport.. which they port to largeport (or say you can) to suit application.

I wonder if the AGU one has a larger internal volume than the ibiza/225 one? If it does it would be worth cutting and shutting with a right handed one, if it doesn't (or not significantly larger) maybe it's just worth porting a right handed one.

Then again, probably just starting from scratch.

I imagine it wouln't be beyond the wit of man to fabricate from the LH manaifol a RH one. Chop and thread a ally tube in one and and chop the existing yube an weld a plate over it (tapping a hole for the vac pipe). Just a temp sender after that isn't it?

Sounds about right, it would just be a bit frankenstein.

Another manifold rears its head. Not the cad at the top, but the picture below. If that's the stock TB position, then the plenum looks to be lower than the dahlback. Wrong TB orientation though...

Also mention on vortex of up-and-coming ABD intake manni, which looks like modded stock one...

Edit: Any comments on that post I made about Polishing & Porting the stock one?

 

[BenS1]

Interesting stuff. Do you know what manifold that is in that picture?

Is porting the standard manifold an option? How much bigger are the intake ports on the largeport head? (I've got a largeport head sitting in the dining room, but no smallport to compare it to.).

No, someone asked him in that thread but he's not reponded yet, and I don't recognise the logo on it. Edit: Does it say "L-Sport" ?

I think bill said 30% bigger, so I guess if you're fitting a largeport you'd really need a largeport manifold, then you'd have to get it rehanded (unless you can swap your piping around?).

I'm not looking at going largeport, just wondering if for us sub-300bhp boys if there's any potential in flowing the standard manifold.

 

[Feel]

I think it does say "L-Sport":

my head.. for info http://badger-5.com/bin/ported-smallport-ibiza.jpg ported smallport. and here http://badger-5.com/bin/ported-smallport-ibiza2.jpg
largeport has straight runners to both side valves, with no curve to get at em.. same height just a wider port.

exhaust port also measure 1mm larger diameter

How much was it bill?
