Gti-6 Manifold For Carbs

[sy84 2]

hi i need a manifold to fit my 45's on to my gti-6 engine will a mi16 manifold be the same,all the one's listed on ebay are for the mi16 engine not gti6

[Anthony 1,003]

Yes, same fitment.

 

Does seem like a somewhat backwards step putting carbs on a '6 though...

indeed, I think the last one i heard of made no more power, but drank significantly more fuel

 

do the right thing and save up for an ecu IMO

i got the carbs cheap of a m8 of mine as throttle boddies work out quite pricey,surely with some decent mapable ignition (omex 200) i should see a good power increase?

I don't know whos that was but mine made 180 bhp with carbs and dta and was quicker down the straights than standard gti6 engine 205s and a tb mi16, O and it was better on fuel than my road going 306 gti6.

cool iv been speaking to tom airey from airey tunning,there based in hampshire so not far from me and been playing with carbs for years so was gona get him to set it up for me has anyone head of them? i know throttle boddies are the way forward but im on a bit of a buget and you can't beat the sound of carbs

Keyword there is the DTA though, with proper ignition management i can see it wholly being worthwhile,. Anthony and Mei were referring to running a '6 on carbs done the backwards/monkey way of using a dizzy adaptor and 8v ignition.

[sy84 2]

has anyone used airey tunning? dwn in hamphire

[Baz 421]

Never heard of them, Miles may have as he's in that neck of the woods!

Never used them, Too far away and more into there older stuff, The other place I thought of was Janspeed as they have a RR and Burlen Fuel Services next to them, Speak to Jon, used to be on here

[sy84 2]

will get in touch with janspeed,is omex a good management to got for? at £350 i fort its a fair price

[sy84 2]

i just rang skip brown up to get a price on fitting my carbs and setting up the woman on phone there is telling me the manifold i have brough wont fit?

[dcc 855]

*sigh*

 

You have bought a 16v XU manifold, for a Mi16 engine.

 

I know for a fact this will fit a gti6. I moved a manifold from a mi16 to a gti6. AFAIK, all XU 16v Inlet's are interchangible.

[rallyeash 155]

wouldnt bother to go to skip brown. Manifold will deff fit too. ive physically done it.

[sy84 2]

cool thanks, janspeed are quite close to me does anyone know if there any good for setting up carbs?

[16v205 9]

The manifold will fit but check the dowel on the head locates first before bolting it down.

[welshpug 1,661]

there is no dowel on the gti6

At least Janspeed have Burlen Fuel services by them, If you looking at traveling that far then there's Aldon's in Brum or Whilshires Garage's in Cambridge
