Exhaust Manifold

[CCollier300571 1]

Hiii. I wonder if anyone can shed some light on a few things. I own a 89 205GTI 1.9. I have no idea what engine type it is.

 

 

1. How do you tell the difference in the types?

 

2. The exhaust on it is a two piece system with an olive fitting back box. If the system was swapped could the slip on system be fitted (are the hangers in the same place) ?

 

3. Im looking at a second hand magnex manifold and having a stainless system made to fit it, but are the exhaust ports the same spacing on all 1.9s and 1.6s?

 

I think thats all the issues at the mo. Taaa

1, look at the system, if the centre section is welded to the middle silencer its a phase 2 system, also the rear box is the olive type fit on later systems as well.

 

2 yes a complete phase1 system can be fitted to a phase1.5/2, not that you would want to as the phase2 system is slightly larger bore and gives better torque.

 

3 yes.

CHEERS. How do you tell the difference in the types of 1.9 engine? I believe there is a couple of different types fitted.

IIRC there are 2 types....

 

The difference i seen was one manifold was braced and one wasn't....

 

Prob to help in stopping them cracking...

Theres a few types of engine but all the manifolds are the same part numbers throughout, though with many minor modifications like webbing and bracing

I sold one a couple of weeks ago ( i know this really helps you but if you need anything else im in chesterfield too

Cheers. Ive now got a stainless manifold and back box, i just need a center section making. Has anyone had much problem removing the 8 nuts from the manifold to head? Are they prone to snapping? What are they like to remove from the head after snapping?

there quite akward.

 

Ive never had one snap on me, but ive had the stud come out with the bolt still on it in the past.

[CCollier300571 1]

That would be a good thing. Ive got new studs to go in if they come out but i wouldnt risk snapping them to put new studs in.
