Bike Throttle Bodies On My 8v

[Guest Johnthefish]

Does anyone know where I can get a manifold for my pug?

 

I want to fit Bike TB's to my 8v 1.9 the only problem I can't find a suitable manifold does anyone out there know where I can get one, how i can make one or get one made ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am going through this process at the moment. What I intend to do is modify the Mangoletti manifold that I recently bought. I am going to get a machine shop to open out the inside of the manifold to about ten mm deep, this will create a recess for the tb to sit in. I am then going to put an o ring on the recess on the tb which will make it airtight. The tb will be held in place with three grub screws that I will need to drill and tap into the manifold.

Hope that makes some sense.

I got one made for my TU3m by Bogg Bros -01944 738 234. Phone and speak to Steve,I sent him my mc itb's and he made it to suit my bodies even put a servo take off on. Very well made piece of kit, I think he'll even build them up with samco type hosing as well but check first.

I was lucky in that the TU3m has the injector holes in the head so I got away with using the std fuel rail.

You could maybe send him a spare fuel rail and see if he can weld the bosses on to the inlet manifold to the same spacings ?

Cheers-

Let me know what they can do and how much. Just incase I cant do what I propose above.

[Guest Johnthefish]

How much was the Mangoletti manifold where can I get one if it's cheaper might try taking that route myself!!

 

Cheers John

cant see that working with them held on with grub screws!!!,my carbs have go a very sort length of hosing between mani and carbs so they can move,might be wrong though!!

They are held in the recess that I am going to create. The grub screws are just a securing method.

[dodsworth_gti 11]

yeah supposes that would work,but surely it would not like the viberation and movemnt from the engine,and shake thinks loose on the tb??

Nah itll probably be ok, you only really need to worry about vibration with carbs as it froths the fuel..

 

You could always be adventurous and make one, I made one for my carbs, theres a thread in misc technical somewhere.. It was a bit fo a pain to do, but saved me about 70 quid and a 5 week wait on a bogg one.
