ORB 227 1 Cars Posted January 23, 2008 So I rang Bogg's, and they said it would be early Julember 4013 before I could get a manifold let alone a RR slot. So I built my own and to be honest, it is not great and it looks s*ite, but it works. Then, I was told about Shenpar. Paid for it and next day it arrived.

Batfink 201 Posted January 24, 2008 can you mount the carbs directly onto the manifold. You really dont want to use silicon hosing.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peetypug 5 Posted January 24, 2008 i agree ^^ get some of the standard r1 rubbers from a bike breakers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M_R_205 5 1 Cars Posted January 24, 2008 i had 2 lots of the silicone hose and both sets disintegrated, the manifold i got of shenpar was cheap and quick but not too good, didnt fit the carbs well and the servo take off was 1, in a bad place, and 2, the wrong size! i hope yours is a better fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ORB 227 1 Cars Posted January 24, 2008 I offered it all up and seems to be the correct spacing and angle for the carbs. I also have the rubbers to connect the manifold. I paid £200 for it, and it seems to be decent quality and fit. Contact Shenpar on www.shenpar.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ORB 227 1 Cars Posted January 29, 2008 All fitted now, and I must say, it goes on well, beautifully spaced and clears the engine mount nicely as I was worried about this. Will get a pic later if anyone is interested. Also, Will be listing my old home brew inlet for sale on Ebay later for anyone wanting it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ORB 227 1 Cars Posted January 29, 2008 Here is a pic. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/orb...81/P1240011.jpg I really must clean up the bay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSarty 90 1 Cars Posted January 30, 2008 Gonna be breathing gulps of hot air being that close to the rad. On Des Developments' web site are some nice photos of a 205 conversion including throttlebodies and a shaped metal cold air scoop running over the rad to feed the inlets. Might be worth a shnurgle?

ORB 227 1 Cars Posted January 30, 2008 Yeah, my plan is not complete! I am going to build up a custom Air Box with cold air feed incorperated, or I was going to go with a scoop/vent in the bonnet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dream Weaver 2 Posted January 30, 2008 can you mount the carbs directly onto the manifold. You really dont want to use silicon hosing.. Ran mine on silicon clamps for approaching 2 years now and they are fine, still nice and supple and no issues whatsoever. Certainly didn't affect the RR result anyway.

paul_portsmouth 3 Posted February 18, 2008 the quality of that looks way down on a bogg one i had one made for my old car in 4 weeks from them cost me 236 for a manifold and rejet( no on a rr) see the piccys these were before my 205 so looked like this fittd up ( they only had my standard inlet and the carbs to work from) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
