hi iv found a company called black forest industries that sell a inlet manifold for ida webers for the 8v an 16v !! :drool:
how easy/hard would this conversion be ??
i persume it would clear up the engine bay a bit i.e wires n air box ??
has anybody else done this before to a mk3 n maybe point me in the right direction :smiley:
cheers del

Fitting carbs is a backward step plus on a non crossflow 8v do not work that well due to being above the exhaust.
-
Yup carbs are so last century.
-
i have access to several engines (m8 has a garage full of em ) and just trying to gain some ideas
so would the 16v be a better option engine wise ??
carbs last century yes !! but have you ever heard twin or single idas roar :evil:

Yup, induction noise is the only benefit though. :smiley:

It is really the only benefit, injection systems have come on a long way these days, carbs need a lot of tweaking to stay in tune.

IDA or downdraft webbers are a lot better on a counterflow 8v than sidedrafts, but a crossflow head with sidedrafts works better again
only problem is the MOT you arnt going to get a mk3 past the emissions test with big webbers ( or littel ones )
ITBS are the only way your going to have no mot bother and the noise
