INlet manifold?

[GavG60]

I have a mk2 16v, the inlet manifold on it is from a SEAT. is this normal? I have just bought a 50mm VW manifold to replace it, as i like it to all be VW.

Would the SEAT one be a modification? or a scrap yard replacement?

Cheers

Check the engine code stamped on the engine block, should be a "KR" engine. The upper part of the manifold could have been changed for a Seat one as they use a similar engine (what size is it and what throttle body?). 50mm is the way to go on a 16v.

The seat one is the same style as the MK3 16V one.

Thats correct the 16v engine in the seat ibiza is the ABF engine.

Indeed

My reason for the throttle body question .

Cool, thanks for the info, will check it out.

Stupid question, where will I find the stamp on the block?

has anyone put the 50mm inlet manifold on instead of the 42mm one?

what difference does it make

[GavG60]

and how do you tell the difference between the 50mm and 42mm? is it written on it? if not what do you measure??  

[GavG60]

err....I've just read on a different forum that the 42mm manifolds were better for performance?

Anyway, just bought a 2nd hand one from www.findapart.co.uk for ?45

then walked into Volkspares and got sold another one for ?15......

like buses.....
