the best solution is to get a crossflow head and then dcoe’s. If i was doing this again (and hadnt have found my kit) thats what I would have done. This soln allows even better access to nice cold air and a reduction of the intake temp. Easy to do these days too. You will be lucky to get all of the componants that ive collected, as it took over 3 years to do and a lot of badly phrased German. Im just an idiot to myself and do things the hard way! My brother also has the same kit as me but the parts are rare even in Germany
Dont bother with dcoe on a regular head as it wont breath and therefore wont perform. There is a lot of material on the net about this being a less favourable conversion. However, you could fabricate a manifold and fit what you like- throttlebodies, or a host of carbs, or even a dirty great big carb and no balancing issues
tids a shame a jetta has to pay the price, but we dont know what state the jetta was in and i bet the person has no idea of the rarity
still….no excuse when there are plenty of haldex aroundHeres a couple of pics Ive found
Facet red-top fuel pump mounted to the rear arch skin
Filterking fuel regulator. I chose this glass one for the retro look and I also managed to get a mini VDO fuel pressure guage
This is the remodelled dash surround i made a many years ago and then got it covered in leather. Ive relocated the Syncro badge that was originally placed on the glovebox
I received the earlier syncro wing badges today and as soon as I opened the box, I knew they were larger than the G60 ones! I really ddidnt know what to do. I put one on the car and walked from side to side, but I was still unsure. So I went and had a cup of tea
When I came back, I realised that they werent really out of scale, so Ive kept them. Got some 5mm spacers so Ill get those on as soon as Ive bought a new trolley jack. Its a bugger to get wheels on when gravity and a leaky valve are doing their best to thwart you [
!]it was a Lynx manifold fitted with a single Weber DCOE 45. I dont recommend that approach though unless you have a Mk1. Look at the hole I cut etc etc
ta for the props. The manifold and airbox are from a german tuning company. Im just keeping things under my hat for now, but there are clues in the thread if you fancy doing some sherlock
ive been playing today and fitted a couple of the wheels- only a couple you say! What a lazy git! Well, its been a mixed bag today. Firstly the wheels look soooooooooooo bloomin good, but the front wheels catch the brake caliper [
]
I need to buy some slimline calipers to make the clearance. I cant put spacers on as the wheels are ET28 and already dangerously close to my standard arch’s. Im aso going to have a think about tyre sizes later too. Im using 195/50/15 as thats what I already had from previous alloys. Although Im thinking about 185/45/15.
I also added the badges to the rear of the car.
what carb(s) are you running diamondhell?
It might also be worth looking at loosing the rallye manifold and having a complete fresh start. Does the rallye manifiold hinder the options?
