inlet manifold

[dirtydave 0]

hey peeps, ive got and obd2 vr6 golf and im after changeing the inlet manifold to an obd2 2.9 vr6 corado inlet, best place to find one? i was sold one but im sure its an obd1 gutted help!!!!!!!

[binliner 0]

All Corrado ones will be OBD1... the only car that came with a 2.9 OBD2 (afaik) is a late golf syncro

[daleyboyVR6 6]

All Corrado's are obd1 , mines a l994 but has a lot of obd 2 parts on it, the only thing i can think of is that maybe the throttle body wont fit cos golf and rado TB are different so you may need a rado TB to fit. This is from what ive read on this site but someone with more practical experience may have more accurate info for you................... :-p

oh right i didnt know that about the corado, dam pants,

[dirtydave 0]

now do i get a 2.9 tb to match or what do most people do in this area? oh and thankyou peeps

I have a part polished, modified OBD2 manifold (modded by removing the chambers like the Corrado one). It may be for sale for the right price...

[dirtydave 0]

well then give me a price mate

I don't really know what it's worth! Once I get some feedback on another thread I'll let you know if I'm willing to sell and for what price. Cheers!

didnt think you could open out the hambers in the inlet manifold on a odb2 as the under side its jus a casting mark the make it fill the space on top of the engine if you no wat i mean?

and it thought you could buy an adapter plate so you can fit an odb2 throtle body to a odb1 manifold ?

[daleyboyVR6 6]

You may be on to something with the adaptor thing ive heard that as well would an obd2 2.8 engine work ok with a 2.9 obd1 TB ?.............. :-p

I don't quite know what you're trying to saying but see this thread: http://www.volksport.org/forums/index.php?act=Print&client=printer&f=5&t=18690

i was told that it wouldnt work as the obd1 tb is not electronic like the obd2 tb

the inlet can be done its just time and patience, ya have to cut out the main restrictive part and smoothe out all the ridges, and get a plate welded over the area

Yeah I may have ago over the xmas break when too much time with the family sends me to the brink and I shall have to retire to the garage, and on spotting my spare mani on the bench, ill drunkenly reach for the disc cutter, think better of it, but get up early the next morning and get going on it hahaha

All though as ive got a charger it wont do much different really I doubt

[philbatesvr6 0]

yea but every little counts lol

[gav_113 0]

ive looked into this.. and if ur running a 2.9 mani on a 2.8.. u wont benefit and u will prob lose torque.. im waiting til my 2.9 bottom end is fitted.

[dirtydave 0]

but it gives you alot ,more air flow to the 1st and 6th chamber. that gota be a good thing????

[Phat VR6 3]

Thinner/ longer inlet track more torque, Wider and shorter inlet track more BHP

Thinner/ longer inlet track more torque' date=' Wider and shorter inlet track more BHP
