Title: Manifolds for MS230 Post by: neil68 on March 27, 2017, 05:56:04 am What is everyone using for manifolds with the MS230 heads and Weber IDAs?
Does anyone have any tips for porting the (CB Performance) CE manifolds to work better with MS230 heads? I bolted on a pair of CE manifolds, back when I received my MS230 heads a few years ago, as those were the only manifolds that I could find. However, I have since been advised that there is some porting that can be done to make CE's flow better. It's not really feasible to send the heads and manifolds from Canada to Sweden for Johannes to work on them, so I'd like to try to clean up the manifolds myself. Any tips would be appreciated! Thank you. Title: Re: Manifolds for MS230 Post by: Erlend / bug66 on March 27, 2017, 08:48:37 am There are a better set available than the new CB CE manifolds. Old (Bugpack) Superflow manifolds have a nicer bend to it.. IIRC

I have one new one spare if you can find another :) cheers Richie Title: Re: Manifolds for MS230 Post by: leec on March 27, 2017, 22:20:35 pm These any good?

His ad is not clear. Title: Re: Manifolds for MS230 Post by: ibg on March 30, 2017, 02:32:01 am He didn't confirm, I just took a punt.
when I get them I'll clean them and see how different they are to the CB's and if there are any markings. I'm curious to see how well they match the port as well Title: Re: Manifolds for MS230 Post by: hotstreetvw on March 31, 2017, 03:56:46 am I think they are bugpack. The CB require a long center bolt because the flange is like an inch thick.

Doesnt Johannes have manifolds? Title: Re: Manifolds for MS230 Post by: neil68 on April 01, 2017, 03:00:36 am Thanks, Darren. I was about to ask you about this. I'll send a pm later.
