Hey Guys - here are a few cell phone pic's of the new manifolds etc - nothing is welded yet and there is still alot of work to do including relocating the oil cooler (to the opposite side) and moving the breather (to the center of the fanhousing) There is a million other little details to work out like the breather pipes on the rocker covers but but its gonna be AWSOME, I just LOVE how SHORT the manifolds are |

do you know what the short manifolds will do to your power band?

i reckon lee's buggy has enough torque to cover up for the upwards shift.

I forgot to add I have a PAIR of these cool filters coming from Dave Rosique (thanks dude) as well as sometng else I am keeping secret (shhhhh Dave ) As for the "powerband" I have NO IDEA  with the single it had LOADS of torque and the power band was mainly between 2800rpm and 5300rpm - Any thoughts people  The manifolds are the same length as stock type3 manifolds so hopefully I won't have any "Problems" I am also bumping up the compression to 8.5:1  |

what type3 manifolds have is a thick black (rubberish) termal gasket between the carbs and maifolds. if you can have something like that i see no problems with short manifolds. and with those filters are you converting the manx to a unimog? another 1/10 for me there in the weight alone, let us not speak in the loss off performance   |

unimogs are great! my friend has one and i can't wait the day he takes me offroading in that thing. just make sure you wear the extra long fishermans pants. what tricks? you got me curious there. adjusting the trottle cable so it can open fully? and on a more seriuous not, i like that filter, but only on a buggy, maybe the DAS offraod bus, but no beetle. and if you find those spacers for DCNF's as well, let me know as i think the bowls evaporate on mine after i turn off the engine, leaving a big smell off fuel inside the car. |

see if you can find ceramic ones, these conduct heat the least. I use these on my IDA's.

Yeah unimogs are pretty cool, don't you remember there is one parked next door to me,And ys I know what you mean about the filters - they are a bit OTT (over the top!) but they look sooooooooooooo cooooooooooool I think you'll like my other little tricks (tires..... cough cough ) trust me guys the manx is gonna look superb next season, A couple more trophies I think I'll also have a lok for those spacers for you dude |

Don't think you'll get them to fit under the lid :/ At least it wouldn't in my car. And don't take the air cleaners off either, unless you want a serious fuel smell inside the car when you stomp on the throttle! |

Right guys a little update for ya - the heads have come off and I have measured the deck height and its .060/1.5mm - I have not measured the head cc yet but I suspect the CR will come out some where around 6.5/7.0:1. I am planning on bumping up the CR to 9.5:1 and fitting 1.25 ratio rockers as well as the carb conversion of course, So any hints and tips guys |
