pro3mark Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 No news as of yet, believe one has been developed, just checking the application of the item.I'm sure there will be a post on here once the final testing has been done.

Kam Racing Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 We did find a manifold with correct ports and bolt spacing but upon testing it we've found its too tall to fit in the bay with tb's so we're getting one custom made ourselves..

Daviegti Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 i have a set of this r1 itb and manifold setup to fit 1.4 and 1.6 16v engines going spare as im using carbs nowHow much??Heard people saying bike carbs are no good but just had a mk2 polo with bike bodies go through my work and seemed okay to me, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grungeisdead Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 ive got a mk2 polo with 1.4 16v engine on bike carbs, i bought the lupo gti and throttle bodies with a view to run it on aftermarket management as there is already a 60-2 trigger wheel and crank sensor. after 250 for the itb/mani setup, megasquirt can be had for around 200 quid and then you'd need it mapping prices vary dependant on place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help on this would be great as im wanting to do this conversion so much but with thoughts of buying a house the £1600 jenvey setup is a long way away, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grungeisdead Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 not ran the bike "bodies" but i imagine with mapping it will run very well throughout the rev range as you would have a suitable ignition map to suit,my 1.4 16v pulls from 2k all the way to the red line without any signs of stopping, its got such a linear torque delivery, but it leaning out top end due to the main jets being too small (142/144). you cant really map the setup im using, as its using a mk2 polo dizzy and ignition amp/coil but i could rip it out, stick in megasquirt and map the ignition that way giving me more room to play.
