Title: 2-0 & 2-3 inlet manifolds 16v Post by ro284 on Feb 18th, 2012, 10:19am I have a possible alloy inlet manifold for my 2-3 in place of the plastic one, some guy i met has an engine which he does not know if it is 8v or 16v. is there an obvious difference in them to check before he takes it off? i wonder if the inlet ports are different! is it a difficult job to modify the 2-0 manni? also can someone tell me what an m.o.t. should cost please? Thanks Bob |
