Title: inlet manifold 2.3

Hi, 2.3 inlet manifold, worth giving this another twirl. I think it would be easier getting hens teeth

Regards Kenboy

I have a 2.0 one Ken, I've never done it myself but i believe they can be made to fit..

The 2.0 Manifold fits without a problem. Everything stays the same, it only might be necessary to extend a few wires but it will work and it won't fail like the 2.3 plastic one :)

I thought you had to re-direct/join together a couple of vacuum pipes when fitting a 2.0 inlet manifold to a 2.3 ?

Also the air trunking is different....the 2.3 has one large pipe going to a large single barrelled butterfly throttle, & the 2.0 has a twin pipe going to a smaller barrelled twin butterfly throttle :)

Pipes are a straight swap Jonny :) We've be working hard for the past few days on this problem and there are several ways of fixing the 2.3 manifold using 2.0 parts that require quite a bit of tooling but you can do a straight swap extending some wiring :)
