Started polishing the outside of my ported manifold... what a nightmare!
but worth it?!



Is it worth the pain?...I bloody hope so!

Looks good, does the GK engine come with a manifold? cos you may find its better than that one...and thats a 1.0L one isnt it? (with the hole enlarged)

I was going to say, is that the GK manifold?

Looks well nice!

Cheers guys- ive done a bit of research and the GK manifold is the same as this- its of a mk2 golf MH 1.3. All ive done is port match the end of the runners so the transfer of gas and petrol will be smooth into the chambers rather than stepped- I havent bored the whole runners as it would affect the torque. The GK engines actually run pierburg 2e3s and standard manifolds i think, im getting it delivered next week So im putting my big old weber twinchoke on complete with a bored out unrestrictive base plate and k and n and hopefully that will make the most out of its 11.1 compression ratio

If the manifold doesnt fit it will be up for sale!!

manifold should fit no probs.

BLING BLING keep it up.

do you want to do my manifold, its smaller as its for my 40's

damn! so thats whats underneath all that limestone and moss

keep it up, looks great! just hope you've got a custom filter so it's not hidden under the binlid when you're done!

Thanks guys, Ive gotta be honest- I polished my rockercover and that was hard, but this is taking the p***! its just so intricate and hard to polish so a may have to turn your offer down mk2matt
And yes Tahrey1043 im gonna have it on show- this is the set up im gona use;

should look nice on full display, just got to get the exhaust rapped in white heat material.

Nice work Now, I hope you're going to polish that carb to match!

absolutelly! its gotta be matching! inlet/carb/k&n

Now -that- is going to be fiddly

you have to get some piccies up once you have done the lot dude

FINALLY;

some dude i was talkin to said take them spikes out from inside and you can gain 3-4bhp extra when you port your manifold

niiiiiice

those spikeys belong to the inlet heater dont they? so you'd cool your airflow to boot.... might make it a bugger to start between november and february though! nice and easy to get rid of them though, unbolt it and drop it out and then just get a sturdy hacksaw...
