Manifold Quiz

Name that manifold.
What Alfa engine does it belong to?

[105gta]

Late 2.0 injected nord engine. Series 3 spider etc...

Got any photos of the entire manifold that includes the fuel injection rail, throttle bodies etc?

[MD]

It's not this, I know that much.

MD, your last photo is of Spica mechanical which had 4 individual butterflies.
The manifold you showed first is the later Bosch Motronic system, for which the intake & plenum is basically the same as a 75 TwinSpark, just a bit different in shape to fit under the bonnet & engine bay. Large single butterfly.

Thanks Vin, found the sucker in the end. It belongs to the 75 series 1.8 L turbo engines. It does not have an integrated thermostat housing and uses that multi branched housing used in the twin spark motor for the purpose.

I need some parts for it and it has been difficult to track it down so  I can make a start.

End of quiz.

Hi MD, here's a couple of pics of a series 3 spider in the workshop. Same head section of the manifold. It's a rather messy setup with the L jet injection.

It's been a bit of very useful fun. Thanks Ben.

We have an original 1.8 Turbo motor at work complete, I can take some photos if you need.

[MD]

Thank you Mick.  I would appreciate that.
I have this manifold and I would like to kit it up with what is missing on it. EB Spares have already told me that there are no new replacement parts for it except for the thermostat which is common to the twin spark engine.

I can see that I will probably have to make the 90* coolant bend and the fuel rail. Always the same, do a little different, get ready for some pain.

What parts are you after? I used an L-jet spider inlet manifold for my EFI conversion but I think I've still got all the leftover parts (injectors, fuel rail, plenum, throttle body etc) hiding on a shelf somewhere...

festy,

I'll send you a PM.
