mk1 vtr manifold on mk2 ????

  1. #1
    Sorry if its been covered but searched and couldnt find anything.

    i want to de cat my mk2 vtr wih cat in the mani. BUt i dont want to spend lots of money on a stainless manifold etc at this time.

    Will a mk1 vtr mani fit on ? if not is there any other options ?

    cheers

    i looked into this a little while back, iirc there might be issues with the oil filter (but it might just fit)

    cheers mate, anyone else got any ideas ?

    shouldn't be an issue with the standard manni on a Mk1 as it would be thinner because thers no cat on it? cant be sure doh

    IIRC all 8v manifolds should fit all 8vs... and the same for 16v manifolds should fit regardless of phase.

    It just depends on the make i think as to whether the oil filter needs relocating (e.g. raceland)

    you will need the header and the downpipe and may have to move the oil filter so it doesnt melt on the down pipe

    hmmmmm, its just cause i want to decat my mk2 vtr but cant afford a manifold just now. so thats why im after a mk1 vtr mani to try it.

    worth a shot i supose.

    iv been thinking about this too, if the mk1 mani clears the oil filter on mk2's couldnt you just heatwrap it to be sure it doesnt melt it?

    i think the oil filter relocation thingy is quite cheap anyway so might be worth while just getting that aswell i guess.

    thats what im going to do i think.

    citreon do the bits o u can put the filter like the mark one.
    The Oil Filter Insert - 1103A7 @ £2.07 excl VAT
    The MK1 Oil Filter - 1109N3 @ £2.95 excl VAT
    direct from citreon, should be able to fit manifold no worries.

    manifold and downpipe in ok condition
  23. #23
    when you say ok condition is that good or fair ?
  24. #24
    what will puttin the mk 1 mani on do 2 performance and will it be much louder seen as its a standard part?
  25. #25
    will change the sound as theres no cat in the system. as for performance its still restrictive so dout you will see any gain really. im just doing it cause my cat is done and i want a decat.
  26. #26
    yhh thats what i thought mite consider doin it 4 the noise or just save up for the janspeed one with sports cat from kam
