Some ideas ive seen and been debating
From samba


Custom, like this suby


CB intakes

OK so, more brainstorming.

CB intake ends.
Exhaust pipe pipe
914 or similar center section with TB on it.
914/Bus center section:

So it might look something like this except without all the crap on it.

More out loud thinking....
this for a center section

How the TB would look mounted:

with a corrado or passat auto TB for tps. would have to measure clearence for engine lid though.

I just saw someone suggested a watercooled vanagone intake.....hmm might be better yet.
Head design where the endcasting bolts on is very much like a T1

T1

T4


water van

Looking good Jim! Somebody has to do the research. We All Might learn something!

Just trying to get all these ideas out before i forget them!

For more of a standard look...ITB's that include the injector bung. Much simpler & much $$ too.

those are nice, but like you said $!
Cb or webers look nice and are around 580 a pair.

So i found some watercooled bus manifolds today and tried them on the mock motor.

The intake ports are HUGE, easily fitting some D port etc modified heads. Due to the angle, they cannot be used on a T3 with stock tins. Ill be messing with them shortly to see how much cutting is feasible so i know if they are even useable at all. FOR SURE they wont work if you want to run the stock oil cooler.

On a brighter side, they look like with a modified set of tubes, the 'endcastings' would be great for high flow on a T1 upright motor vs mexibeetle ends.

Pics shortly......
