Some ideas ive seen and been debating
From samba


Custom, like this suby


CB intakes

[vdubjim]

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

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

[vdubjim]

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......
