#1: Gti 180 throttle bodies install Author: Hawkesfire, Location: Stockton On TeesPosted: Thu Oct 24, 2013 3:55 am ---- Hi
Just converting my car to run a 180 motor NA for my next race then will fit the supercharger over the winter.
Where is the best place to buy an inlet manifold for my throttle bodies as the only place i can find is Spooks at £250 which is a lot of money for this?
Also what do i do with the oil holes on the head that go into the manifold is it ok to just block these up with the new manifold as it looks to be the oil return for the head?
Also what will i do with the oil pipe that runs to the sump?
Cheers
marty

No you cannot just block those holes off as it pressurises the head. I had them connected to the hose into the sump but have found that they dont actually pump much oil out. I think they are more like vents for the head.
The oil into the sump hose needs to be kept as from what I have found the oil cannot return back to the sump quick enough. It seems to pump a lot of oil out of the outlet on the cam cover and so i have connected both to a vented catch tank.
