water manifold

[paulmac]

Hi can any1 confirm that a 3b or aby water manifold will fit on the aan engine,i want 2 change the radiator top hose position,many thanks paul

[Error404]

yup should fit no probs AFAIK

They may not cross as easily as some think. The PN for the 3B/ABY water "collector" manifold is 034 121 187 (as shown in the diagram below). The PN for the AAN water collector is 034 121 187 B, i.e. different. I suspect that there is a subtle difference based on the shape of the intake manifold and the need for one or the other to "dodge" some obstruction.

erm, nah the aby water manifold will fit the aan head, the heads are essentially the same, the aan manifold will have a different pn. as its totally different to the aby thats why this guy wants it...

[volcano rs]

it will fit but if are using aan inlet manifold it might not clear

[UrS4boy]

it will fit but if are using aan inlet manifold it might not clear

Which was exactly my point.

It will not clear and will require some grinding.

Yep want 2 use aan intake manifold with 3b or aby watermanifold ,a little grinding wont hurt if thats all it needs ?

[spink]

more than a little grinding is needed, more like chopping the inlet (edit...on the water manifold) off rotating it and welding it back on(or better still make a new inlet that is longer).Exactly what i am doing at present on my 90.

I thought you meant on the AAN head in an S2 / RS2 set-up

I have a spare AAN water manifold if you need one.

Dont want 2 chop the intake manifold,would rather try 2 rework the water manifold, if possible, any 1 got a spare water manifold 3b or aby

when i say inlet i mean the inlet on the water manifold,sorry for the confusion

[paulmac]

My mistake sorry,cheers spink
