m20b20 intake manifold chop (odd request)

[Guest FrantiC]

Anyone got a spare m20b20 pre F/L intake manifold liying around they don't want and would cut for me??

I need one like this :

As you can see on the back side of the manifold there is an extra *3* nipples, i want that whole back bit cut. Then I could have it welded to my 325i intake mani. for the extra nipples.. Seems like an easy way to get the extra vacuum nipples I need.

Or a cheap manifold would do and I'll cut it

Aren't those manifold cast? I.e a bitch ass to weld??!

[Guest FrantiC]

I thought they were aluminum?

[tibbs.james 1]

People do similar to Nissan cast manifolds all the time

I gather they are tig welded normally

Should be fine

I have a 2.3l manifold, has lots of stock vacuum holes. But I'm in the 03

[Guest FrantiC]

i mean the whole 5 items sharing the same small vacuum signal, Where as directly from the manifold seems more spread out.

shouldnt really matter as long as they are connected ok

How much ?

Wuld you be able to cut like the whole rear section, like cut the #1 and #6 runners off and cut it flush between #2 and #5 (from the edge of the #1 and #6 where you cut them off). Dunno if that makes sense for you or not haha. I'll find a pic of a manifold for ya.

Have a bare 320i pre-facelift intake manifold, 65$ including shipping in Nz will leave the chopping up to you though. email [email protected] if interested. pretty sure it has the extra vac nipples you need.
