Twin weber 45 inlet manifold on Mk3 1.8 8v?

Posting this on behalf of a friend.

He has a 1.8 8v engine from a Mk3 Golf and a pair of twin weber 45s and wants to mate the two together. Can the normal off the shelf cast inlet manifold advertised for Mk1 and Mk2 GTIs be used or will it have to be a custom made job?

 

hello! pretty sure the engine from the mk3 is the same inlet as the mk2's etc mate. So yeah an inlet like this one should be fine. Buy it now 115

but i'd double check that they would fit, the inlet size might be abit different on the mk3

 

be warned that some inlet manifold dont clear the water flange.
i have the dbilas one (listed for the kr) and that clears the water flange fine.

ah sorry, just realised he has an 8v. not sure if you would still use the kr manifold or not...

 

throttle bodie inlet can't find the Carb one.

 

it'll work the same as they use the dcoe fitting, which I have on my Dbilas itb's

 

So is that a yes, the off the shelf cast manifold will fit?
