Hello,
Can you kindly ask Nico if he would sell these intakes and linkage in a kit form that I could buy one for a 36hp old race car? Let me know. Tim

I'm a bit late to the party, but would be also really interested in one of these kits if he would be willing to produce them! Very Happy

Do you have his contact details?

Cheers!

Nico is a samba member. His username is nicolass. You can send him a PM to check if he might be interested in selling a set of those manifolds and/or the linkage system. He is a very nice guy. I met him when I was working in Holland and he is into VWs since the 60s so he is very knowledgable too.

We just finished putting a motor together like this recently, same type of Fram Filter unit setup as well. What we would like to know is, how much oil are we putting into this motor with a FRAM hookup?

The fram takes bunch of oil then leaves the crank case pretty low.

Would love your input,

Chris

I guess I am so use to seeing 28's and seeing them reversed. Also I had read that zenith 30 VIG were used on splits for after market performance. I see now that they are different.

Yeah, I thought they looked like 26's, which was a really cool choice over the more common 28's. Any videos of it running?
