manifold center section for 30-31 & 34 pict Solex type 1 High Flow Empi
Part number:
17-2805
Your cost:
$120.00
Description:
manifold for dual port fits 30-31 and 34 pict carbs.
HIGH FLOW CENTER section with an inverted V in the center of the casting. That V is below the carburetor opening in the bottom of the casting. When the fuel charge is sent down the manifold, it crashes into the V and is forced into being directed to the left & right.
This is not stock oem vw. It is an aftermarket manifold with a slot that enables 30 pict carbs & 30-31 pict carbs & 34 pict carbs to bolt up to it.
It has the improved flow design in the casting which is a plus. It can give up to 12% better flow over a stock center section.
The preheat tubes come separate with the manifold, where stock is all 1 piece. So this is a 3 piece set, 2 heat riser tubes and the center section.
This manifold will require the use of end elbows, boots (stock stepped style boots) & clamps common on dual port engines.
End pieces can also be purchased if you want to use this on a single port engine.
Directly under the cast portion of this manifold is a slot that is designed to fit over the stud coming out of the block. Put a washer and a nut on that stud and tighten down the manifold to hold the manifold tight. Now you have a three point holding system to keep the manifold from rocking under acceleration and deceleration. The three points are: the left boot, the right boot, and the nut and washer.

I recently sent one of these manifolds out to be ceramic coated. When it came back, one of the tubes that carries fuel air mix to the end castings was loose. I pulled on it to remove it and it came right out of the center casting. These tubes are glued in using 2 part epoxy 3M Brand #1751 Part A + Part B.
Also, upon assembly to our engine, we had to trim 1/2" off of the 3-4 side tube to allow the end casting to bolt up when it's sitting flat on the head. After I put the saw down, I noticed that that tube had also come loose. Now both tubes need to get re-glued.
THEN I NOTICED that when I put the 30 pict carb on, the back stud was so close to the 'down tube' that there was NO room to thread on a nut (this is not an issue when using a 34 pict). The pictures show where I ground on the back of the manifold 'down tube' to allow for a washer and a 12mm wrench size nut to fit. The pictures also show a 13mm wrench size nut & washer on the front of the carb.
New 10mm wrench size nuts are now available to fit your carbs studs, making this install even better.
