EU3 K Series Plastic Manifold - Extra Ports / Hoses. Ideas?

[revilla]

I bought a plastic manifold off eBay as a possible replacement for somebody. When it arrived, it had the chopped off ends of four lengths of what looks like cotton covered rubber fuel hose attached to four brass inserts in each of the inlet runners.

I've not seen anything like them before, but then I'm more used to looking at the aluminium plenum, however I don't think they're normal.

I'm thinking hybrid LPG conversion kit?

Or possibly NOX kit (not sure how they are usually plumbed, may be a silly suggestion)?

Any ideas?

If they turn out to be a standard-ish thread I can probably blank them off, or just cap the lines on the outside but they do protrude into the flow a bit.

 As you say, it looks like either LPG or NOx to me. I've seen a hybrid system where you can switch between LPG and regular petrol..

Would you still consider that useable with the brass ports capped off, or are they just going to disturb the airflow too much? Got somebody coming over at the weekend with a sick car who might just need one and I'll struggle to get another on time now.

Where are you Andrew? I have a couple of spares.

I messaged Andrew regarding a spare I have and we identified there is a difference between EU2 and EU3 plenums. The EU3 has an external MAP sensor so the molding is different. (Well Andrew knew already and my picture of an EU2 confimed where the difference was!)

Andrew, I have a brand new eu3 plastic manifold here that you could have but obviously it’s not going to get there for this weekend. If your man wants to buy it if that one is no good I could get it to you early part of next week.

Thanks for all the offers guys. I think I'll just have to see how we get on at the weekend; we may or may not need one. If we do and we're stuck, we'll just have to take it from there and I may well get back to you.
