Excellent addition fella...cant beat the noise from carbs!
Top purchase. Will keep an eye out here now.
Those japanese carbs should run a damn sight better than the pre-war Weber efforts, regarding economy & cold starts.
Cheers for replies.
Aye, im hoping they will run nicer than webers do.
Should have better throttle response/progression etc too, as there variable venturi. :)
I'd be interested to see the inlet when you have it. (Pics)
I'll get pics up once i get it :)
Edit-heres a pic Tom did when he picked the manifolds up from the maker.

It'll be getting drilled/tapped for coolant connection, and brake servo. EGR is already blocked off(right hand side), and the left hand side will be cut off, as the 16xe head has a cast bolt on gallery for the coolant, seperate from the inlet.
And the runners will need a session with the die grinder to get them nice and smooth.
I might see if i can find another cylinder head, so i can then get the inlet matched to the head ports, re-lap the valves etc, then bolt the whole lot on my block. As i want the car to be off the road for the shortest time posible ideally.
What happened to getting an audi?? :P Reading through this makes me wish i never sold my nova.
Look forward to seeing the results mate

So audis off the cards for a while.
Hmm, after doing some thinking, mainly about costs(worked out this is going cost well over ?500), thats before having the carbs set up and the ecu ign map sorted....
Considering selling the carbs on..... :(
And just buying a mantzel or something.
I say keep at it. Fit the bits when you have it all ready to go.
Heads often pop up cheap.
From what I can gather you are in a fantastic position to play around with setups & tinker until your heart is content. Theres a few people wanting to run this setup or hoping to do it. You'll be one of the 1st. Likewise when you do get it running, the sound of the carbs at full chat will make it all worthwhile.
Atleast the car goes.
Not sure what to do.
I guess if i spent a few month getting the bits together the cost wouldn't seem as bad.
But i dont have the patience to sit about looking at things, i WANT them fitted like now lol
