150 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I have searched the internet far & wide to no avail trying to find photos/reviews of the Mangoletsi manifold before buying. Therefore, I hope this post will give the next person looking to switch to triple webers more complete information. The manifold is made by Mangoletsi in the UK. It is built to fit DCOE 40 but they also produce an option for DCOE 45. It is extremely well built, every part looks and feels to be high quality. It comes with both the standard rod linkage as well as a cable linkage (can be seen in one of the photos). Included in the kit is a port matching template to make the block openings fit the manifold perfectly. I have not had the chance to install the manifold as the car is undergoing a complete restoration, but so far completely recommend it. Enough talking, time for some photos! Although it did take a while to have the manifold built, it was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 How proud of that were they? (¿Canto Cuesta, Señor? What cost?) Looks better than the Lynx-Produced manifold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryant67 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Looks very impressive, thanks for sharing! Great PDF with info on their site -http://www.mangoletsimanifolds.com/manifolds/datsun.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 In-deed! Very nice manifold/head port template and dowel jig! VERY nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
150 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 My car is far from road worthy, looking forward to finally installing all the parts and making it work. Until then, lots of playing around and test fitting the manifold and carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The throttle cable pull thing they've created seems very cool and it would definitely solve some of my problems with pedal travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) That's a standard methodology for actuating carbs used in Europe for years... That adjustable quadrant is nice touch. The firewall adapter is a nice piece as well, but I like the look of the stock 200SX Cable through the original hole!

kimdrummel Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I've got one of these. It's incredibly well made. And not very expensive either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I've got one of these. It's incredibly well made. And not very expensive either. Haha! For Americans...that's a gold brick kind of price. I agree, for the build quality, I see no issue with it, but the majority of S30 guys in the US are complaining about a secondhand manifold at $300!

150 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 I've read some threads about manifolds not fitting properly, that is what determined me to buy this manifold (and the absurdly high transport/import taxes that have to be paid on any item brought in from the US) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 This is on my list when I upgrade mine to throttle bodies. I may use the firewall adapter for the cables to go to my RB26 throttles in my other Z since I don't have a solution right now and nothing jumps out to me until now....
