The other photo is from the passenger side front fender that needed some work. Additionally, I had to modify the clutch pedal geometry to get it to release, since the Bimmer clutch seems to have a lot longer action than the Opel one. The BMW pressure plate is way stiffer than the original though, and it took some time getting used to it. The CIH is pretty peppy with the billet flywheel, and there's no chance of slipping with this assembly. It's got a billet steel flywheel, an Opel 9' clutch disk and the pressure plate is a BMW 618 type. I forgot to mention the clutch earlier, but here's a picture of that too. Thought I'd share a couple of more photos of the project. (General questions: Are the 1975 and older Manta/Ascona/Luxus/1900's called 'Manta A's'? What are the years that they made the Manta A's, B's, C's.Z's?) I also just bought a '75 Ascona/1900 Wagon, so now I have to learn about FI.

I am also trying to install the 4 speed auto tranny from a Senator in one of my 1970's Opels. NICE work on your car! I have a 2.4 in my GT with a single side draft. After 60, you have to start a new album.Īnother way to use the Album system is to upload your pics to an album and then just copy and paste the one link for that album into a post. The Album system only allows 60 pictures in each album.

It is also nice because it puts all of your pictures in one place. This is good when you want to have pictures stored on this site so that you can put them in other posts again and again without having to upload them each time. You are using the Album picture posting method. This method only loads the pics to that one post and the pics can't be seen anywhere else, but it is quicker and easier. You can post up to 10 pictures in a Reply if you click the paperclip above the reply box. :lmao: )ĭo they make a big foam air cleaner like that for the 6 cylinder CIH's? (Okay, now everyone post pictures of one-piece, foam, air cleaners on other CIH FI set ups to really make me feel stupid. I can't say that ever remember seeing a one-piece, foam, air cleaner on a CIH FI set up like you have it. I found your air cleaner to be very interesting. Seems like I've reached the limit of photos you can add to a single post, but I'd be happy to share more about the project.

It goes together really well with the bronze tinted windows I have on the car.

The car retains it's original color, but the actual name or code of that golden color escapes me. I had the main paint job done by a professional. I painted the underside myself, with epoxy primer and black urethane top coat.

Still I had to replace both sills, patch up the floors, rear quarters, rear valance panel, and the passenger side frame rail goose neck. The truth is, you can't find a perfectly good shell for an old Opel anymore and mine wasn't as bad as many others out there. Long story short, it wasn't any better than the previous shell, and there was a lot of welding involved. I started the project by stripping the running gear from my rusted out GT/E Manta and buying a Berlinetta shell, that was supposed to be in better condition. I'm planning on swapping the tires for 205/45, since they are rubbing on the arches as they are now. Front brakes are 296mm from an Opel Senator B. Under the car I've fitted Koni Sport Short shocks wit H&R -50mm springs. Interior is from a GT/E Manta, with re-upholstered tartan Recaros, a digital dash fitted from a Kadett GS/i and a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel. I had the car tuned on a rolling road, that has a reputation for being very unforgiving and the result was 160hp/236Nm from the engine. Fuel injection and spark (VAG wasted spark coil) are controlled by Megasquirt. Exhaust is handled by a small tube 4-2-1 header. On the intake side, it has 45mm ITBs with 340cc injectors and 45mm long velocity stacks.

The engine retains it's stock bottom end, head is ported and has a 286/109/11,7 cam in it. Here's presenting my '83 Manta B, and a bit about the project behind it.Īs the car sits today, it's got a 2.4 CIH out of an Opel Omega A, backed up by a Getrag 240 and a stock GT/E Manta rear, with 3.44 gears and an LSD.
