Hi I have the chance of a hartge manifold I am just wondering if they are for lhd only or could they be modified for
Also I have a chance at a dbilas intake that goes with 45 webers dose anybody know if there any good or would you put your money elsewhere
Many thanks Russ

I had a Hartge exhaust, and I'd be very surprised if they fit a RHD. They were snug enough against the chassis rail already, without a UJ getting in the way.
As for the intake - why bother fitting carbs to your engine?

With the intake I was just seeing if anyone had done it and what they were like . I'm guessing there would be a way to butcher the manifold around the rail and UJ . Do you have any idea of what there worth the hartge manifold I mean

Hartge fannymoulds were available in LHD and RHD forms..
nobody has ever gained from a dbilas set up but they do look nice

I'll not go down the dbilas route then shame they don't help any as they look great. I'll have to try the manifold I guess the seller is unsure as he never fitted it

Agreed, the reasons why have been discussed on multiple threads on here and e30tech/r3v/bimmerforums.
The Dbilas ITB's just don't seem to work.

dbilas is junk, the design shows a lack of understanding of engine design

Cheers for the advice I'm going to leave the dibilas alone and I think the hartge manifolds have fallen though
