Custom/Hybrid TYPE 8 or Riva forward facing manfold?

[Brian_216]

Are these still obtainable? Im looking to build my own wet chamber with one of these manifolds. I have access to a band saw, slip roller for sheet metal and a tig welder. Im going to kind of copy the WDK wet pipe. I dont care to mess aroud with grinding a b pipe, or waiting for a powerfactor that I know is not going to fit.

Can anyone tell me what Riva pipe had the manifold that faced forward?

Don't waste time copying the wdk pipe, those who have used it know it is junk.

There are 2 reputable people here that have carbon wet chambers in the works based off this manifold.

Their own chamber designs?

Your going to blow a few motors/setbacks building your own chamber, comes with the territory. Just giving you a heads up, even then after its done you will wonder if its any good you can wonder but that is it. From there you need to buy the proven thing and test agenst it.
After speaking to you on the phone regarding my old motor setup and pump selection I highly recommend buying somthing that works, so you can ride your boat and then go off on the side with your project. That DASA 8mm with 145mm setback TL like the way
your setting it up is going to be very nice, dont chance it till you get it tuned in with proven products.

Could you take a Type 9 or 4 and flip it the other way?

Not really, because the port shape and water jacket would no longer match the cylinder.
