VN GP A Manifold

[Strick]

Hi all,

For those out there in the know, what markings, numbers etc are on these manifolds to say they are genuine.

Any info would be great.

Cheers

Brady

If memory serves me right it should have a part number with 9 something

and then the firing order casting number around the valley

Thanks

Nick--

Wouldnt happen to have photos would you?

Not of a vn one- walky one yes-

[hRTHSV]

Holden dealer should be able to tell you the part number even though they would be obsolete. But I can't imagine there would be to many exact copies out there, if you do a search you should be able to find some pretty detailed pics on the net. That is of course assuming you mean road going Grp A and not something from Perkins Engineering etc.

[Strick]

I mean road going type. There is one in WA that im looking at however i wont actually be able to physically see it so would like to get as much info so when i get some pics i know im not getting done.

thanks

Get one of the wa members to check it out for you if theirs a ton of money involved as they still cost a fair bit-

I will get some pics and post them up a bit later tonight..

[Strick]

Thanks very much, appriciate it. Also the airbox and pipes would be great.

thanks again

EDIT:


PICS REMOVED
WRONG PICS

Doh!

[JT]

That's a VL manifold isn't it Jez? with the slope at the back

[VYSHSV8]

What area is the manifold for say in, in Perth I could have a look get pics etc I may even know the bloke:):)

[JezzaB]

AHH CRAP! Your right, Its a Walky one. He had both. Removed the pics so there is no confusion. See if I can find the pics of the VN Grp A one on his 355

[Strick]

Thanks for the help fellers, aussie372 thats perfect and ill put them to one side so ill know what to look for.

Dont know what area of perth it is, dont think the bloke is too keen plus seems like he wants far too much of my money. Ill let you know though, thanks

[dogsballs]

aren't these going for like $3.5+ k these days??? just basic manifold.

[white lie]

Yep, upwards of 3K depending on what it comes with. Around 5-6K in mint condition with all the fruit.
There was a guy in Perth that had a heap of them (still wrapped in plastic from new) and was selling them off on Gumtree a while back.

[maloo brent]

Here is a pic of my old one, hope this helps.

[Strick]

Yeah they are pritty expensive these days, its also a bit of wow factor for my engine bay so will get around to it when i find one at the right price.

Thanks maloo appriciate your help

[Gee]

Would the COME Racing twin throttle body intake be a better option?

[Strick]

Yep, but its not a GP A manifold if you get what i mean.

[mustanger]

What is the difference between a VL Group A (walky) and VN Group A manifold?......

[lowhsv]

still a fan of the motec twin throttle body and from what i understand alot rarer then the group a and walky

[Strick]

Whats the motec throttle body you talk of?

Yeah ive seen that one, he wants alot of money for it

[putanna]

From memory the walky slopes at the back and the vn group a slopes at the front. Also i think the vn group a is 4.5kg lighter.

Exactly right mate :goodjob:

[maloo brent]

Try more like 10kg lighter for the VN.

[hotbox]

VN Looks 100% better than VL though

I've known a guy in MoTec who's pretty high up now for many years, and when I had a VR SS in the mid 90's he showed me one of their manifolds...

[vsclubby355]

Mine is currently off the car and pulled apart. Can get pretty much any pictures you want. To be honest I have never seen a non genuine VN Grp A manifold

[white lie]

Me either...
I think someone would make a killing if they made replica's and sold them at the right price.

I also vote for the Flowcraft (old MoTec), very underated manifold and have never been overly popular, even since Flowcraft started producing them at a much cheaper price.
