Does anyone know anything about these manifolds?

I was at my scrappy today and found one and they look incredibly like the KLZE Manifold. . .I thought it was at first glimpse :dontknow: (see picture)

I'm now wondering if they have the same/similar flow properties and if they do would it be beneficial fitting one to the BA ?

Any info anyone has on these would be grateful :)

I'm sure the Xedos engine has a lot in common with the V6 from our cars.

Yeah, I'm sure the block and heads are exactly the same, it's just this intake manifold I'm rather interested in :)

Do you think it you were to offer it up to an 'F' head it would bolt on without many problems?

The bhp is the same as ours for the Xedos 2.0 V6 and they did a 1.6 as well. The 2.0 used was the KF engine

Far as I know its the same engine, actually, the Xedos 6 shares its chassis floor plan with the BA F, unlike the larger Xedos 9 which shares its chassis with the Millenia.

Don't forget the Xedos 6 is by definition a rather soft executive saloon car, this is emminently demonstrated by the tweed interior!!!!! ;) So if anything the Xedos 6 manifold would probably be a softer tune than the F one :)

Lack of space in the engine bay i would assume

Having fitted a Xedos V6 engine to my last BA the manifolds do swap, but the pipes, sensors and what not won't fit or reach when put in the 323F engine bay... easily. Not to mention the throttle body goes straight to the battery in a 323f orientation ;)
