Cool project

The Caterham inlet manifolds do occasionally come up on ebay but they're usually quite expensive. Most guys with K Midgets just re-route the intake around the back of the engine but you just need to be careful to not get it too close to the exhaust.

With a mems 2 VVC inlet it would not be hard to cut the 2 ends off and have them re welded back the opposite way around. Mems 3 tapers so wont be easy. I think the Caterham one was made from a T series upper half and was done by cutting the swan neck off and re welding it on the other end. I dont know how they got the 4 port part to line up, I've never checked but maybe it does already.

I'm sure you can run a Mems 2 VVC inlet on Mems 3. Then there is always the Jenvey plenum! £500 before you have bought the throttle body or manifold!

We did look at cutting and welding the MEMS2 VVC inlet but it wasn't going to be that straight forward due to where the runners come up, I think. Anyway, there was a reason we didn't go that way but it may have also been because it was not a lot more work for us to build a new, bigger plenum up anyway.
