Description

495INT Short Billet Intake Manifold


For Lifan / DTV Shredder Cylinder Heads – 26mm Slide Carb Flange Mount

The 495INT Short Billet Intake Manifold is precision CNC-machined in the USA specifically for Lifan/DTV Shredder cylinder heads running 26mm flange-mount slide carburetors.


Unlike generic VM-style intakes, this manifold is engineered to properly match the unique round intake port of the Shredder head. The Shredder uses the same bolt spacing as a Walbro PZ26 carburetor, as well as common “VM22” and Nibbi PE flange-mount carburetors — allowing the carb studs to pass directly through the intake and clamp the assembly securely together.


This short version pulls the carburetor closer to the head for improved clearance on mini bikes and go-karts, while maintaining strong airflow and clean port transition.


Why This Intake Is Different

  • Designed Specifically for Shredder Heads – Not a modified clone intake
  • Round Port Matched – Shredder heads use a round inlet (not D-port like standard GX/clone heads)
  • Short Design for Clearance – Tucks carb inward for tighter chassis applications
  • Integrated Pulse Port Fitting – Ready for vacuum-operated external fuel pumps
  • O-Ring Seal Design – Uses a machined O-ring groove instead of a paper gasket for improved durability and repeat removal
  • Made in the USA – Precision CNC-machined in-house, not imported cast aluminum


Performance & Fitment Benefits

  • Improved carb alignment and clamping stability
  • Cleaner airflow transition between carb and head
  • Better durability compared to paper gasket setups
  • Stronger sealing when frequently removing carb/intake assembly
  • Compact layout ideal for mini bikes and kart frames


Compatible 26mm Flange-Mount Carburetors

  • Wildcat WC22 (26mm Slide Carb)
  • Tillotson FM22 (26mm)
  • Walbro PZ26 (World Formula)
  • Nibbi PE22FL / PE24FL (Flange Mount Only)
  • Chinese “Chikuni” VM22 (26mm bore clones)

Important:
This intake is designed for 26mm bore VM22-style clone carbs, not genuine 22mm Mikuni VM22 carburetors.


Carb Mount Specifications

  • Flange Bolt Spacing: 1.875"
  • Bore: 26mm (actual carb bores may vary 25.5–26mm)
  • Offset Centerline: Designed for improved chassis clearance
  • Integrated Pulse Fitting: Yes


Fitment

Lifan / DTV Shredder Cylinder Heads
These Heads that fit Honda clone engines using 10mm dowel pins


Fitment Note

The Shredder cylinder head intake port offset does not perfectly match the bore offset of most 26mm carburetors. This intake is designed to match as closely as possible; however, minor blending or port matching of the intake or cylinder head may be required for optimal transition in high-performance applications.


Ideal For

  • Mini bike performance builds
  • Go-kart racing setups
  • Shredder head conversions
  • 26mm slide carb upgrades
  • Engines running external pulse fuel pumps

FAQ

Will this intake fit a standard Honda GX200 or clone head?

No. This intake is designed specifically for the Lifan/DTV Shredder cylinder head, which uses a round intake port and unique bolt spacing. It will not fit standard D-port GX200-style heads.


What carburetors does this intake support?

This intake fits 26mm flange-mount carburetors with 1.875" bolt spacing, including:

  • Wildcat WC22 (26mm)
  • Tillotson FM22
  • Walbro PZ26
  • Nibbi PE22FL / PE24FL
  • Chinese VM22 “Chikuni” clones (26mm bore)

It does not fit genuine 22mm Mikuni VM22 carbs.


Does this intake include a pulse fitting?

Yes. This version includes an integrated pulse port fitting for engines running a vacuum-operated external fuel pump.


Why use an O-ring instead of a gasket?

This intake uses a machined O-ring seal, which:

  • Seals more reliably than paper gaskets
  • Holds up better under repeated removal
  • Reduces the chance of vacuum leaks
  • Improves durability in racing applications


Why is the intake short?

The short design pulls the carburetor closer to the cylinder head, providing:

  • Better frame and tire clearance
  • Cleaner mini bike fitment
  • More compact kart setups


Will I need to port match this intake?

Possibly. The Shredder head intake port offset does not perfectly match most 26mm carb bore offsets. Minor blending or port matching may be required for optimal airflow in high-performance builds.


Is this intake better than generic VM22 intakes?

Yes. Most generic VM22 intakes are:

  • Designed for D-port clone heads
  • Cast overseas with inconsistent machining
  • Gasket sealed instead of O-ring sealed

The 495INT is CNC-machined in the USA specifically for the Shredder head’s round port design.


What engines do Shredder heads typically fit?

Shredder heads commonly fit Honda clone-style engines using 10mm dowel pins, including many 196cc–224cc platforms.
