Stu Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 anyone? You'd need an adapter plate to bolt it to the 16v head. You'll also need to fit a zetec or at least the zetec TPS to whatever throttle body you use. It's an inferior manifold to the plastic one. Why on earth would you want to do this? It'll run worse than it does now if you don't custom tune the engine for the different manifold (and even then it'd gain you no power/driveability).

Is it a gti 115hp engine. I thought the tb and ecu are the only thing thats anygood on them, are they not 105hp (roughly) with the so inlet. I wouldn't bother doing anything to it unless you get cheap remaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danj8608 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Plastic manifold on the 1.8 flows the same as the efi inlet on the xr/rs1800 just throttle body dependant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Plastic manifold on the 1.8 flows the same as the efi inlet on the xr/rs1800 just throttle body dependant Can you provide us with the flow figures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvin Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 interesting reading about stuff like this can be found in a myth buster thread by one of the mods/admins. Im on my phone so i can't put a link up. i havn't worked out how to edit yet, sorry. The myth buster thread is the top thread in mechanical.
