ive got the same mag total vaux but cant be arsed reading it the words keep movun round

just make sure it has a lambda probe provision in the upper cast section :thumbs:

God, i sound well clever tonite :lol: can u tell im reading it from a magazine :D

well mine is a 1.4 spi 8v
so a better manifold cant hurt can it?

time to phone some scrappys i think

Dunno, depends whats on it already. worth checking tho if u can get a cheap un!

so would hetting a sri late spec nova manifold make my 1.4 8v go a bit quiker?

The 1.2 8v is a single downpipe of 47mm, The SRi 8v jobbie, from a late spec Nova, Doubles the downpipe diameter to two outlets at 40mm each. 6-7bhp easy :)

Its not a straight swap tho, it will need some cutting and welding to make it mate up with existing exhaust.

Courtney sells them pre-prepared at £195 each

or the expensive performance type, Lexmaul or Mantzel sell a tubular 'bunch of bannanas' item, £315.

can i have yours?
think ill get one of them and a cat back system

Doesnt seem anything special, just a 4 into 1 manifold. Perhaps the bore is a little bigger due to the size of the inlet/exhaust.

is the 8v sri exhaust manifold different to standard one?

if so what different?

no downsides to drilling airbox m8.jus make sure it aint on the engine side.i aint got any flast spots no more after doin it 2 mine

i cant remember who does the kit, but theres a nitrous system available with a variety of jets. Basically, you can get a big tank of nos, run it thru fine jets, and it just gives the same effect as driving a higher powered car. could be more hassle and expense than its worth for this engine...

my whole engine is a flat spot

setting up a carb would b 2 much aggro without much gain

Are u runnin an induction kit mate, as it caused big probs when i fitted one to mine.

Matt

drill your air box m8.drill holes underneath the filter dont go above it.drill lots on left side(against wing) front left and under left.drill lots and lots of holes with 10 -14 mm drill bit that will solve it.let me know how u get on

Dunno, what yo umean by flat spot and doesnt want to rev.

Mine doesnt have any flatspots, its just slow :lol: Seems happy enough to rev though, just takes its time about it :D

You could put a carb on it, but it'd be more trouble than its worth really, as you'll need to junk your standard loom and get one that opnly controls the ignintion. You'll also use lots more petrol, and may have trouble come mot time with emmisions. Also the cat wont like the carb :(.

Just stick with it, or start saving for a bigger engine/ new car :)

anyone else got one?do you get a big flat spot when you floor it and feel it doesnt wana rev?anyone got any ideas its not too bad on choke but still not puka and i no theres no adjustment at all possible on the mixture not even vaux. anyone think it'd be owrth putting a carb on?would it be hard? cheers for any help james
