inlet manifold question

[ben_mk1]

i have a mk1 1.2 8v and was wondering if there is any other inlet mani/throttle body u can put on it that is bigger like from the sr 1.4 model? im not really clued up on the carb engines atm as im used to injection lol.


any help appreciated :D

If it is a 1.2 carb then you can fit a 1300 inlet and carb, ideally with a weber fitted. You would need a quick trip to a decent rolling road to get it set us for best economy and power.

are they just a bolt on jobby or is there any modification to be done? and im guessing it wont run properly until its set up?

Carb is fed by air/fuel being drawn in by jets butterfly air filter,if you slap the 1.3 carb on which is set for a 1.3 engine,it wont be as effective on the 1.2 engine,best to get it roling roaded.

to be totally honest, the 1.2 in std form doesn't need a bigger carb/manifold.

fitting the 4-2-1 off the 1300 will help it a touch though.

oh ok no worries. i had i pproblem with changing the inlet mani on my old car several times but never worked and im not really feeling going through that again lol.
