Thread: 1.4 Tuning

  1. #1

    1.4 Tuning

    What kinda things can be interchanged with the 1.4 and say rsi or valver?

    for example use the rsi inlet manifold and throttle body?
    rsi head? cam? etc
    injectors?
    Exhaust Manifold?
    Anything at all lol
    Jus thinking of simple things to change over....can these be interchanged?
    dont really want to go into the insurance bracket of an rsi or valver now ive got 9points :P

    Not the Rsi engine. From the 1.8 SPI laguna engine. Don't know its code.

    There have been plenty of threads on this. The idea is, unless you can get it done cheap by doing most of the work yourself or have money to burn, don't bother.

    Yeah it can. The inlet manifold throat needs boring out to make the most of it though.
