Need quick mani advice

[Japps]

Hi guys brought a 1.1 02 mk2 106 yesterday and the big ugly cat is on the down pipe so instead of cur and weld i tbought to get a mk1 manni an fownpipe from scrap yard he gave me a good price but said the 106 he has is 1.6 and dont know if it will fit? So will it? And will my oxygon sensors bolt straight up to the manni and down pipe quick replys appriciated pleasee

It'll fit.
But only if it's an 8v mk1 not a vts.
However I believe it'll hit the oil filter if you have the paper filter.

Will this give me a little more power gains? And i dont understand the paper filter? As in the blue oil filter that screws on?

[f13sta]

Yes mk1 saxo/106 have a blue spin on metal filter.
Where as a mk2 is a paper element that you fit into a black housing.
The mk1 down pipe may hit this as it's designed to go
Around the metal filter.
And no I don't think it will give any more power gains. As your still using standard cast piping.

if you have the oil filter thats in a black plastic casing next to the block then the manifold will touch it. You need to convert to the older metal cannister style filter for it to clear, but no it wont give you any power gains on a 1.1 at all its a total waste of time especially with the cost cutting restrictions of a standard manifold

Okay i have checked i do have the mk2 black plastic filter thing, so is it a no go from here?

[f13sta]

Can I just ask why are you even bothering ?
Get a proper manifold I.e supersprint
And correct system. If the cat really bothers you that much.
But it does mean that it'll make it a pain to go through emissions come mot time.

[Gandi699]

its not a "no go" per se as its possible but its an epic waste of time and money.

Remember that also yo will need to refit it for the MOT or fit an under floor one!

Fitted up today, but the lambda sensor was touching the black plastic filter, and like a idiot i thought nothing of it till i seen smoke so its melted a hole lol, so how do i convert to old metal filter ? Or any other way around this? I bent the lambda sensor as muvh as possible without breaking it, thanks

You need a threaded adapter for the block, and a new filter obviously.

I have a brand new genuine PSA adapter spare if you want it for £15 posted. These are no longer available new from Citroen so I got a few when you last could lol
