TLDR at the bottom
Hey all. Just created my account today. But I've been lurking here for a while now hahah. Created an account because I couldn't really find anything on this topic.
I've got a 1.4l 8v saxo with the round air filter (so not the panel filter). I bought a simota aero form I intake for it. However I'm expecting the stock intake system to be a bottleneck. The throttle body is so tiny. Looking online I haven't really been able to find any affordable alternatives. Only super expensive >1k ITB or billet systems.
My thinking was. Can I throw on the intake system from a 1.6l engine? Are the intake ports and threads in the same location? Finding one in a junkyard shouldn't be a problem.
TLDR: Can I throw a 1.6l 8v manifold + throttle body on a 1.4l 8v block? Has anyone else done this?
intake manifold + throttle body swap
