I would like to change mine plastic inlet manifold on 1.8 16V engine with the metal one. Is there a possibility to swap inlet manifold from GTI to 1.8 16V engine? Will it fit?I saw on forum inlet manifold swaping from GTI to XSI http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=64213&page=last I just want to know if it is possible to do it on 1.8 16 engine (XU7JP4) ________________________________________ sicimici |

yes, it has been discussed many a time, what you need to search for is fitting to an XS (later 306 XS's were 1.8 16v instead of the earlier 1.6 8v)________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

i have just done this to my xsi. I didn't cut and extend the wires though i just cut the tape back abit in the loom, pulled the sensor wires out abit and taped it all back up again. Used the xsi map sensor to. Also using the gti airbox and top rad hose. Runs very well. pulls alot better from 4krpm and sounds amazing... ________________________________________ Monkey see monkey do |

Makes you wonder why pug wouldnt fit it as standard if it increases performance? Sometimes more noise makes it feel faster |

Ted, did you use throttle body from XSI or you swaped that too from GTI?What about fuel pressure regulator, fuel rail and injectors? It will be grate if you have some pictures to show. ________________________________________ sicimici |

I'm sure someone else on here has put the manifold on a 1.8 to tell you what its like etc ________________________________________ Monkey see monkey do |

I expect that someone already done it before since the inlet manifold on 2.0 XSI is the same as the one on 1.8 16V.Here are some pictures. simakos has attached the following image: ________________________________________ sicimici |

Did it remain the same or maybe it is increased? And final question, did ECU made any kind of problems or just worked perfectly right from the start with new manifold? ________________________________________ sicimici |

i haven't been able to test the fuel consumption as i just haven't done the miles. In the few , miles that i have done, 30ish, i haven't noticed any difference. The ecu light comes on when i am at a constant RPM (i.e when cruising along) and goes off when the revs change. I'm guessing this is an air leak though as i don't currently have the throttle body gasket on (weekend jo  Pic of my engine bay attached. Just needs a tidy up.. ted has attached the following image: ________________________________________ Monkey see monkey do |

What is the price of new GTI inlet manifold?Does it come with a gasket? Can anybody tell me where can I buy a second hand GTI manifold? I mean beside e-bay. What can you suggest? I am not from UK but I have a good friend in UK who could assist me and purchase for me. ________________________________________ sicimici |

new i have no idea. Ebay or on this forum is the best place to find them. Top price for manifold, TB, injectors etc. (i.e everything you need) would be £100ish. ________________________________________ Monkey see monkey do |

I have been there and my experience was that the biggest benefit comes from swapping the exhaust manifold which sounds great and made my 1.8 quicker with no ill effects. The inlet manifold made little difference but it ran horribly rich with 6 injectors and much better with the 1.8 injectors. I went on to 6 cams-for which you need See SNEAKY EDIT- and found there was insufficient benefit to make it worthwhile as the lower rev limit on the 1.8 ECU prevented the development of the potential power at the top end of the range.In short exhaust manifold a guaranteed benefit. inlet manifold-great for show-not much go. Cams, need a re-map or a 6 ECU-neither of which is easy. SNEAKY EDIT> 6 cam pulleys-it's the 1.8 ones which don't work! ________________________________________ New Forum same high quality intellectual debate!Team Zimmer™ |

not surprised you found it ran rich with the gti6 injectors, they are huge compared to the originals and the ecu has no way of telling you have done this.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

the downpipe would be shorter as the 6 fannymold is a fair bit bigger than that cast iron lump of shit on the back of the 1.8 |
