i was just browsing ebay when i came across this link:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/zetec-inlet-manif ... dZViewItem

Now if it can be done for a zetec ford. Can it be done for a polo?? The dude says on there that he is willing to make the manifolds for other models. But do they look any good really??

Is a bit of stainless steel enough? Would it possibly crack or warp or anything????

I havnt a clue! So hence i ask here. What else would you need to do if you did chuck some motorbike throttle bodies on? Would you need to get a new engine management thingy??? uprated fuel pump maybe????

Like i say im clueless and in my time of being ehre ive never really see the subject come up and get really in depthly covered so anyone with any information would be great.

I know what your thinking at the moment just a 16v or a 40, itd probably be cheaper yes but... it might be less hastle then an entire engine conversiona dn or new car plus i can purchase the bits at different times thus saitisfying me impatience haha!!!

Now awaiting the: "dude you drive an 8v 1.4 get used to it"

AY up, I'm trying to find out almost the same thing, made some posting's on clubpolo and GSF about what throttle bodies can be used on the olop (I have the same as you), I have found out we can use a TB from a G60. Am waiting to see what others we can use, I am desperately trying to make my car breath DEEEEEEEPER and a larger TB would do this, I'll pm you with what I find.

im pretty sure you might need a remap to adjust for the fuelling,if not megasquirt engine support, the zxr 600 bike bodies are commonly used on the 1.3 gt polos.

probably looking if you did the whole breathing manifold back, and head, *roughly* 90-100ish bhp possibly more

bogg brothers would be the ones to talk to though,they make custom throttle body manifolds etc. some one on club polo got quoted 800 pounds for a drive in drive out everything sorted conversion.
