#1: 138 inlet manifold on 1.4 8v, possible? Author: TheGTIlad, Location: LeedsPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:32 pm ---- Hi there all.
Some person i know owns a 206 and think's that it is possible to swap a gti 138 manifold on to his 1.4 8v TU lump. I'm 90% certain it is not possible and i just want to prove the arrogant d**che wrong. So is it possible to swap a 138 manifold to a 1.4 8v TU?

Unless you want to do a lot of fabrication that will prove absolutely pointless

Plus the benefits would be outweighed by the losses/effort

For a start the inlet manifold is at the front of the GTi engine, on the TUs they are behind the engine, and I would be almost certain that the spacing and port sizes would not match.
Depending on the port spacing (00-00 or 0-0-0-0) and year, inlet manifolds from bigger TU engines should fit so long as the throttle body is the same mechanism as the original one - electric or cable Last edited by Andrew on Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:39 pm; edited 3 times in total

1. if you put the GTI intake on the exhaust side of 1.4
2. if you put the GTI exhaust one on the intake of 1.4
3. flip the engine

Gaffa tape the 138 manifold to the top of the tu lump?

#11: Re: 138 inlet manifold on 1.4 8v, possible? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 6:16 am ---- The EW engine will also be wider and the port spacing will be different. There's no reason for the design not to fit but the actual EW10 inlet won't fit.
