Rippthrough 98 Posted September 18, 2006 I knoiw the 106 rallye manifolds are thought to give a good increase over the carb/spi manifold, but they go for silly money - the 206 manifold looks relatively similar in design, apart from its plastic and appears to have space for injectors. Does anyone know if it will fit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted September 18, 2006 The Carb/SPi type head has a completely different port and bolt layout to the 106 rallye (and XSi) and well as the later silver top heads, which are different again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bugger. I might just swap a 106xsi engine in there then - mines sounding a little rough lately, using a bit of oil too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted September 18, 2006 If you can get one yes, 23kg heavier than the Alloy block engine though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kitch 4 Posted September 20, 2006 The Rallye inlets quite often only go for about £130 complete, so not as bad as you probably were thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted September 20, 2006 The Rallye inlets quite often only go for about £130 complete, so not as bad as you probably were thinking. My total engine build budget so far has been about £50. That got me a ported head, xs cam, skim, new seals etc, ptfe gaskets and a radiused pipe for the throttle body entrance. I'm not counting the management and the wideband as they're reusable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
