1.4 head onto 1.2?

Post by danthemann »

will there be any power gains from putting a 1.4 8v head onto my 1.2 8v?

i woudlnt have thought that it would fit..
anyways i cant see it giving any gains as the pistons would remain the same

if it fits you probably would notice a difference i think the 1.4's are multipoint where 1.2 8v are spi :(

nova 1.3 heads bolt straight on ;)
