there are usual some cheap mantzel copies on ebay, However if you can find one a second hand lexmaul would be more suited to your budget as you can get away with out a remap

maybe a touch more, by using a 1600 bottom end and a 1400 head you build an x16xel engine

Will acceleration be affected? will it be slower due to high spec bottom end?

What X16XEL is identical to an X16XE but with a lengthened inlet tract. X14XE and X16XE share these common parts...

yes but also x14xe and x16xel share the same head, x16xe head is a different part, also x16xel and x14xe have a different exhaust cam, whereas the x16xe has identical inlet and exhaust cams

definately worth investing in an inlet manifold...i wouldn't see any problem with those ones on ebay for £100! after all if you'd seen what a proper one looks like anyway its just a hollow box.
