fit lyk folks, wis wonderin if i cud pick all yer brains and wisdom lol
i've got a x14xe engine and want2change the inlet system coz that stupid pipe that goes doon i bak o the engine is a pain in the fuckin arse.. i've been lookin in ere and noticed u guys say the lexmaul inlet is a gd thing to fit... i've seen a manifold on total vauxhall ads made by DBilas but is it the same and wat modifications do ya have tae make for vacuum pipes?
and throttle bodies and carbs... they really ezpensive and can be unreliable unless tuned properly at a price are they worth the hassle?
and cams, wats the standard for x14xe inlet & exhaust cams coz ya get ones that are 285degrees and they sound lyk they are quite mild..
thanx folks hope tae hear fae y'all soon!!
magic site btw!!
