Has anyone ever tried offering up a Punto GT inlet manifold to a C1J engine for an EFI conversion rather than having to re-machine the original C1J one? :read.gif: They look similar… ![image.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/7/3/734a51bb8e2838bc434fa2c8e4fdf2009606e52f.webp) ![image.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/2/0/20a39edc632a51d2b8efaa55baf8609633fdd1f3.webp) ---

The Uno one is a bit of a dogs breakfast according to my Uno Turbo fanatic mate Jez who sent me these pictures.. ![SAM_3258.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/d/a/da6de047ef1b2892055708e8ac8a5bce64c28d0f.webp) ![SAM_2718.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/b/d/bdd9ad04e36e35922e8c62f95b36af3fd8dfae64.webp) ![SAM_2717.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/7/e/7eecef9271b1a73afd70dddd63c537ec15381dbe.webp) ![SAM_2654.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/3/5/35a5fbeeec23dfa6b576d2ce8726aac3c7f82893.webp) If you look at this one ABOVE you can see that the outlets are shaped, which probably wouldn’t work too well with a C1J..? ![SAM_2763.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/2/d/2d20bd30ad46df54b01e615c2b699aebf4367c46.webp) ---

that alliance manifold would be great to get hold of. straight bolt on. ---

Think it’s worth getting hold of an inlet or at least a gasket to have a measure up? For sure I don’t think it would be a straight bolt on job, but perhaps it would be a case of welding on the C1J inlet flanges onto the Punto manifold rather than completely re-hashing a C1J Inlet? ---

No doubt it will need some choppy/weldy action to make it fit which will be dear if you cant do it yourself. The manifolds michael tierney makes is prob the best bolt on option? ---

The Skoda Fabia 1.4 mpi manifold supposedly bolts up with a bit of fettling of the holes. I’ve got one, but can’t be arsed to take the o.e manifold off Whitey to see if it does fit…and I don’t have a spare head either. ---

Got a pic mart? The skoda engine is 1397cc also isn’t it? so could be a close match for plenum volume ---

nice one, ill have a complete engine here soon, so was thinking i could mock up on it before fitting it all in to the campus. Would like to order one to do so but want to make sure i get the right one (y) ---

or the 25mm venturi. im sure they could be opened up though, and will probably need a reshape to the head. Ive found a few on ebay, they all look the same, just want to make sure its the same as you guys have before i buy one ---

Already done Adey. Currently gathering parts to convert my brothers five. The manifold is long and very close to bulkhead. ---

bang some pics up bud, will update as i go along, could be a future project for me, just easy to check out on the engine before i swap it into my car [Next page](https://turborenault.co.uk/t/punto-gt-manifold-for-c1j-conversion/14408.md?page=2)
