5 GT Turbo Punto GT Manifold for C1J Conversion?

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...

not that i know of but it looks good, i might of read that the uno turbo one was close too?
The Uno one is a bit of a dogs breakfast according to my Uno Turbo fanatic mate Jez who sent me these pictures..

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.
 
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
 
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
