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?
Saab 'reds', which should be good for mid 200hp. There is a bolt-on fuel rail (which I can't bloody remember now which model it's from) that has a 3bar reg' already in situ on the rail, to make life a bit easier.
forget the fabia manifold with a bit of trimming and redrilling it will go onto the head but once on the car it sits to low and requires the rerouting of the downpipe. as I first went that route when adding EFI and all was well up to trying it on the car.

is there not enough space to have a custom downpipe in there? dont suppose you have a top view do you? id be confident in doing a cut and shut on a downpipe over the inlet

it needs a bit of trimming and if I remember correctly 2 new holes drilling but as it is ally not to hard to do. you can see in the last pic where it was trimmed down
So got the Punto GT manifold in the post today and had a little play! Unfortunately not as similar in size as first thought... offered up a C Series Gasket for reference and you can see it's only the right size in one of the 4 inlets...
So I then dug out the Skoda Fabia inlet I had to just take a picture for your reference and you can see it's a good match, straight out of the box! It's just the matter of the "dangly bits" getting in the way of the exhaust (as mentioned by @roy h) that cause the problems:
The fabia manifold looks pretty poor in my opinion. You could probably chop it about a bit and knock something up out of the two. Just whack some injector bosses onto the oe manifold and a throttle body or buy a tierney one it will probably work out cheaper than the fabrication costs. Ideally if power is the goal you need a proper plenum like glens old inlet but you will need to chop the bulkhead.
