S16 inlet manifold - Brashwoody - 19-10-2013
Looking for some aid with my s16 powered 205, its got a rather large inlet with a black plastic box on the end of it and i was looking to swap this out for the gti6 inlet which i've notice is alot cleaner looking, but having little knowledge of injection engines is putting me off trying, so i was wondering if any1 had any ideas that could help me Thanks

I no it can be done. But the s16 inlet is quite special as I understand it has vacuum operated valves in it which open up at a certain revs to give more power. Almost like vtec on hondas but obviously completely different

Ahh so that''ll be the point of the plastic casing then, maybe more trouble than it's worth by the sounds of thinga lol

Tbh the s16 inlet system is pretty good when its working i have a s16 myself and have never had any issues with It in the 4 years I have owned it. And as complicated as it looks its a simple setup

I've had a few problems with my S16 AVAC system but kind of expect that from the age of the thing. I think some people do put GTi 6 inlets on but I don't know if they make much difference

They need remapping to run, There could be quite a gain when this is done, but if left OE its pretty bad, Livable but thats it

I had to replace the solinoid on the side of the head but cost me a tenner and had no issues since

Agreed when set up correctly the s16 abac system is very good
