Engine parts compatibility?

[Guilherme]

Hey guys, i have a 1.4 ford puma, from 1999, and I would like to know if i can fit some upgrades, like:

1.7 Injectors;
Hoffman 1.7 exhaust;
Inlet manifold from a 1.6 or 1.7 engine;

I already have new suspension coming, KYB + H&R springs, but if you guys have any ideias, send it pls! (unfortunately i can´t change the engine.. the laws here in Portugal are very strict )

I'd have thought your best option would be to turbocharge the 1.4 to get it to 1.7 torque levels.

Drop in a 1.7 lump. Injectors will not make any difference as standard will operate at a higher tuned level.

IIRC the 1.4 and 1.6 engines are visually the same. So, if you don't tell, noone will know it is 1.6 inside

I can do that, or just exchange some parts.. now I´m really interested in the Hoffman exhaust, i have a full piece for 150eur, without the middle silencer tho, does anyone have something like that? and is it very loud?

Apart from the 1.6 cast in the block!

So, supposedly, it will fit/work?
