1.2 viper on a williams

[clean16v]

can i get away with this? i can get hold of a viper off a 1.2 corsa, if i can get a pipe made up to connect the viper to the throttle body, will i have any other [problems for instance the viper being designed for a smaller engine?

i dont know mate thats exactly what i want to know. i jus sold my 1.2 16v clio and i had viper on that and wanna know the same if it fits ok on my valver?

There are two types AFAIK !! upto 1.6 and above 1.6 !! Dont think it will work !!

Dont do it. I put a 1.6 MINI Cooper Viper on my 172 and it just killed the performance above about 4k revs. Was okay below this, but when serious amounts of air were required, it just wasnt enough.

damn ill save up again and buy the proper one then.

Is the Viper as good as the BMC CDA? I hear the BMC one is the cats tits?

if its a proper viper kit, with a decent cool air supply then ull b ok, but if u cant fit the cool air feed in properly (and, trust me its hard!) then ull skrew up yor performance in the top end of your revs! if i were u id just get a proper kit for ure car, coz there must be some kind of difference as almost all kits differ in some way! (also id advise a k&n)

no K&Ns on Mk1s!!! Reduces performance due to engine heat. I have one, sounds the dogs, but its pap.

oh, u shud have got a gen II kit then, or just make ure own heatsheild box!
