Larger throttle body

[Night Crawler]

Well, my cam belt snapped so I needed to replace the head because it was easier than sorting out the original head. So, while the head is off I'm thinking of giving the car a little more air to breath. Would I get any extra power by putting a 1.4 throttle body, injector and inlet manifold onto a 1.2 engine, if they fit, or would it be a waste of time?
Oh I have a 1.2 Clio prima with the energy engine.

dude, no point trying to get power out of the engine you have!! save your pennies and buy a bigger capacity''d motor when you've got some no claims!! seriously, it's a waste of cash!

If I wanted it though, I could have it for free, so I'll be saving my pennies anyway
Would it make any difference at all in performance?

I'd try and swap the 1.2 for a 1.4 as the engines are stright swap in them cars best bhp per £ in that sitiation. i did it on my old 1.2 energy engine cost £175 and no one would know the difference.

However if you do try and get the 1.4 throttle and injector on unlike me I could only get hold of the block and with out throttle it held it back until i changed it.

So there is a bit of difference between the 1.2 and 1.4 throttle body and injector?
I would get a 1.4 engine but I have nowhere to do that kind of work at the mo, so I was thinking 1.4 throttle body and injector for now until I can get the funds, space and time to do a GTT conversion

No point throttle bodies are good enough.
