Revised Intake System - 1.2 16v

does anyone know anything about the changes renault made to the intake system on the 1.2 16v engines after 2004?

i notice my mums 05 car has a simmilar noise to mine now that mine has an induction kit fitted(untill 4,500rpm, when mine starts to roar) but hers is the standard air box! hers also seems to pull a bit better.

anyone know why it was changed? was it just the inlet manifold that was changed? whats needed to convert mine? what makes the newer style better?

sorry for all the questions,
cheers
 
if your ik isnt sealed or you havent got a heat shield, that could be why. as hers got more miles on it? that could also be why.

Induction kit is on a k-tec relocation pipe and it was pulling harder after it was fitted.

mine is at 120,000 miles and hers is at 22,000 miles

so is the 80hp micra engine the same as the renault one? so it will be about 80hp too just renault didnt bother to update specs etc?

what about fitting the new manifold to a pre 04 engine? anyone done it and is it worth it? costs involved?

ive got a mate who can do all the work for me but hes never owned or tuned renaults so doesnt know anything about them, hes a vauxhall man

new engine is different uses a different throttle body and ecu so you wont be able to change any of the bits

bollox was kinda thinking that because its got the ECU behind the battery now and feels quite a bit different to drive from mine, that could be down to millage though.
