Default differences between 1.4 efi head and 1.6 efi head

are these two heads different - the vlaves look smaller but have been told the two heads are the same

reason im asking is because unleaded fuel will be limited shortly in RSA
and ive seen a efi head with 1.4 stamped on the side that has valve inserts that i may want to use

with carb heads the 1.4 ports are loads smaller than the 1.6 i'd assumne it was the same with efi heads


what fuel are you intending to use if you are lacking in unleaded??

i'd hazard a guess and say any efi will be ready to take unleaded just as they are over here

Even the early heads will run comfortably on unleaded. My run about car is a 1985 Orion Ghia I with an 81 cast head (original factory head) and has been happily running on unleaded for years.

Have a look on www.pumaracing.co.uk/cvh.htm there is a lot of good information
