I have found a swift 16 valve head and complete tbi setup has anyone used this combo?
Are there any problems using the 16v head on a 1.6 will the tbi run the 1.6 or will it run to lean?
Are there any inherant problems with the swift tbi?
Will the valves clear the 8 valve pistons?
Cheers

If it were me, to save hassles with valve-piston clearance, dizzy problems etc, I'd be looking at putting the TBI setup on the head you've got...

Being that they are essentially the same motor, there should be no dramas with over fuelling over anything else that I can see...

you will need to change to the 16v pistons otherwise they will hit

I have mine the other way with 16v pistons running a 8v head and nothing hits, low comp. pistons thoe with a big dish in them
