well ppl hows it hanging? haven't been on a while so i thought id ask a question to start back, thinking of moding my car cuz buy the looks of insurance i'll be keeping it for a while, just wondering if u put injectors of a 1.4 into a 1.1 will it make a difference or will it destroy the engine?

Hello...

Well it depends on whether or not the 1.4 injectors are any bigger than the 1.1 ones - they might not be.

If they are they'll squirt more fuel in and your engine will run rich - yay.

why do you want to put bigger injectors in? What have you done to improve airflow in order to need more fuel.

In any case, if the injectors are different (which I doubt) and you have modded the engine, simply upping the fuel pressure will have the same effect and will be free! Borrow a pressure gauge, check the pressure, then squash the std tin regulator with a g clamp until you have the pressure that you need!

None of this will improve performance, you need air to mix with the fuel!!!!!!!
