Weapon R manifold on a 1.3 idsi?

Hiya so what the title says, is this possible? It'll have an s90 TB and apexi short ram twin cone pod attached with probably the weapon r header and cat pipe. Worth it?

Not worth it unless you are going for ultimate top end power which you indicated you were not going for you wanted more low end power. And it MAY hit the extra set of plugs nobody has done one to know for sure.

Even if it fits, it will hurt performance of that 1.3L

That Mani will require a re tune. It does significantly change the VE beyond what the stock ECM is happy with. There is a loooong thread about when these first came out, and the person who got best use out of one had to pull a lot of fuel for some reason in the low end to make it work

So I think 13fit is leaning towards him needing to have a tuning solution... Also, the WeaponR race header and IM were good for around 12whp on a un tuned car with a L15 initially back in 2007-8. It's kinda a funky design though, long runners and not the roundest plenum... Better for NA than FI, but still not ideal.

That 1.3 has such a different design in the head too, that I have NO CLUE how this would work out that car

Well if that is the case ^^ it MAY work for him as the ISDI engine is designed to run real lean (part of the package for best mileage) but again his stated goal is for better "take off" performance not high RPM.
