I think you are looking for the Baleno inlet.

If you can fit the Vit injectors in there it should work. You'll want to check if the throttle body will swap over or you might get lucky and they both use the same connector. If you just swap the manifold and all the other stuff stays the same it should still work and the ECU wont know any different.

oh ok then ill have to look into it. so there was no nit with that style intake?

[Taff]

im curious.. why bother?

passenger side intake can be worked around

Also the baleno runs MAP sensor, not MAF. So you may bave a hole to fill up the back of the baleno manifold.

Vitara inlet mani is not going to work on a Swift head without some modification. The ports on the Vit head have a notch in the top of them that the injector (which is mounted in the inlet runner) fires into. You'd have to notch the Swift head out the same and also drill and tap some extra mounting holes as the inlet manifolds are different in that regard too.

Have a look at Wants33s recent post about 16v heads and you should be able to see the difference pretty easily.

the GV 1.6 efi also has the forward facing inlet manifold. Highway star has one

wouldnt the vit manifold be better for a turbo?

unless you run an intercooler

From a plumbing point of view I can see why he would want to use a mani with a forward facing throttle body. He can put an intercooler behind the grille and run a pipe from the outlet of the turbo into the intercooler, and outt he intercooler on the other side straight into the throttle body.
