Difference between hfx and kfx/kfw engine

[fleyh]

Hello there,
as i was not able to find the information that i'm looking for elsewhere in the web, i thought i'd register here for this forum seems to be a knowledgeable source.

So i got an '04 Citroen C3 1.1 with the hfx engine, as i'm in the process of refreshing the car a bit, i looked into parts numbers of the engine assembly out of interest and found, that the hfx and kfx share the cylinder head with the same valve sizes, same size throttle body, the air filter is obviously the same.
The clear difference is the engine's capacity.
I'm now wondering if there is a difference in these engines intake manifolds and camshafts, and if, if anybody could provide timing data on the camshafts.

I figured that, if the kfx cam has more lift and timing, one could get a bit of power out of a swap without giving up too much driveability in lower revs.

There was no KFW, or KFX engines fitted to the C3 MK I for this year (2004).

As far as petrol engines go, there was the HFX (TU1JP: 1124 cc), the KFV (TU3JP: 1360cc) and the NFU (TU5JP4: 1587 cc) engines.

Just for reference, engine/gearbox types fitted to the mk1 C3. Cant get the columns to line up properly but you can get the idea.

As far as petrol engines go, there was the HFX (TU1JP: 1124 cc), the KFV (TU3JP: 1360cc) and the NFU (TU5JP4: 1587 cc) engines.

So I've learned something. The info i found for the cylinder head similarities was for the Peugeot 206, which at one point in time had the kfx engine (i think). Since that engine has a similar power output to the 1.4 in the Citroen i assumed it's the same.

So there is still the question about camshaft differences between the HFX and KFX/KFV.
