Main thing is, if it goes wrong at least I should be able to fix it.
If the injection stuff packs up I wouldn't even know where to start.

Going to be in the same boat as you mate .... I am starting with the modern injection route .... Gonna be B*****d if it goes wrong at a later date
Could write all I know about injection systems on the back of a stamp

I assume the shape of the inlet ports on the injection head are all about air flow .... Being as you are using carb, I doubt there will be quite so much demand for such a smooth air flow.

You may find that the carb is a little under jetted for the extra 200cc though .... Guess you won't know the full efect until you give it a test drive mate

dave when you come back bring the injection stuff and i will learn you how to do it

if you cant be bothered then im sure i can get you a session down ATSPEED on their rolling road to set the carb up proper so it dont go bang.

failing that i could always sort you a megajolt and bike carbs.

Now there's an offer he can't refuse

EFi is simple.

I hate Carbs. That why I have fitted a Polo GT 1.3 Injection engine to our MK1 golf. I could not get it to run well all the time on the carb. 1st time I ran the EFi lump after a year out of a car it fired up and ran spot on.

Better beleive it....


Cheers Ash your a mate.
Did tell ya I don't do lektrix.....

I know the coil is OK coz getting a spark with the 1800 stuff.
I know the wiring is ok to the TFI thingy.
Coz I pulled it all apart and checked it with the digi.
So wondering if I bu*****d the black box.

Simple for you. I've spent 2 days on the bloody thing.
Just don't make sense why there is no spark.

Got a spark first hit with the 1800 stuff.
It's just a poz/neg and the 3 wires to the Halls....done!!
With the injection,I just got a mass of wires with no idea where they all go, or what they do

Me to......
Getting fed up with looking at a garage full of bits.
Not one of my better ideas to do a rebuild.
