Post by hamer » Fri Apr 26, 2013 10:24 pm

how much work is involved in puttin this engine into my sammy(non injection)?
i have done the 1.6 8v non injection into my brothers the other week was straight forward

When i fit mine i'm converting it to SU. Got the manifold done already, facet pump is sat on the dining room table.

Swap the 1.3 distributor onto it and wire up same as the old 1.3.

Isit just wire a live from ignition to ecu and earth it?

Spi better in winter for sure and better on fuel. Not so good underwater though :D
