    please explain why you want to fit the spi stuff to a decent engine? is this for a competition class? if not, chuck it away & stick to a carb.

    What's the reason from going from a 1.2 to a 1.3?

    Seems pointless, the 1.2i injection and ecu will be so restrictive, as it is on a 1.2.

    precisely.


    a 1.2 spi has about 45hp...
    a 13sb, has about 75 hp on a good day.

    why stifle it?
