Hi folks,

Just a quickie, recently acquired a little 1.2i for next to nothing, and while I get others bits done to it before I chuck a new lump in it, how easy is to convert to MPI.

The MPI unit is from an astra and is complete.

Cheers for having a look.

any input on this would be great im fitting a 1.6 gte engine to my 1.0 and was wondering what way to do the tank , althow im looking at buying a facet feul pump and having it in the bay .

an MPI spec external pump needs to be as close to the tank (or swirl pot) as possible as its gravity fed (they dont suck well lol)

a 1.2 carbed lump would more than likely be a better starting point for MPI'ing a 1.2 as the inlet has mroe chance of "matching" (even then its gonna be a pants match)

sell the MPI gear lol
