Twin 45's

[ant_tay]

ok im picking up a set of twin 45's in 3 weeks will someone please tell me exactly what i need to put them on my late type XE engine

[GRUNT 16V]

manifold / throttle cable/choke cable/ air filters/studs washers nuts m8/ different ignition set up a fuel regulater to lower fuel pressure

[ant_tay]

they come with the twin throttle linkage and cable i guess

what ignition setup ?
what choke cable ?

do i not need to change the cams to run a dizzy also what do i do with all the loom and sensors

[Ben]

you can use a 1.6 cavalier carbed engine coil and dizzy but most use some form of managment.

[ant_tay]

Thanks for the reply's guy's

Anyone else got anymore in depth info in the conversion maybe someone that has done it to the late type xe

[ant_tay]

what exactly do i need to get off the 1.6 carb cav to run then on my XE

[Ben]

As yours is the dispac xe im not sure if this would work as you usually just swap the dizzy and coil over and set the timing but as yours use's the dispac i cant see this working.

[ant_tay]

is it not possible to change the cams to run a dizzy

[GRUNT 16V]

is it not possible to change the cams to run a dizzy
yes just get the early one
as for the choke cable a universal item should work fine

For ease - get management.

Otherwise you will need to swap cams over (not a big deal) and spend £100 ish for the coil/amp and loom.

You can get MBE for around £150 second hand...

You won't need to worry about a choke cable as you'll never need to use choke once set correctly.

so the management would just replace the loom and ECU i have would it

?? You wont be using your old loom at all! :eek:

All that gets stripped out.

Sounds to me like you may be getting somone to do this for you right?

In which case, to keep the costs DOWN, ignition management is the way forward...

[ant_tay]

i wanted to do this myself because there aint anyone around me thats done itbut it looks like im gonna need some help

[Ben]

lol take it to newport and get it fitted in about an hour lol

[ant_tay]

that would be very nice if i could but i have to get all the parts first which is why i was asking for exactly what i need and still not had one clear cut specific answer

IT depends thats why!

If you go coil route you will need an early cam as well as the coil, amplifier and loom.

The rest has been covered.

[ant_tay]

gonna go with the non coil option so i got to get the manifold, throttle cable, choke cable, management, FPR and thats about it right

any sugestions on what management to use

[Will F]

Also need the low-pressure pump.

MBE is a good all rounder - but they will all be fine.

I think Webber-Alpha is quite cheap?
