Are these as tuneable as they used to be? 4 branch, carbs etc...?

if you mean the sri mpi injection engine then yes, its a great engine to tune!
a big valved head changes them altogether

It's a carb engine, running a pierburg 2E carb, with an FSE electric fuel pump with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, I think it's a post 95 corsa engine

stick some 40's on it and a decent cam and springs, 4 branch manifold and system.

Would the weber 40s fit straight to the same manifold that the pierburg is fitted to?
