corsa carb swap

[dtm]

lads n lassies,

i was wonderin will a corsa 1 litre carb (or similar) fit onto my novas 1 litre head?
its not for higher performance reasons i just reckon it might idle/start better in bad weather with the automatic choke.

thanks :wink:

corsa 1litre is a 3 cylinder DOHC engine, the nova one is a 4 cylinder OHV engine

they are TOTally different and it cant be done :/

does DOHC stand for Double or Direct?
i never remember.

as far as im aware no corsa rolled out of the factory with a carb on it

yeh but a rather large group of un-informed people think that because the TBI system (mostly called SPi) used in the corsas and low end novas looks kinda like a carb - that it is one

infact all youve got as a standard throttlebody injection system where the fuel goes into the engine at the throttlebody rather than right at the end of a tuned port (TPI used on higher end vaux engines and sometimes called MPi)

its got a butterfly and an injector, not all the usual shite in a carb like jets and float chambers :wink:

s**t in a carb like jets and float chambers :wink:

shut it injection boy! :lol: :wink:
