manifold swap help please nova gsi

[roo72roo]

hi does anyone know what carbed manifold will fit a nova 8v gsi engine please

[mowgli]

none properly from vauxhall........


you might get the carb & dizzy set off a 1.4, if you can find one...

or you try & find some decent twin 40's & a manifold, but its big money

whats wrong with the injection system??? cos they are way better, and surprisingly easy to fit, if you have all of the bits..

[John]

Agreed, why would you want to bin the excellent injection system for a carb? unless you're an oval/grass racer?

[roo72roo]

just fancied a change to a big 2.0l twin choke webber, if i find a manifold that fits the engine get the tig welder out then there we have a gsi with a 2.0l twin choke that will go like a f****** rocket

I bet the tuned injection system would see more power than a bodged weber.

[mowgli]

no, it will struggle to go any better than an injected one, & waste twice as much fuel, and you will need a different distributor & coil, and they are getting rare....

But if thats what you want to do, then have a looky at a mk3 astra spi 1.6, but it will not be quicker.....then you need to blank off the EGR bit on the head, and sort out a non injection fuel pump

thanks for the reply guys, some good points made!

Injection much more reliable and fuel efficient , in multipoint form decent power.
