is this a hard conversion to do???

im guessing changing from inj to carb isnt gonna be a straight swap.

is this worth the hassle? what is the change in power going to be like? im deprived and have only ever driven a 1.2 :lol:

Shouldn't be a hard job. You will feel the difference it will be from about 45 BHP to 90 BHP. Probably more than twice the power depending on how good the engines are.

conversion is reasonably easy

only hard bits are fuel system and ignition

you'll need the entire ignition system from the donor car

and u can either regulate down the pressure from the SPi pump or replace it all with a proper carb tank and mechanical lines

Thought you said SRI sorry! Put the SR in and then put the head of 1.3sr that will make it a bit faster.
