Engine transplant..help please

[RICKY132]

I have bought a 1.2i nova and intend on fitting twin40s and a race spec 13sr engine into it. a few ques.

Does the original throttle cable fit 40s,or what do i need?
Can i fuel the 40s using the signal point injection set up?
is the pump in the tank and if i done away with it would a mechanical pump work wiv the existing fuel lines?

The carbs use a sepial linkage designed for them. You'll have to use a basic cable on the linkage will will codt you a fiver.


Can i fuel the 40s using the signal point injection set up?

No. The fuel pressure will be to great. You will be fine running a O/E carburated fuel pump, which runs off the cam (located on the drivers side of the engine).


is the pump in the tank and if i done away with it would a mechanical pump work wiv the existing fuel lines?

Yes. The original lines will work.

Thanx for your help,one other thing,does the 1.2i have an ecu.can i just disconnect it,were is it.
to disable tank fuel pump,is it just a matter of removing a fuse or will the tank and or pump need removed or changed?

if he has 1.2i pump would it not be beter to just fit a regulator, surely a more constant feed then, and less hassle swoping tank/lines over

1.3sr has the fuel pump on the cam lobe, no hassle just some more fuel hose to the twin 40's
