1.6 gte conversion

[novaexplod]

ive got a modded gte engine to into my 1.2 j regd nova, ive got the gearbox with the engine and have ordered a 2 litre brake kit.i wos told my 1.2 is an spi engine so it is a straight swap as the mounts are concerned and i wudnt need to change the tank or fuel lines but shud change the fuel pump. wot else am i gonna need? :roll:

ne1?? :(

wud be an idea to get a complete exhaust off a GTE or GSI. the fuel pump will work with the engine but itl lack some power with the low fuel pressure

you dont need anything else really

i had a mate who is running a 1.6 16v on the standard 1.2i fuel pump and was getting 175bhp on tbs. the fuel pump will be fine

Many people on here say that the 1.2i pump isn't fine and they do loose power. The 1.2i runs at 0.7Psi and the GTE/GSI runs at 3.0Psi i think. Or is it Bar?

The GTE is a Multi-Point Injedted engine as apposed to yhe 1.2i's Single Point so it needs more fuel period.

think you will find its bar mate :D

i thought it was but i was trying to imagine on a foot pump 3 bar seemed quite a lot of pressure.

does the tank for the spi have the swirl pot ?
