if your gonna convert to a 1.2 singlepoint injection you wont be "tuning it" youll be taking a step backwards as it has less BHP!

you could try multipoint injection, although thats un heard of an a 1.2.

theres some irmscher 1.3 injection systems about..... try one of them?

dont bother; only injection system that fits is the single point system; as mike says theres no gain. fit a weber carb or two, some head work and gsi manifold and a zauster instead. if you want to be experimental try multi point system off 1.4 sri or but i don't think it'll work and seems pointless anyways.

ok, im guessing that a weber carb is different to the standard carb? how much will it cost? could i fit it myself?

as i said:

dosent matter which way you put it! the 1.2 injection has less bhp than the normal carbed 1.2 !!!!!!!!!!!! FACT

the BHP of the 1.2i is comparable to that of a 1litre *apparently*

and as for weber carb

youll be wanting a weber 32/34 DMTL
or a pair of weber 40 DCOEs

all with an inlet manifold to suit mind.

don't even think about putting a 1.2i in, or even a 1.4spi.

U need to fiddle around with all the electrics and ECU and crap.

Just tune the 1200 a bit or put a 1300 in. Much more pwer to be had.
