some people say that a 1.6 inlet and injector would give more power, which i can understand, but would a 1.6 spi ecu make any difference?
i know this can be done on a 205 gti, put the 1.9 ecu on the 1.6
anyone done it to a nova?:tumble:

Keep your 1200 ecu
1.6 spi inlet
1.8 spi Throttle body
You could try a 1.4SPi injector with the above/\
Nova 1.4SR cam
Full exhaust system and 4 branch manifold, and decat.


I've fitted a GTE cam in mine, with a 4 branch manifold, full system and de-cat and got great results.
Probably added around 15bhp.

Ooo ye, the guide dont work atm.

Get the 1.8tb off a SPI cav, and the 1.6spi inlet off a 1.6spi mk3 astra.
