Hi Iann,

Very rare bit of kit you have there. Where did you find it?

What info do you need on fitting?

[craig green]

At a guess (I'm aware of the kit btw) you will need to change the fuel lines etc & maybe the tank, wire in the loom & relays etc. Most of it is fairly self contained.

You can turbo charge your 1.3 easily now!!!

hmmm maybe about 10bhp more than std... so that will be more or less STD power as your engine is likely to be worn etc.

I think it was quoted on Ebay that it gives something like 100bhp on a 1.3,Lol.

Ye, id agree with about 10bhp.
The SRI engine, with basically the same type of system, even with bigger cylinders, and a better head makes about 82ish bhp.

Basically, you need to fit the inlet with the throttle body etc.
Then fit the loom and ecu.

[Stuart]

Speaking from experience :plol

[mowgli]

the opel corsa version of the nova sport had the injection system as an option, so a gm service manual may help

Not unique I'm afraid. Courtenay did a handfull of 1.3 turbo's using that injection system.

^^^they did indeed & courtenay (back in the day) used to supply & fit off the shelf kits to turbo SR's whilst still retaining the carbs!
