help - engine issues

[simonmarsden]

rite, basically, ive been told by the garage my novas at, that i have a 1.6 engine in it (meant to be a 1.2) and i need a new inlet manifold for it and a carb, what other vauxhall engines cound it be? or could i take the bits off that i need? any help would be appreciated

Do you have a pic of the engine

[simonmarsden]

sorry no :(

[Stuart]

if its a 1.6 gte/gsi engine then there is no single carb inlet manifold available for it.

[simonmarsden]

ive bin told its a twin choke or twin carb, think he said twin carb off the 1600 cav engine?

[Stuart]

a twin choke carb is stilla single "unit"

if they mean weber twin 40's then yes you can get an inlet but you need to find out what shape the inlet ports are

[simonmarsden]

it deffon dunt have webbers, its a single carb. looks like a standard one, just need to know what engines i can get one from, as so far ive had no luck finding one, i think its the 1.6 cav engine, does any other vauxhall use the same inlet and carb???

[Nazza's Nova]

mk2 astra 1.6 uses the same carb and inlet find the engine numbers that will help you alot or us to help u

[Adam]

Sounds like a 16sv engine.
If so, a 1.4Sr uses the same inlet and carb, Square ports.

Go to the car and look for the engine code, under spark plug number 4, on the top face of the block.
