Is it a 1.2 injection or carb

[novacraig]

injection y does it reali matter one it is and what is the best engine out of the gte or the gsi n what are the 0-60 time on them

0-60 about 9/10secs.
Yeah it matters, as injection means you will already have wiring for fuel pump, injection tank etc.

You will need swap the spi fuel pump with a mpi one.

Gte and early gsi engines are the same.

so it does really matter what engine i got they would still be the same and is there alot you can do to the engine to get the 0-60 down because i thought they was about low 9's and so i dont have to swap the wiring loom at all

sorry everyone about that is that better

[Adam]

Yes you have to remove the SPi loom, and wire in the GTe/Gsi engine loom.

Quite a tricky job to remove the Spi loom.

o lovely i really didnt fancy doing that the only reason why is becuase i feel the car is to slow really like overtaking and thing like that
