Which dizzy for running twin carbs on a C20XE

[Novasport]

Does anyone know which dizzy to use for running twin carbs on a C20XE engine?
I am sure I remember someone saying a Mk2 Cav 1.6 was needed, I assume its a big block 1.6 dizzy.
Can anyone confirm this or tell me which is best, also what engine code its from or even better a part number.
Is there a guide to fitting carbs to a C20XE anywhere?

Yes its a big block dizzy from a carb'd 1.6/1.8
1.6SH comes to mind.

get megajolt or megasquirt and have mappable ignition

get megajolt or megasquirt and have mappable ignition

why tho lol, all that money for nothing lol

dizzy set up (?25-?100)

[andy_srt40]

because the ignition curve will be much more accurate than one from a significantly smaller engine thus releasing more horses

[Adam]

What he said/\
An old single carb 1.6 engine ignition curve isn't really suited to a Twin 45 2L 16v lol

Contact H&H Ignition services if you still want a dizzy set up, they have various different packages to suit.

I have their 'twin carbs and cams' dizzy on my XE Nova, which runs fine and is plenty powerful, but after driving a mates XE on throttle bodies and MBE managment his was a lot smoother and better low down the revs.

Dizzy set up is still fine for me tho!!

god luck trying to find one of those ignition set ups as well, they are like very gvery rare now

A Dizzy setup with carbs on an XE isnt ideal, but on a budget a 1.6 Cav doe's the job.

I find the dizzy ideal, as I'm either full throttle or no throttle in the car.
Its sep up for max advance, so at full wack its timed perfectly.
