The standard ECU wouldnt cope so you would either have to do some experimental siamese port injection or drop back onto a carb and use something like megajolt for the ignition.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I'd be more concerned with the state of the shell on an MPi though |

I think its easyer to ditch all the ecu, injection etc and put a carb and mj on.

Shouldn't be a problem getting it through an MOT emissions wise if you're friendly enough with your MOT tester. On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:

changing the lump is easy eniugh, but you have to piss around moving thre alternator or rad, due to the block.

Yeah, chaning the lump is fine...however, changing the engine number on the MPI lump to one that falls into a lower emmissions class isnt....

You could seriously consider Megasquirt and Jean's siamese code,,,, at least you won't have to build a completely new inlet manifold as some of us have done :)

canny...i was hoping not to have to cut the bulkhead on it, basically the car will be run as stock and i will accumulate the bits needed to go on, then once i have em all the mod will begin. ( if the car is as described by my good pal......to be fair it should be as he is of the anal rust busting type mini owner)
