Technical Converting "S.P.I" to Carb

[Galilio_Mad]

hi all
i have a 1993 1.6 sx i.e.
i`m bored with my single point injection so i`m thinking about swapping it with a carb from a tipo/tempra, i know i`ll get the whole manifold+carb but what i`m asking for is :

1- will my ignition system work with the carb? i have a ( digiplex2 + distributor with rotor arm + coil lead attached to my battery base )

2-the carb won`t need all the plugs and cables that is currently attached to the S.P.I so how can i override them

any help will be appreciated

thanx


andy if u read this i just want you to know that i didn`t get a single reply on GC, thanx anyway

I thought the I.E was multipoint.

I have also heard my Carb being reffered to as an SPI (Single Point Injection) by Mechanics.

So you may have a Multipoint Injection System and if not you may just be going from SPI to SPI with a different looking set-up

If I am right (probably not or not entirely) then why would you do it?

And in answer to your question..... I don't know

hey trancendental

m.p.i in tipo`s is only in 1.8 and 2.0 versions
s.p.i is so much different from carb`s but you can say it`s a electronically controlled carb with some differencies in fuel spraying system
and the reason i want to make the swap is that i`ll get 12 hp`s more with the carb
you can check the specs for the tipo`s 1.6 and 1.6 i.e
you`ll find that the carb version got some more power than the i.e version

Oh seen..

But isn't the 12hp difference caused by the CAT?

I think it is caused by the CAT, and 1.6 with carb has 78HP (SPI 75HP):chin:

hi all

you mean that the converter makes my engine lose 10+ hp`s
i`ll be more than glad to remove it or i`ll even get a catalyc free exhaust
by the way, it`s not me who said that the 1.6 carb got 86 hp`s
i`ve seen it on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Tipo
they say that the 1.6 got 86 hp without converter and 78 hp with converter
so i guess that with carb and no-converter, i`ll get about 15-20 hp more than i have now

thanx all

I agree with that, but as its written thats for 1,6 1586cm3 . Thats 1.6 DOHC.
If you have that one I agree, but I think that yours is 1581 cm3 SOHC.


P.S. Sorry for bad English

hey guy`s
yes, my car is 1.6 SOHC, we don`t have the 1.6 DOHC fiat or lancia versions in our market.
i still don`t know if to remove the CAT or just leave it there
thanx

Removing the Cat and replacing with pipe will release more power.

My 1.6 Carb has 86 BHP (I think) but its 1992 before they started Getting CATS.

The 1.6 carbs after this had approximately 10 0r 12 BHP less because of the CAT.

The ones I am reffering to are UK Spec.

Don't forget you will need to change the front grille, the lights and the front wings
