Some of you asked about the S1 pictured here. It's been on the back burner for a while, but I started working on getting it running this week.
I picked it up last year from a guy who had installed a 16V engine from an '86, but was in way over his head electrically. I spent about a month rewiring the front of the car and sourcing correct boxes and sensors before I put it on the back burner to finish the RS. It hasn't been in service for over 10 years. I had to replace the gas tank, but it will now start and idle (roughly). I know the CIS-E system, but it's been a while. I did a differential pressure test on the distributor and got a control pressure that was HIGHER than system pressure. Logically, this shouldn't be possible. Any CIS-E gurus here? Attached image(s) |

Nice looking car! That 16v have minislip?
Best thing you can do is to junk the CIS and convert to Megasquirt. VEMS is preferrable but more expensive... You can get 2.0 Digi 16v injector holders and they will screw in, if I recall correctly. Also, you would be very surprised at just how cost effective you can make a megasquirt conversion. I managed to put together a 52mm throttle body with a GM TPS, 6 injectors, coolant and air temp sensors for $20 from a local scrap metal yard. Tuning is easy as sin, and you can keep your motronic with knock control as well. The 1.8's have CIS-E with motronic too, don't they? |
