Hi,
I've got a 1975 1.8 that still runs pretty good but is getting tired. I am tryng hard to keep the car original so I would like to keep the fuel injection. When I rebuild the engine, am I limited to staying stock (for purposes of keeping the fuel injection) or are there some things I can do to get mild (or better) HP increases and not have to carburete? Any ideas would be appreciated. John |

backdate the exhaust to a '73/'74 2.0 or install 1.7/1.8/2.0 SSI stainless steel heat exhangers
if in good condition, re-bore to 96mm to get to a 1911 (Jake Rabys shop can do that and supply the pistons) not too much more can be done, the AFM does not like wild cams..... |
