Re: FI Conversion


Don't do it!  The Fi system was designed to run only with a 1600 with 
stock cam and heads.  If you start fucking with displacement, head flow, 
volumetric efficiency and cam duration, the ECU will freak out and the 
motor will run worse than a 1200!  Tread lightly when it comes to FI.  It 
was not meant to be customized...
