Cant seem to find an answer on this so I'll ask here.
I intend at some point to graft on some bike carbs to an old xsi inlet I have, granted I know they dont use individual inlet tracts but I can sort this easily enough.
What I believe what I will need is the following
:
4 bike carbs and jets suited to the engine (1.6 8v)
rubber connectors to mount them on the inlet
throttle cable modifications
sausage filter
Fuel pressure regulator and maybe a return line to the tank
However I cant see to find a definitive answer to the question of spark. Can I leave the coil pack in place and let the ECU control the spark, and just unplug each injector so they arent firing but the head is sealed? I gather aftermarket ECUs are available to do this function such as megajolt etc however if I can get something working on the standard gear i'm all for it.
Does anyone have experience of this in their own car?
thanks in advance
