Location: Burnley, Lancs | Defo take the arb off, I had to do this when I coverted mine and you can get them in without having to take anything else off it's just a case of wrestling them in. You should only have to fit one pipe? Just fit the injection feed pipe, the carb feed pipe is the same as the injection return pipe. |

Location: sittingbourne, kent | No you will need to use a vvc ecu, you can get loom conversions so its plug and play if you hate wiring.
PM AdrianSi very well recomended for loom conversions

Location: Hull | Hi All,
I have managed to pick up a 2001 MGF VVC as a donor for a 1995 R100 1.4 8v Spi Car, the Spi is very poorly as the engine is tired and old.
Reading this forum I can see what bits are used to do a VVC engine conversion but can I take the MGF gearbox (drive shafts etc.) across too and what bits of the MGF suspension can I use?
I'm assuming that I can use the engine wiring loom and the ECU(reprogrammed to get rid of the BCU link) off the MGF in the R100?
I think it is a 143bhp car; I know that I will need a 52mm TB and a better air induction system to take this up to 160bhp, but what else is needed. Does the Engine management system need changing.
Thanks for any guidance in advance.
