MB15 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) You wont need the ecu mate if using carbs? Borg bros do a manifold on their site for bike carbs ect , mite be worth a Google Tain Show this year mate? Edited February 1, 2014 by opeldvd11 Quote

Retro Power Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 R1 carbs plus a cavalier 1600 8 valve mechanical dizzy recurved to suit the xe. carbs need jets drilling. I have that setup on an xe of my own (I didn't do it, I bought the car that way) and to be fair it makes 210hp flywheel and has a great torque curve. Was set up by Russ Lyons at Torque Tune. I would always go for throttle bodies and aftermarket ecu if I were planning the job. Using the motronic for ignition seems a bit of a bodge. It would technically work I'm sure, but no idea what timing it would run as it would need the airflow input etc, almost certainly would be in limp mode at best. 1 Quote
dynamytedan Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 ive got a nodiz unit to do the sparks with , programable maps,bluetooth , uses gm sensors and the tps from the bike carbs , you can add manfold pressure and air temp sensors also . i havent heard of using the standard ecu for spark ...it might not be perfect the way it is as you cant change the advance to suit carbs .
