Mine is a major project!! Fully modded CIH a little bigger than a 2.0L running full webber Alpha engine management on 45 throttle bodies. Lots of pics and info (and boring stuff!) on here http://www.theopelproject.com/ its easier than photo bucket for me as i do web stuff, so did the blog for the main part of the build over the last 3+ years. Be good to find out if you have any good places to get stuff for the A that i can add to the links page on the blog as i have a few but and new ones welcome. We will have to meet up and a show when we are both up and running?? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retromanta1972 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi Andy Not sure if links I posted are working . Have seen your forum and read it sounds like you have a task and taking 3 years will be good when it finally complete My conversion was 6 months in the planning and obtaining all the parts and 3 months focused on rebuild of engine and installation as only to get 1 day per week to dedicated to build Worst part was fuel injection system with engine management system not really easy to set up No reall help on the web on ecotec conversion lots of advice on forums but no real guide maybe something I will draft and post Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
