SLEEMAN Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 could you not use a 2.0 ecu on it?? either that or go bike carbs/ throttle bodies and go for the likes of a megasquirt lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 would that not overfuel and cause borewash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLEEMAN Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) unsure about that to be honest but got to be another option to consider if the 130 ecu don't work? but haven't you gotta consider that the 1.6 is underfueling the engine making it lean?
