wildejon 7 Posted December 13, 2006 Sorry if this has been covered before but I have a new 1.6 afm and a working ecu sitting about after my engine swap. I was wondering if I can happily run my 1.9 with the 1.6 afm and ecu? That afm was working really well and it seems a shame to waste it! Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
futura 3 Posted December 13, 2006 it will run but you won't get the right mixture for the 1.9 engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattmk1 0 Posted December 13, 2006 it will run but you won't get the right mixture for the 1.9 engine. I ran this combination quite happily for a month or two, and the car ran and performed quite nicely. It did cause fairly poor mpg though. Ive now swapped to 1.9 items and there is a big all round improvement in the car, as i beleive the 1.6 items cause the engines to run rich at low rpm.

pug_ham 245 3 Cars Posted December 13, 2006 Using the 1.6 ecu will make it over fuel when mixed with the yellow 1.9 injectors & as said it won't be as intended from the factory. What dizzy are you using? Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildejon 7 Posted December 14, 2006 Using the dizzy that came with the 1.9, I guess its different to the 1.6 one? Using the yellow injectors also. Thanks for your replies everyone, very helpful, I'll get my 1.9 one fixed instead I guess I'll be selling a pretty much newly reconditioned 1.6 one soon then, shame I won't get anywhere near what I paid for it! More fool me! Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 245 3 Cars Posted December 14, 2006 Using the dizzy that came with the 1.9, I guess its different to the 1.6 one? Yes, they have different advance curves & balance weights. Post the number up if you can to check it is a 1.9 one. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest srack Posted December 14, 2006 last time i used the 1.6 ecu the car ran must faster (due to more fuel on low rpm), but it did take more fuel per litters (gallons over uk) i do not think that using the 1600 afm on a 1900 engine is bad, actualy, if you fix the spring as it should (use euro4 machine) the car drives the same. some people mentiod that 1900 is different, well, how than? by the spring? this can be changed. whats realy the different? can anyone put his finger on it and say the differents? cheers.
