ORB 227 1 Cars Posted September 4, 2007 OK So, I rebuilt my MI before dropping it in the car. Now, since all I had was an MI16 head and bottom end, I thought I would re-build it. So I set off to work with that. I decided to drop it into the car, on a 1.6 box. My plan was to build a manifold and fit some R1 carburettors, I have now done both of these. Before I get around to putting on the Carbs on the engine, I at least want to see if the engine will run, but the injection spec I have plumbed in, does not fill me with enthusiasm. Here is a rundown. 405 Mi16 Alloy block and head MI16 inlet and Re-Angled manifold Mi16 Throttle body MI16 TPS MI16 Fuel rail 1.6 GTI air flow meter GTi Dizzy/cap/rotor (not sure if it is from a 1.9 or a 1.6)(not sure what to look for in the numbers) Dizzy adaptor (awaiting in the post) (hope its here this weekend as sunday is the next chance I will get to have a play) 1.9 injectors 1.6 brain no SAD 1.6 Fuel pump/filter As you will have gathered, it is on a 1.6 loom as I have seen no need to change as I only want it on carbs. Will this fire enough so that I can run it, all i want to do is get it to fire up, so that I know that it runs, and that it does not knock its tits off! Then, within an hour of having it running, I will start to convert it to the R1 carbs I do have a load more parts, if they would actually help the job.I know I have loads of Dizzy's (1.6 and 1.9 but cant ID between the two) Blue, red, orange and black injectors, 1.9 AFM (i think) various different TPS switches (1.6/1.9/405SRi) and a few sad valves. Any input would help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted September 5, 2007 yes that should run, but the fueling will be out, its best to use 1.9 injectors with a 1.9 afm and vice versa. you don't mention the ignition amp but either 1.6, 1.9 or 16v should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ORB 227 1 Cars Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks matey, yeah, its running the 1.6 amp How do I tell the difference between the 1.9 and 1.6 afm's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted September 5, 2007 Code on the black cap of the AFM, ending in '109' for a 1.9, and '056' for a 1.6 item. (IIRC) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ORB 227 1 Cars Posted September 6, 2007 dont know what the codes are but: 1.9 dizzy's have screw on dizzy caps and 1.6 have clip on caps. Hmm, are you sure that this is correct? My H reg 1.6 Sorrento came with a screw on cap as did my 1.6 G reg Miami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
