malyso 0 Posted July 21, 2008 Is it really necessary to fit a dizzy off an 8 valve to an MI16 when fitting bike carbs and still using the standard ecu? I know its probably been asked but I can't find the answer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ORB 227 1 Cars Posted July 24, 2008 Think about it! you dont need an ECU as that is there to controll the electronic fueling of the car via the injectors. You will have no injectors as you will be running carbs! You will need a dizzy/coil to generate a spark. The MI does not have a Dizzy, so the nearest one to use is one off a 205 1.9GTi Hope this helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 75 Posted July 24, 2008 i wouldnt bother with a 8v dizzy, just do the proper thing and put mappable ignition on it. I can recomend Megajolt from my own experiance. Smoother, and more power/torque. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted July 24, 2008 If swaping from the GTi6 injection, I doubt very much you will see any large gains at all, If going mapable ignition you may as well use the std ECU with TB's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malyso 0 Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks guys, Will be on a budget, and as i already have a 8v dizzy it looks like that way will be favourite. Am guessing i do need the dizzy adapter off the bay of e to fit it though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
