Not in a corsa but...



I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I fitted mine yeah.
You need 2 webber 45 DCOE carbs, 2 webber fitting kits, Air filters, fuel banjos, throttle linkage, inlet manifold, low pressure fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator. I fitted a megajolt lite to handle the ignition advance so I also needed a dizzy blanking plate, fiesta tps, escort vr sensor, escort edis module, escort coil pack, modified escort ignition leads, megajolt ecu and a trigger wheel that will need welding to your drive belt pulley. I fitted a choke cable which makes it loads easier to cold start.
You will also need jets and emulsion tubes to suit the size engine, fuel hose, jubilee clips and a laptop to set up the megajolt and load maps onto it.



All in, including rolling road setup you are looking at about £1200
Well worth it, if you have your inlets ported to suit the manifold you can see 195bhp.

yeah same as ste, i fitted them but mine ran on a weber alpha ignition only module. just plugged right in. i got my carb set up 2nd hand including fuel pump, reg, filters, trumpets manifold etc for about 300 quid back in about 2001 though. with some mild head work and a fairly large 4 branch i got 193bhp

I should add, the reason I had to get rid of the dizzy was lack of room. If you look at my second pic you will see.
You can keep the standard dizzy in a corsa but I think you will need to manage ignition advance independantly with weber alpha or a megajolt.
