LET power is coming home

When i find the right engine for the right money, or i'll build one

yes it would be totally possible to ditch the crappy air flow meter... you would need aftermarket management as you said.

and then there is no point in using standard injectors is there

what do you gain by getting rid of the afm? are they as bad for going wrong as they are on most vaux engines?

£250 IIRC i have no idea weather that includes the sensors or not tho...

The only thing to ever go wrong on mine was sensor after sensor and crap wiring due to the loom being ancient and all the rubber getting brittle etc.

Replace all that for new sexy loom and make sure you make all the wires not rub on any other parts etc id say youll have trouble free motoring IMHO

still, do it though. and dont worry about the afm, its not really a major problem tbh

standard brake of an let is plenty for a corsa the problem i'd concentrate on is getting the power down, if i get another one i want it to be a standardish engine with good grip?
