old nova 1.3 and 1.4 engines say before 1991, also astra had a dizzy. you will need the coil and amplifier also.

Just been having a little look into this for my car. If I did it I'd use Megajolt with a Ford EDIS coil pack. It doesn't seem all that complicated or expensive to pull off...

Seems that it's only Megasquirt that's compatible with GM. Megajolt only works with Ford. Would be a tad overkill using Megasquirt just for ignition even though you can and people do...

about £4.5k on audio so far
£1.5k on my alarm
the rest on cosmetic bits and bobs:

wheels / springs / exhaust / tints / leather seats it soon adds up

gees, people are so harsh sometimes on this site.

Get the R1 carbs on there. If you have the ignition setup, its a simple bolt on job and easy to wire

You've basically got the jist of it,although i would imagine you'd be alot better buy a £200 sri 130 to do this to,not going to get much of a gain on the 1.4,just a shit load of fuel. You can even chop the original manifold in most cases. Fit the carbs,choke and throttle cables(probly have to bore the jets to suit but i cant imagine you would need to for the 1400).Your best bet on fueling is to use an original r1 pump,pre 2001.Electrics wise,scrap the ecu and coilpack,you'll need the dizzy,coil and amplifier of a similar engine size vauxhall.The loom should only really include the switch live,earth and speedo to the coil.Also your thermo stat wire and connect your pump live to the switch live,best to just remove the old pump and put the r1 pump where your fuel filter sits. As of gains i'm told it could produce anything from 15-25 horses on the 20xe. Think theres going to be a rolling road at crail sunday,hoping to get mine tested and find out the true gain. Oh and with a 4-1 and decat it sounds sexual! Anyways like i think has already been mentioned,give bogg brothers a shout aee what the recommend for the 1400 if you really want to stick with that. Good bunch of guys who are more than willing to give tet advice over tet phone
