When i fit mine i'm converting it to SU. Got the manifold done already, facet pump is sat on the dining room table.

Swap the 1.3 distributor onto it and wire up same as the old 1.3.

Makes life easier, keeps it simple.

thats exactly what my mate said''keep it simple''
will the su fit onto the spi manafold?
or port out the sammy manafold..i can use the vitara gasket to mark it and use dremil?

Isit just wire a live from ignition to ecu and earth it?
whats the pros and cons?
thought a su would be better than spi?

Spi better in winter for sure and better on fuel. Not so good underwater though :D
