		Subject: Enging Tuner || New Question Sender's Name: ian farrell Question: hi can i use a cross member of any sierra or does it have to be an xr 4x4 when its done do i just put it in for a mot or do i have to get it checked over by someone else Answer: You have to use the right cross member, as they are different on the 4x4. It wouldn't hurt to have the car checked over by a suspension specialist, someone who can set the tracking at least. Maybe even Kwik Fit if you're really pushed...
		Subject: Enging Tuner || New Question Sender's Name: Bill Brown Question: Hi, my 205 GTI 1.9 has a 270 Cam fitted and I am just about to fit twin weber 40\'s. My understanding is that a lot can be gained by fitting a mappable ignition only ECU, have you found this to be the case, I am considering the OMEX 100, do you have any experience with this unit. Thanks Answer: Hi... only a little experience of that one in truth. Personally, I'd use a Superchip Icon, as it will work fine with your original system, and will give two dimensional mapping, which is all you need. The 205's suffer from a poor ignition curve, and it will benefit all round.

You need knowledge and equipment to tune these, so I'd suggest you find someone local to you who can do it. The result of getting it wrong is a blown engine.
		Subject: Enging Tuner || New Question Sender's Name: Mick Question: Hi Alan A month or so ago i asked what you thought of running my vauxhall 1.6 16 valve ecotec engine on motorcycle carbs The engine is currently running with the standard ecu and loom from the donor car 1995 Vectra it is currently feul injected and fitted in a 7 type kitcar i am wanting to fit Yamaha r1 carbs but what about the ignition,as when i renove all the injection and fit carbs howw do i keep the spark? any feedback would be great Thanks Mick Answer: This is where it gets tricky! You may be able to utilise some of the original components, but you'd need some form of ignition control, as you won't have the primary sensors. Omex or MBE do stand alone ignition systems, which would be fine, as long as they are set up correctly of course!
