I know there are many who run this set up.

Anyone had problems with it on hills/slopes??

Or almost as good as MPFI??

And WAY better than carby.

It should have no problems on hills/slopes, as the problems inherent to a carby setup on angles are non existant with fuel injection of any kind.

mate i ran this on a 1.6 in a sierra and a 1.3 in a sierra and also on a 1.3 supercharged sierra, never had a problem at all, let alone side slopes.


great thing is it can be had for cheap and makes a huge improvement.

cheers mark.


ps... the vitara 1.6 singlepoint manifold bolts strait onto the sierra head.this is good to know if you do not want to pull the throttlebody off as they are different gaskets, although i guess you could always silicon them.
