spi or mpi - majik82 - 01-09-2012
how do you know if you got an mpi or an spi? there are induction kits for an mpi and an spi does it matter?
RE: spi or mpi - Toms306 - 01-09-2012
Yes it matters. Pretty sure yours is gonna be SPi on an M plate.........
Easy way to check though would be look for the injector(s).

RE: spi or mpi - Toms306 - 01-09-2012
No problem, we all gotta start somewhere.
RE: spi or mpi - daddyfixit - 01-09-2012
look down behind the spark plugs, should see them down there attached to the fuel rail (metal pipe)

RE: spi or mpi - Toms306 - 01-09-2012
Thought earlier ph1 1.4s were SPi??
RE: spi or mpi - lewisdmz - 01-09-2012
I had an induction kit on my 1124cc SPI 106 when I was 17. I thought it was awessome, looking back, it sounded like a wet fart.
Knock yourself out though mate you will love it. BaRp.

RE: spi or mpi - Toms306 - 01-09-2012
Yay I was right.
RE: spi or mpi - puglove - 03-09-2012
Going to make my self look a right dick here but i know nothing about TU .
But WTF are you on about?
RE: spi or mpi - Toms306 - 03-09-2012
Single point or multi point injection.
Carbs didn't meet emmisions regs, but mpi was too expensive for a cheap small Pug so spi is cheap so thats what older tu's have.
RE: spi or mpi - puglove - 03-09-2012
Oooo see i knew that about the TU's aswell . You kids abbreviatios making me look stupid

It's actually scientifically proven that owning a Diablo 306, especially ph2, leads to major spastication of the brain.

Cheers. Always wondered...
RE: spi or mpi - Rippthrough - 11-09-2012
Yep, one great fecking big injector driven by a clockwork monkey under the ECU cover. Just randomly throws buckloads of fuel in and hopes for the best.
RE: spi or mpi - HDIkyle - 12-09-2012
Reminds me of the time I accidently left the injector unplugged on the 106 then shit myself when it would not start.
