Dear Team,
I really need some advice on direction to go here.....
Background.
Started a complete restoration of a 1989 Mini Mayfair in 2009. Thought it would take me two years (working for 5-6 weeks during the summers only on it). How wrong was I!!!!!
Now years later I have a problem that I have not been able to solve in the last 2 years..
I bought a 5 port injection system from SC maybe 4 years ago to fit a new 1293 rebuilt engine, mild head plus Sw07 cam lightened, balanced fly...The restoration has taken place on the south east corner of Poland...where we spend the summer hols...
I have had the system installed for 2 summers now..this one will be the third...However I have struggled to get the car running to a point where I feel I can drive it back. I have covered about 6 km..longest stretch 3 km. The injection system runs a base map that will see the car start but seems way off on fueling....I have contacted SC and asked their advice...they said to get it set up before driving it back......But who can do this? the software SX tune is something I am not sure chip tuners know here and I am not confident about this...
i tried one of the other maps on their site...the standard 1275. runs slightly better but still nowhere consistent enough to consider the 1700 km needed to get back to SC to set it up....
i know that others have had the running issues at the start with this kit as i have read about them here....
i am considering putting the carb and dizzy on from the previous engine back on? Is a 998 cc engine i think 1.5 inch su. the dizzy is from the 998 as well. would this run at all?
could this get me back to SC?
is there anyone else people know of who can work with sx tune? perhaps in Germany...?
thought about driving to hamburg and catching ship to Harwich..?
i could buy an hiff 44 and Perhaps the 123 distributor with the 16 preset settings? thoughts? is it easier to setup than the 5 port system?
last question. if i did stick on a carb etc. can i still use the mpi tank and electronic fuel pump?
really appreciate any advice...any suggestions?
thanks
