[QUOTE="LittleWhiteWagon, post: 4465311, member: 82139"] 1. Imagine yourself cycling on a bicycle, gear 1-6.Theyre all ngam for your body, then tiba-tiba I go change all the gearing 2x smaller (7-12) which was meant for a stronger person, but youre only meant to go for 1-6. Get what I mean?... I think you'll go even SLOWER than the 1.3 gearbox but maybe more mileage cause of the longer gearing. 2. Dunno cant help you here bro :hmmmm: 3. FC I have no idea, but you have to budget for this. Wiring harness, ECU, intake manifold, air filter, whatever sensors needed e.g o2 sensor at your extractor etc. etc. Power gains? I doubt more than 5. You might as well go swap your carbs over and have some fun with it. You want real power go swap the engine to a bigger one, not just convert EFi :biggrin:. Then you'll feel you got your moneys worth. 4. An exhaust is nothing more than piping which extracts wasted gas. If its the same engine size, and you dont change the size of your exhaust, why should your performance be affected? :hmmmm:| 5. Yeah expired engine oil in a vacumn container, your friend makes a LOT of sense. Whoever heard of expiry dates on NEW engine oil? :stupid: Opened bottles yes, moisture goes it, dirt might go in, but NEW ones with the seal still on its ok. Use google on simple things like this. Its more reliable than your friend :driver:. If engine oil DID expire, dont you think EVERY ENGINE OIL maker would have a clearance sale to clear the nearly expired ones? No sense lah. Un-used synthetic oil expires. Well you know what they say, it takes one to know one. Your friend must have a lot of 'nothing' as well in his head :biggrin:. [/QUOTE]
