I have no idea what that lot are on about - Diesels are not, to my knowledge, fuel injected. Nor did they get to 180kph. They'll do 300,000km or more and just keep on ticking, but I really don't think they were speed demons.
Put it this way, I drove a Diesel and it was faster than the slowest petrol Gemini I ever drove, but it wasn't exactly exciting.
The engine you speak of, if it has got factory fuel injection, could be out of an Isuzu 117 Coupe. I saw one in a beaut black coupe - looked weird seeing a Gemini rocker cover in this sleek coupe! Wish the chick would have sold it to me... bitch.
Anyway, why would you want to go back to carby? You can get more power from less fuel with fuel injection, so if you can pick it up cheaply, then just fuckin go for it! |
