Default Sierra 1.6 cvh

Is the engine the same as the 1.6 found in the xr3 rst etc.? Has anyone ever bothered doing anything with this engine in a sierra?

Yes, but is carb fed IIRC in these? The XR3 was avaliable in carb, MFI and EFI, the RST was obviously blown and MFI.

You can tune them, but it depends on what your looking for?

1600cvh is a single point cfi engine, looks like a carb but isnt. I had a 1.8 cfi and it was fookin shite. Rip it out and fit a twincam/pinto.

Well I want to do a zetec conversion, but in the mean time fancy a bit more oomph so thought about fitting the rst bits and bobs, would it take much to convert it to injection?

It IS injected already, it just uses one big injector that looks vaguely like a carb rather than 1 injector per cylinder like most do.
To convert it to multi point injection would need new loom, ecu etc etc.
