Just out of interest, what does the "Twinport" mean

i believe its an extra port jet or sumthin in the carb that injects more fuel into it when going up a hill to stop it lagging and choking. thats what the fella at lookers in pensby said to me anyway

id like to know,does anyone know?? i think i heard what it was once but ive forgotten

Av heard the same as this.

Twinport technical data quoted from auto express site

"Vauxhall has also developed a new system for its small petrol engines which increases efficiency and enhances economy by up to six per cent with no loss of performance. We sampled the Twin Port technology in a prototype Astra ahead of its spring debut. The test model had the same 100bhp 1.6-litre credentials as the existing car, but its separate valves open and shut independently

according to throttle load. This creates more efficient combustion, as with petrol direct injection, but is cheaper than these expensive and complex systems."

Seperate valves? maybe meaning that it can open 1 inlet valve on its own when it wants and both valves when pushed?? same with the zorst valves maybe?

Sounds something like that; a fancy way of saying an interligent 16V system

Picked up my Piperx vector kit on Friday, only to find they have got me a VX220 one, they said it will fit and be alot better for the car. LOL

Where do they find these ppl,

For starts

1. DUSNT FIT
2. SOUNDS GRAP
3. WANT MY MONEY BACK
4. So just gettng a Normal Pipercross. (when it cums in)

never heard of a vector before.Tell them it has to be the one for ur engine as one built for a 2.2 will be too big for a 1.4 and RUIN throttle response not improve it.Ensure u correctly sheild whatever u get from the heat,or maybe just get an element and drilled box?
