I'd like to make the car as economical as possible (my stock 3500S with 2 SU carbs did 29mpg on a really long motorway run) - would fitting EFI be worth doing? Can one fit an ECU?

Vauxhall corsa 1.2 twinport 2008 z12 xep - Poor performance 11 Apr 2021 (Forum)
After rebuilding the top end of the engine after a boiling and then head skim.the performance is very poor..pressure test reveals all cylinders within 5% about 180 psi.valve timing checked ok.new plugs and coil pack.new camshaft sensor. Just does not respond well to throttle. Tick over is a bit rough. Could the ECU have restricted the engine when overheated? I have replaced the battery for a new one so sat overnight disconnected. Any further ideas welcome.thank you. Mike -
