(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Hi guys. Been slow with my car---the weather has not been co-operating with me very much and have not got allot done--car will be going to painters in about 2-3 weeks--
So as now to shift focus on my engine build: The biggy is carb setup--herre are the motor stats: *1.7 stock bore and stroke *Webcam 86 *custom turbo exhaust *Garrett Tb-03 turbo, 8-10 psi boost nominal--never, ever beyond 12 *short intake manifolds *Weber 40's with dual blowthru induction ( Like on the buggies) *Stock 1.7 heads --no porting--just angle cuts on the seats. *max rpm of 6500--if it will do it....more like 6000 nominal *stock domed pistons--compression reset to 8.0:1??? Now my delimma with the webers: They are all stock, 28mm vents, 115 mains, 50 idles, 200 air correction, and F7 tubes. What would be the collective knowledge on setting up these carbs for a good baseline: Go to: larger vents? What size? 32-34mm? what would be a good main size to start with? keep the F7 tubes?? Idle jet change?? Air correction jet change??? What about those idf update kits I see--are they really any good??? I may as well as get started on this pig now while I am waiting for paint and reassembly. TIA--- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
