Go watch an expert tune the carbs & have him explain what he is doing & why.....pay him exrta if you must. Turn some screws under his tutilage....or it's 6 months of hit & miss + insufficient info from books. I did it the latter way...just happy I didn't break anything (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Yup me too. My 1.7l with original D jet ran SOOOO great. Well I wasn't happy with that so I put in my very modded motor with 44 IDF's. Yup ran so so and required constatnt tweaking. Started to run really good. swapped intakes and 40 IDF's. Coll now I get to do more tweaking and a bunch of head scratching and cussing.

Got it hauling ass Litterally. So I put the car back on jackstands and decided to weld up some shit.

Hope to be ready for race next week (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)


Britt. WTF are you doing now? I coulda set up your whole motor for you if'n you learn to comunicate. and or LISTEN. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/poke.gif)
