People on carbs

What size chokes are you running?

CC? Where did it make the power? And what powerband are your
cams

Thanks

 

im running twin 40's on a 1.8 motor.

they are 36mm chokes

power as seen below

 

Thanks for the reply Is it otherwise standard ?

 

folwed head and oettinger inlet cam
4 branch and powerflow system

 

1.8 16v.
45 webbers with 36mm chokes.

4 branch s/sprint manifold and magnex system.
175 brake,never got a torque reading unfortunately.
but ive never noticed this coming in at 3.5k lark

 

Love the car riley My next car will be a mk1

I've just bought 36mm chokes to my modified 1.6 8v [headwork 280
cam etc] on 40s and wondering if they will be too much, bearing in
mind they don't flow hugely more than a 34mm choke, and not as
much as a 36mm choke in a 45

cheers m8
if you were on 34's before,i think your possibly going to see a slight difference mid-top???
not entirely sure tbh m8.
also theres trumpet length that you can change for diffarent torque/bhp curves.
mine are longish...

Yeh i run modified 90mm jenvey trumpets which seem to be doing
the trick [i have a very short inlet manifold] have to see how i get on.

I've gone from a standard engine on 40s to one with the 280 cam
with 11mm lift and kent vernier and also a shedload of headwork inc
reshapped combustion chambers etc...

look about the same as mine m8
good luck with the transplant.

 

I've got my carbs ready to go on in the next couple of weeks, just have to work out how to make them fit with the custom inlet manifold.

And I'm waiting for my shorter trumpets velly

 

my new pipes are 60 mm long, fitting them tomorrow
