Hello boys and girls, What you think of twin 45-s on a 2.0l 16v 9a engine? Engine recently built, balanced bottom end with all new internals,head ported/polished/skimed with 260-s pipers, new guides and tapets. Will they extract more power than ke-jet set up and how will drivability be afected? Not bothered about fuel consumption and the fact that they have to be set up often. Any advice/info much appreciated
sounds like a good set up, you will see loads of power but i feel you should get more torque over a k-jet. welcome to the carb club
sounds like it could be an awesome setup, have you got it all running at the mo on the k-jet, it would be nice to get on the rollers too compare both setups
anyone read what dave walker said about carbs recently...... he had a tuned golf engine in that a respected tuner had advised fitting carbs to, and it was shyte
sounds good to me if the carbs are in good working order they shouldnt need constant setting up m8... and the drivability depends on who tweaks em for ya prof,what happened with dave walker?
who set them up 4 him...wot was the full spec of the car???? sorry 4 all the questions but we need to know
Dave tried messing with them, but was very dissapointed, and thought it was a huge waste of cash however he does sell ecus and injection kit, so he is hardly going to rave about carbs
For a start - he never said if it was a valver or not! He also gave real patchy info and it was in comparison to spending a fortune on TB's and management like Caterhams etc - this month is more of the same. I feel that the remark that the Golf owner was advised to "Bung a set of carbs on it by a tuning expert" was prob tongue in cheek - then he admitted his stock of jets and emulsion tubes are now non existent and he got it "running half ok". Hardly a great tune! Case closed
I'd keep the k-jet as it's free, and take it to stealth. carbs may make a little more torque somewhere in the rev range but not everywhere.
Engine not in a car, cos it was written off by an uninsured driver , so cant compare any figures over k-jet, just wondered if carbs would be able to supply more fuel than k-jet or ke-jet? Surely engine will breathe better through carbs and if they will supply more fuel it should see power/torque gains over k-jet? Oh, and it would deffo sound better
k-jet will also supply enough fuel, carbs are just a less accurate way of fuelling, they are a real compromise, but can still work pretty well. if you get the carbs cheap and have an old boy who is a wiz with jetting carbs handy then go for it, otherwise the k-jet will be the best cost/bhp compromise.
just like i have, Tommy (the guy who set up my car) is well know through out s.wales for his carb tuning. If he doesnt know it, its not worth knowing
