Does It Stay Or Does It Go?

[Guest steveontwin40s]

Hi, i have a 1.6 gti with twin weber 40's on but im having problems with it and and want to put it back to standard.

Does anyone running carbs have any tips for me before i start unbolting them!

on carbs its about 125 bhp, what cud i expect from it running injection with mods?

Ta!

first off, 125bhp just using carbs isnt really much help.

 

What problems do you have?

have you had the carbs balanced?

have you had them set up correctly for the engine?

125bhp is quite a big figure, so i would be interested in knowing whats been done!

hi, well 125 was after a tune up with srd motorsport in launceston, the chap there knows his stuff, as i know it has only been fitted with the carbs and stuff to make it run with them, the engine ect is standard, it also had a standard exhaust system which i have now changed to 4 branch and only one box.

i had problems with starting and genralo running up till 4000rpm, over that it would pull well, if i was tracking it all the time it would make sence but as i want it more for road use i want abit more drivablity.

I have now removed the carbs and found the inlet manifold gasket had failed on cylinder 4, a new gasket may solve the problem but still living with carbs seems 2 much like hard work, a tune up every couple of weeks, no thanks.

I now got the injection stuff except AFM!!

I v heard that with a cam on standard injection makes quite a differance and poss 1.9 injectors??
