Adjustment Of Carb Settings When Adding Rampipes

[fliprio 9]

I have finally gotten around to bolting on my new filter and 60mm rampipes, assuming they improve airflow over not having any rampipes, have people found the fuelling/carb settings needed adjustment?

It’s in need of a RR check up reasonably soon, but just checking if people have had issues when bolting on rampipes.

Anyone done this?

 

The filter just about fits behind the slam panel

make sure you have enough space from the trumpet to the filter.

60mm trumpets, 90mm internal space, I think they recommended 19mm clearance, so 30mm should be fine

I'm tempted with the idea of using Aldon's new ignition ECU, its been quite successful on mini's and its got to be better than the standard dizzy I'm running the moment

I've no experience with that unit, but whilst I'm sure that it would work, taking the timing signal from the dizzy seems backward to me when you've got a Motronic 60-2 flywheel there which would give far better accuracy and less scope for drift/change over time (eg following a cam belt change).

 

Plenty of ignition-only ECU's on the market that will be well known by mappers - eg Omex, DTA etc.

Plenty of room for a huge filter with some mods :-)

Given a tight budget the attraction is that they are £180 on eBay at the moment, I the cheapest ignition only ECU I found was nearly double that. I think practical performance car magazine might be doing a review on it soon.

 

Agreed that its not going to be as good as something like a DTA but its got to be a lot better than the standard 1.9 GTi dizzy on the GTI-6 Engine
