thrasher 0 Posted June 11, 2008 my son has swapped his r1 carbs for a set of dellorotos,i can get the inlet manifold from ti motorsport,has anybody got this conversion or done it to the tu engine? any info would be a great help. cheers gus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnygoodhand 0 Posted June 11, 2008 I originally intended to go this exact route with my Rallye. The Dellorto's I had were DHLA40H (I think) and I too went for the TI Inlet Manifold. When I took all the bits to get fitted (to a local engine specialist) I had a bit of a shock. The engine mount needed to be cut to accomodate the manifold and the specific Carbs I had were 'emission type'. I'd never heard of this myself, but it was explained to me that they were originally meant for a larger engine and would be pretty much impossoble to have them running well on a 1.4 TU. In the end I opted for a pair of DCOEs and a Sandy/Colin inlet & engine mount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonnygoodhand 0 Posted June 16, 2008 why didnt you get it re jetted? I haven't got a clue when it comes to these carbs myself, and I just went on the advice of the garage (perhaps rather naively) who fitted them and ultimately ended up flogging me a pair of their Webers...

( i forget how you label the cylinder heads.) You can pretty much tell by looking at the stud pattern which head its for. you also need to figure on how badly you have to cut the engine mount away. i had to cut off a lot of the alloy arm, in order to get my inlet manifold to fit. a bit of a bodge really.

The TI manifold is for the 1.4 Rallye/XS head. As for the engine mount, TI seemed to think that the amount you need to cut away wouldn't be a problem (well the would say that, I guess...), whereas others who saw it later weren't so convinced. The top 2 pics here: http://www.goodhand.co.uk/rallye/missing-images.html show the manifold fitted, together with a pic of the engine mount freshley cut!
