Default Stable vacume reading on carb per cyl?

I have just bought a mega jolt mappable ignition system for my carbed zetec

It has a map sensor built in and was wondering having 4 carbs, thus 4 vacume pipes, If I link all these together will I get a stable enough reading?

Or should I pipe them into some sort or accumulator / mini chamber like a soda stream bottle, to try and dampen the pulses

Cheers Bri.

I could tell you.... but I don't recall selling it to you




































Oh alright...

Interconnecting the cylinders is a good idea - as is restircting the diameter of the pipe leading into the sensor

you need some bike carb balanceing gauges....they are used to adjust the linkage to all 4 carbs so they open at exactly the same time and are good for finding probs ........

they have little inline screw valves to dampen the pulse so you get a steady reading

They will sync the air flow through each carb - but will do nothing about stabalising the vaccum itself....
