A friend of mine has a 1.8 Zetec mk2 fez he's looking at fitting twin 40 carbs..
My question is it going to be worth it?
Will he see much improvement in power?
And will it be cost effective as apposed to camming his 1.8
Ect.
Or would there be a more suitable route to go down

Cheers Adz

 

Bike carbs are a cheap setup mate, I run fireblade carbs on my 2ltr pinto. Get them jetted properly and all should be good, quality noise aswell.

 

personally i would chuck in an extra Ł100 and fit a used 2.0 zetec first then put the carbs on that

assuming he fit it himself that is

 

Will make a massive smile factor when it comes to response and noise!
Dont expect to be doing 200hp!! But yes will definatly make a big improvment to performance,

I use to have a mk3 escort with an st170 engine,
That was running gsxr throttle boddies with dta managment,
Revving to 8.5k it was a but of a beast!
