as some of u no, im running a 1800zetec in my mk1 xr2!!

ive got rid of the 40's i was using as they werent very good, now i have the choice of 45's or bandit 1200 bike carbs

nev @ F1 motosport will be doing the conversion to bike carbs if i go that route as his a good mate of mine and did the original zetec conversion!!!

his jus put bike carbs on his 2.0renault engine thats now in his 340 volvo and they look the absolute bollox!! he will be making the manifold etc himself!!!

im undecided what to do, what u guys reckon??

cheers

 

my mate has built an 1800 zetec mk1 fiesta track car that was in classic ford magazine & he experimented with all sorts of stuff now he's running bike carbs or throttle bodys im not too sure but he is very confident with them plus he's running 210bhp with a quafe box etc, i'll find out exactly whats done tonight

 

excellent cheers mate!!! i maybe able to afford brand new 45's if the bonus at work comes thro, but ive heard good things about bike carbs, not needing setting up as much etc!!!!

 

45s will just be a bigger (read slower airspeed, crap part throttle) version of your not very good 40s.

Go for the CV bike carbs. Bandit 12 carbs are quite good as they already have a TPS for what ever management you will be using to control the ignition.

I would recommend a megajolt unit to control you ignition. Can be had for about Ł100. A real bargain.

I have built/tuned a couple of bike carb conversions now and they drive so much nicer than 45s.

 

id need somebody to map the bike carbs if i went that route, is this something you could do mate???

 

If you buy a megajolt there is a whole load of ignition maps on the net that you can download and try.

Two secs looking found some here for a zetec engine.

You would have to je the carbs using a wideband. I could do this no probs but you are a fair way away.

 

Thats great that is- do they make it go any faster?

I'm glad you see my point

 

Bike carbs are ment to be the tits and can be had for less than Ł100.

 

Why dont you give up on the turbo lump and let me build you a bike carb conversion??????????

I bet rob hasn't done much work on your lump since the 1 series came along?

 

I want to build (when time and funds allow ) a C16 XE (Corsa GSI) lump on bike carbs for the Nova mate

Spoke to Rob yesterday to tell him his burette had arrived, he said he had the crank back from Baz and he had spoke to Lindi is it? about helping him to put mine together

 

looks like it will be bike carbs then!!!

cheers fellas

 

Why does he need help putting it back together????

You wanna me to do it?
