Advice Please!!

Recently came across a carb conversion kit for my mk1 8v.

Kit comprises of:
2 x 38mm carbs
2 x fuel pressure regulators
Machine polished inlet manifold
throttle cable and all the gubbins for fitting.

What i need to know is will i gain anything from the expense?? car will be wrapped up in bed until may next year so will have plenty of time to get it hooked up, just wanted to know if you wise people had an opinion on it?

cheers dudes

got an 8v k-jet would have put carbs on if id been told before i rebuilt the engine!!! there a pain to set up ive been told every 3 months if you want the performance all the time webbers especaily! the italian ones delroses or something like that are ment to be more reliable but are hard to get right a quick chat to torque of the devil may be worth it??
whats evry1 eleses opion>??

i think its a great idea, it'll be perfect as ur car isnt a daily driver.............it wont matter that u have to adjust them a few times a season

just think of the clout!!! u'll get a horsey increase if set up properly!!

BBBBRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPP!!!!

oh yes............bring the noise!!!

£550 for everything i need??? does that sound right??

How many horsies are we talking?

Sounds great dude... i think Lordy means Delorto which are Italian carbs.... if you want performance maybe go for a bigger set up i.e... 40 or 45mm t/choke webers.....

waiting on an e-mail with carb details! well tempted!

Coincidentally, they do the same kit for the 16valvers! but only 500 notes! looks crazy with those Huge trumpets sticking out the front!

£550 for the complete kit is a good price dude i think the carbs must be worth £300 + each on their own????

yer i rekon go for it, stunning mark 1 to be doing it with! and the sound BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *change gear* BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

it wont be too bad setting them up so often, when they say that its not like starting from scratch setting them up again, its minor alterations, or dyno timmme!

you crack me up sir D.D

38's are to small like vrbrew said, you need 40's or 45's.

fitzy, you can them new for £250 each so you is out a bit my man.

i had a caterham 7 with twin 40's on it,and if you drive like miss marple you will get reasonable mpg,but boot it (which you will once you hear them sucking) it'll empty your wallet quicker than a wife and 6 kids, ie A507 from Shefford to the A1 at junction 10 which is approx 5miles = over quater of a tank of juice......

joe

spoke to the guy and he says that the carbs are FZS1000 T/Choke carbs.
Only FZS1000 i can come up with is the Yamaha FZS1000 motorbike.

He says the float bowl angle is perfect for the 1800 8v.
I am not that bothered on super power increases so will be more than happy with the 38's.
They look the badgers nadgers in the pictures!

Just wanna be sure this guy isnt some chancer thats lashed together some old crap

i have come across an engine for sale on flea bay that has the carbs fitted. says the engine pulls well!

what do u reckon? motorbike carbs ok for the golf??

gotta be done surely!!!

just for the trumpets and sound!!! moohahah!

dude its not advice you need......... its persuasion....... GO FOR IT!! .... DO IT!

Guy on CF got bike carbs to work on a 9a so go for it!

Loved the induction of my old Webbers (turpets in filters) on the Notch, were louder then the exhaust!
