Hey,
ive got about $3500 to spend on my engine rebuild. I want it to be all legal so i have ruled out twin webers. My original plan was to get the bottom end bored to about 1800cc, then get 10.5:1 comp pistons, work the head (oversize valves etc) then puton a efi manifold with a gas research carby on run on gas.
However i dont think $3500 is enough. ??($2000 engine, $2000 gas)
. SO i was thinking should i
a) get the head done (with a cam 2 suit gas)($800) then get tyhe gas put on ($2000) with an exhaust ($300).
or
b) Do the bottom end and head ?($2000) and run the standard carby for a while and save for the gas (i dont think the engine will run to wel cause of the cam and high comp for gas??)
any other suggestions?? (im am keeping the 1600(cause i cant find a good G200) |

twin carbs are not illegal in QLD! You can put on whatever carbs you want... as long as you meet emmisions that were required of your vehicle at the time of manufacture. |

Most twin carbs will NOT give you legal emission levels. The jetting and venturis are designed to atomise fuel and meter at peak efficiency when the butterflys are full open at hi revs.
Never heard of anyone running a clean exhaust or achieving good mileage out of them on a street car. |

Hmmm, interesting, firstly, gotta love Queensland, secondly if you are putting twin carbs on your car you *probably* don't care too much about mileage Alan.
Definately something to look into for my pending performance build.

My twin 40s returned 16 mpg (approx 6 km/l) . CUGem gets even less with his sidedraughts????? Enjoy.

right. but also something I didn't think about. the carb shop said its not only carbs responsible for this. any sort of a performance cam is probably going to blow your emissions as well, especially hydrocarbons. |

I haven't measured it yet but I used about a quarter of a tank on the cruse. I'll be pessimistic and say 20l, no say 30l. I probably did around 300km by the time I got back. so that's about 10-15km/l or 7-10l/100km. really rough. put it another way, i don't really notice that much of a difference from the nikki, now that I know how to drive it efficiently. |
