 |
|
After a couple of days of the carby being in the car I thought I would tell you how well it went. After installing the carby you could tell the difference straight away It would accelerate a bit faster in first and second but the real difference is in the upper gears. It now pulls a lot easier from about 1000 rpm in all gears especially 3rd and 4th. After experimenting with how well it went I found you could drive UP hills in 4th gear at 40km/h which is about 1000-1200 rpm, where as before the revs would keep dropping and it would ping its head off.
I also found out my car is now quicker than Subaru Libertys(automatic 2.5L N/A wagons anyway). I am very happy with this mod and would recomend this mod to everyone. |

| If it would ping its head off, then you probably have too much timing advance at those revs. |

what i have in my tg at the moment is a stock nikki, but with larger jets from a g200 in it. it doesnt sound like it would make much of a difference, but as the carby is in a1 nick, the vaccuum secondaries and bigger jets seem to work well together, and it goes like stink.
maybe im just lucky.
