jakeyg Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 After spending a fortune in a spray shop this week I'm thinking power but easy..... How hard and what parts are needed to put r1/r6 etc carbs on my 1.4 sport lump ? Or is there any other way I can get good gains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper_GTI Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 As said, bogg bros will sort you a manifold. I'd be more inclined to go with a pair of weber 40's to be honest. It's easier to get them setup, spares/chokes/jets are easier come by and they just sound so much better!Look up lumenition. They'll be able to sort you out with the ignition side of things.Expect a nice big hike in torque and bhp, especially if you've got a decat/manifold.Another option, which may be cheaper, is to get a standard inlet manifold (i've got a metal GTI inlet you can have), cut the inlet tracts off and jubilee some silicone hose onto them, which you can then attach to a set of r1 carbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper_GTI Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I fail to understand why people want carbs when ITBs are better in every wayBecause of cost?I used to run webers on my old 20XE and the whole setup was less than £500 and coupled with cams and an SBD manifold i was 25bhp and 45lb/ft up on standard. Pretty good as far as n/a tuning goes if you ask me.You're looking at the best part of £1k just for the bodies, plus mapping time, plus management etc.But i do agree, on a fuel injected engine, throttle bodies are better in every way, other than the noise! ;-)I've never been in anything running bike carbs or bike bodies though...
