Why not go for BC on your X16, only megasquirt required.

Just saving some pennies, then was going to contact you regarding the manifold and megasquirt. Could also do with knowing someone to get it setup properlyOriginally Posted by tom reid
I have a 16v inlet here waiting, dying to have a go at fitting/tuning one of these as I'll be using an x16 in the rallycar. I don't really believe that a RR is needed to tune, I run up the road with the wideband and tune where the engine needs it, might get more interesting when running megajolt.I'm having a few issues with fuelling just now, since i fitted the 290 deg cam, it's good throughout the rev band, getting a bit weak on full throttle and won't idle below 1500, very weak again, but I'll be playin later, I have a good idea that I'll need to put in a bigger needle jet, mess with the pilot jet and a few other bits, so still learning, but loving it!
Sound like your having too much fun Tom
As we know, the 1400 8valves are cracking so must admit I would love to get my C16 running on bikecarbs. It's all basically there as the engine goes i.e rebuilt, ported polished, uprated pretensioners and 284 sbd cams, but I've only wanted to put a standard injection unit on to give it a run it really :D
You can never have too much fun,, sbd284 cams?, will they run on std managment? You up for a learning experience as well then?, i'd be up for a go on your's.
Its all fun. Yeah I'm up for being a Guinea pig x2 for the bike carb experience
As for the cams could be the reason why I ain't got the bugger firing then
I was told by the lad I bought it off that he had all the standard pistons and had the valve pockets deepened. Is this the wrong set up for the cams then?
And would it affect the standard ignition setup???
I don't know the answers to your questions, I assumed that the 284 was the duration of your cams, and was just asking, out of curiosity, Lol, what do SBD say?
The man fromSBD, he say this...
The SBD 284 & SBD278 cams have been designed give about 15 -20 BHP* over standard cams, without compromising the drivability of the standard engine, they produce a power band of 2500 - 7500 RPM. They can be used with the standard pistons when the valve pockets are deepened. If used with Omega pistons & steel rods it will allow the compression to be raised. This increases the torque across the entire rev range and the steel rods allow the use of higher revs.
To be honest I haven't contacted them. Didn't realise the cams would have been a issue running on standard ECU setup. I will give them a call late :D
I will PM you Tom when I have sorted the problem out and then I can arrange so bike carb tinker time
Edit: Cheers for that Tom +rep
IMO you may aswell fit a big block 8v on 40's to a F13/F15 box with std shafts. More power at the end of the day & the donor engine will likely be cheaper.
Personally I love the early 18E injection engines.
