here is some pictures and information for R1 carbs that i put onto my c20xe

this is what the carbs look like the fuel inlet is in the middle underneath the carbs.



the best fuel pump to use is the r1 pump, it has a built in regulator. when you are wiring in the pump
make sure you dont mix up the wires because the pump will burn out! the earth is the black wire.



you will need to get a manifold made, these can be got off boggs brothers, i made my own manifold





you will need a altanator adjusting bracket, i made my own one



the main jets need to be drilled out to 1.8mm for a c20xe these are the middle jets.





for the ignition set up you can use a mk2 cavalier ignition set up or megajolt setup which is what i used.


wiring diagram


if you use megajolt you will have to move the new coil up so the plug leads will reach. i modified the old one



to connect the carbs to the manifold i used 42mm water pipe and jubliee clips





all fitted

what did you do with the water way???

[jonn]

i just blanked off the water ways, the manifold and carbs never really get warm so it still runs fine

[pandy]

whats the reason youve linked each port on the manifold is this a must cheerz

just to add - fuel resistant hose might be an idea for the long term

may i add, a cheaper way to spark zetecs would be the e.s.c module from early fiesta 1.1 a this is similar to ford edis. vauxhall probally read off a different number but if they dont then its a cheap way
