Ive seen 48s on an XE (martin Kelsons)
40s have been used too (Austin)
AFAIK 40s gave loads of torque but restricted the top end!

ah right so you can use 40's on xe's
what mod's do you have to do to the engine to put carbs on, seein as its injection?
Only need one fuel line no return, inlet manifold and carbs fitted, Ignition can be looked after with aftermarket stuff eg. alpha or just use Vac advance dizzy from a cav i think!
ARP rod bolts are reccomended, and aslo you will need a good fuel pressure regulator!
40s are ok on a xe.
45s are better tho.
50s probably overkill tbh plus they cost more to buy etc.
You can use a mk2 cav distributor/coil setup, not ideal tho, as the advance curve etc is not set for a twin carb'd XE.

Thats it Cav MK2 Vac advance dizzy!
Ive got a coscast head with one fitted, for to when i use the 45s i have!!!
Nitrous is a false economy on a road car IMO. Its a fantastic tool for the strip boys like Mr Sutton, and some of the nutty track lads such as Brummie, but on a road car, id rather pay to have the power always availiable rather than popping down the shops for a refill of happy gas every week!
lad few miles from me stil has removed the sfi box and put the later ecoteck induction pipe on and he is running 185bhp on rr.Originally Posted by craig green
The Ecotek pipe mod is just a cheaper way of making a power cap! What other mods for 185BHP??
hes had head work, cams, chip with arp rod bolts thats all i no. but it limits round near the 0 mark on the rev counter to and i think the power is quit late in the revs. wen i went in it i wosh shocked to hear the engine rev so high.sound awsome tho.
Needs to get some TBs o carbs on really!! Make the most of the work!
He should really limit the revs to MAX 8kRPM
