[Behr]

cheers, i cant get bloody parts anywhere :( not even Vauxhall

[garyc]

What do you need?

[Southie]

Put what you are needing in the wanted section, someones probably got parts you need. :thumb:

[Behr]

i need an accelorater cable as ive stuck a twin choke wbere on and my cable is different to the one i need.

[garyc]

I think if it is a standard 1.3SR replacement throttle cable then the only place I found to get a cable was Vauxhall for around £35. Otherwise try a MK1 astra 1300 cable (eBay is the best palce) then cut it and add a suitable nipple etc.

[GRUNT 16V]

how about a astra mk2 or even a cav mk3

[jimbob-mcgrew]

what does the B stand for in the 13sb, i thought carbs ended in V

[Jack]

according to the engine code guide


B = IBC (Inverted Brayton Cycle, in laymens terms, the recurculation of gasses)

I'm sure 1300's were just 13S as well

[garyc]

No they are definitely 13SB. Astra's and Cav's had the 13S engine. From what I have seen though there is very little difference (apart from inlets and carbs etc). I thought the B stood for higher CR from the TV magazine.

[jimbob-mcgrew]

fairly sure the first letter after the numbering is the comp. ratio, like 14'N'V or 16'S'V & 16'S'E.

i think jacks right, but i havent a clue what he's talkin about lol

[Jack]

^ it is.

Just checked the Nova engine codes, no 13S; so yeah thats probably an Astra etc engine.

[jimbob-mcgrew]

the IBC would probably be better suited to the XE, and it needs branding as ' irritable bowel cyndrome ' guaranteed to crap yourself with one in a nova.

edit : that wasnt funny was it... just ban me allready.

[Jack]

That would have been funny if

a) "syndrome" was indeed spelt with a C. Its not.
b) XE novas were fast. They're not.

Oh dear lol


[edit] Unless you mean crap yourself because you don't know whats going to fall off next lol

[jimbob-mcgrew]

you syanide eating....

[Spudly]

you syanide eating....


Fail again, that one is spelled with a 'c' lol

[jimbob-mcgrew]

dammit, none of you got it, dont worry lol.

anyways, back to mateys throttle cable, wont a 1.4 fit ? they run the same carbs, same attachments ?

[Spudly]

Yes a 1300 and 1400 cable is the same item iirc, as we fitted one to novafusion's saloon the other weekend when we fitted a 1400 SR engine:thumb:

[garyc]

Yeah but can you get them new from a factor? If yes lets all have the part #.

[Sloth]

guys upullit at york have a astra mk2 with the 13s engine in their breakers yard. everything is there for the engine, and it has a new rad on it too. carb is a 2e3.

[Behr]

weber is buggered so no need now. couldnt even get a cable from vauxhall

[garyc]

Whats wrong with it? You could flog it to me if the proce is right. PM if you want too.

[Behr]

one of the valves is sticky and its jetted up wrong for my car, and just general wear and tear its an old carb, plus its not mine to sell i was borrowing of a mate.
