[Josh_535]

Hi people does anyone know if the t45 dhla45 carbs will fit novas and also wat manifold would i be wanting for these??, or twin dhla 40's?? and if anyone has got any for cheap would be interested, im running a 1.2 so would these fit?

many thanks

45's are WAY WAY overkill for a 1.2

[Josh_535]

does anyone no wat 40's would fit then?

Keep going, it's a 1.2 lol

Can 1.2's actually be made faster? I thought they were the pinnacle of 8v engineering.

They are well nippy for a 1.2. Fast as **** never been ragged, lost the V5 and keys, FSH at my nans etc.

err yeah, 40's

with the right inlet manifold

[mk1nova_rich]

use the same manifold as for a 1.3 engine, assuming your 1.2 is a carb engine anyway. They will overfuel, this cant be avoided but the sound is immense. PM boffer8 for more info :d

they wont overfuel if setup right :wall:

can you run twin 40's with dhla carbs? and if so anyone got a mani for it?

can't choke/jet the carbs down enough for 1200s. My mate boffer8 gets terrible MPG from his setup.

dhla carbs are twin 40s lol, if you need to ask questions like that i would do a bit more research first before thinking about fitting them :thumb:

[Josh_535]

yer i know lol i have only just got onto the engine of my motor, so twin 40 dhla's will fit aslong as i get the right manifold?

[mk1nova_rich]

yes, you will want one designed for the cathedral ports. the Nova Sport manifold is your best bet

[Josh_535]

sorry to ask but wat is cathedral ports?

[mk1nova_rich]

all the 8 valve heads have different shaped inlet ports, the 1200 and 1300 carb engines have a cathedral-shaped inlet - squared bottom and arched at the tops :)

would you say this is right one : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/irmscher-inlet-manifold-weber-40-carbs-vaux-nova-sport_W0QQitemZ180488053425QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_C arsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item2a05ed22b1# ht_1090wt_958
many thanks

thats the pony

[mk1nova_rich]

you should be able to pick one up a bit cheaper than that. Another thing to watch out for when fitting carbs to a 1.2 is the alternator needs lowering with a special bracket (or drill a bit of plate and lower the original bracket) and a longer tensioner arm needs fitting.

[Josh_535]

What jet do you reckon i would want on these as dont want to be over fueling to much

[mk1nova_rich]

couldnt tell you matey, search boffer8 and send him a PM. Hopefully he will give you a bit more info with jet and choke sizes :d

[Josh_535]

ok thanx every1 and will pm him in a sec :)

[mk1nova_rich]

no problem mate :)

[Stuart]

Josh, give Wilshers garage in Orwell a call, Peter (cant remember his surname) will be able to set them up RIGHT so they wont overfuel and will run great.....

you CAN get T40's(weber or dellortos) to run fine on a 1.2 if the person setting them up know what hes doing.

Its worth noting that finding someone who knows exactly what they are doing with webers is tricky so finding someone who knows about dellortos (your DHLA carbs, although I'm confused how youve gone from 45's to 40's in no time lol) would be trickier.

[rubachuk]

Correct on the above, I took mine to a place with an ace reputation for setting up sport 40's (Webers), they did a terrible job on my Dellortos. I did better over the phone with the guys at eurocarb lol

Any reason you're looking at Dellorto rather than Weber?

[jord4n]

Got a manifold you need here pm me if intrested.

eh? dhla are dellortos and dcoe are webers any pair of either will fit your nova but to be honest put a 14 sr engine in and you are probly going to get the same wild horse power:wtf:
