which carb

[novaboy_southwest]

what is the best carb to run on a 1.3 sr performane wise that will be cheap to buy

[ade]

think a weber 32/34 will fit. Not sure though

[Euan]

yeh i just put a 32/34 on mine (after a lot of fuss on my part).

its not tuned and the timing is all out but still noticing a big difference. especially in the noise :twisted:

[novaboy_southwest]

how much would one of these cost me

[mikeoxford]

especially in the noise :twisted:

what filter you running out of intrest?

[Euan]

mine cost ?90 2nd hand.

the k&n 1 for the webber.

thinkin bout changin it to the ram air 1.

[novaboy_southwest]

i know u can get twin webber can u get a single one and then would i just put a k&n on the webber i am useless in the engine department

[Euan]

i think the webber 32/34 dmtl is prob better than a single 40 for what you would need.

its a 1.3sr engine that i'm running mine on.

you can get a k&n or other different types of filters for the 32/34.

but i'm sure sum1 may have a different idea(S)

[novaboy_southwest]

mines the same engine how much would this lot set me back new and what diffrence does it make power wise

[Euan]

think its around the ?200 + new.

unsure bout power gains seen some people saying 6bhp and sum a lot less.

[novaboy_southwest]

not really botherd bout power as long as it sounds sweet

[dathers]

for the price of a brand new weber 32/34 carb (over ?200)you could buy a used 1.6i gte engine and have about 30bhp more than your SR now.

where would i get a 1.6 engine from and who would fit it and how much would that cost

[Euan]

depends on what u want to pay for insurance etc..

[novaboy_southwest]

well seen a 1.6 SV vauxhall engine what sort of engine is this i mean what does sv stand for that was ?200 i have been quoted just over ?1000 for a gsi which i think is a 1.6

[mikeoxford]

i am running a modified 1600SV and it keeps up with most things :D

its basically a carb engine out of an astra or cavalier, but it had an ECU :? :o to control fueling ratings and igntion timings, dump all this and fit carbs and a cam your laffing :D

[novaboy_southwest]

say i was gunna get this engine would it be simple to dunp what u said

[dathers]

16SV is a 1.6ltr 8v carb engine,about 90bhp.?200 is too expensive,unless its got 30000miles or something.
Keep an eye on the for sale ads on here and on www.migweb.co.uk and you will be able to get a nova gte/gsi E16SE fuel injected 1.6ltr 8 valve engine with gearbox,ecu loom and anything else needed to make it run for less than ?150.
Install it yourself,its nothing hard,its just heavy work.
Where are you,if your near manchester i could give you a hand fitting it.
