r1 carbed x16xe

[jabba dee]

do you need to run aftermarket management when running r1 carbs or not??

and what gains is there off running r1 carbs??

[Cheeze]

Yes you do as that engine doesnt have any place for a distributor mate, i used megajolt on my c20xe.

Not sure on gains but they are cheaper than a set of webbers

[jabba dee]

what kind of price we talking for

mani fold
management ??

just i know carbs are around 100

[Cheeze]

i think most folk use bogg bros for their manifold not sure on costs.

Megajolt can come in around the 200 mark, but then needs a bit of mapping to get it sorted. Abd then you need the EDIS parts from a ford, but thats a scrappy run

Have a look on http://www.autosportlabs.net/Megajolt_Lite_Jr. as that sthe site for megajolt

tom reid is the best person to talk to about this pal

manifolds range from £100, to over £200 for a bogg brothers one (they are pr0n)
megajolt is about £300 all in iirc, might be less though
carbs £100 upwards
R1 fuel pump £30-40
air filters, £40-£100 depending on what style you go for

its more expensive simply because of your engine. I'm putting bike carbs on a 1.4 SR, but as its already a carb engine anyway, i don't need to worry about the ignition side of things as the dizy will do

[jabba dee]

ohhh right i think ill pass on the whole idea then sounds realy expensive could get better gains out of a power box

Seconded, pm Tom and he'll be able to give you very good information and tips regarding the conversion ;)

[philip]

doubt you will get better gains from a power box...single choke or 1 choke per cylinder? ive got r1 carbs on my c16xe im rebuilding after stupid relief jammed but i should see 190-200bhp with any luck on my spec. so will keep posted once done.
