what webers on a 1.2 standard?

[novafling]

just wondering wht kind of webers i could put onto my standard 1.2? no chance of any kind of turbo ones?

[Philsutton]

cant see why twin 40s wont go on, would be interesting to see some on a 1.2, also i think a 32/34 will go on.

[Stuart]

what kind of idiot would fit T40's on a 1.2......... oh hang on lol.


anything has to be better than the pierburg piece of crap that vaux in their infinite wisdom fitted.

[novafling]

so i could put t40's or 32/34 on it then? whats th comparison, can anyone tell me about th t40's ? the speed and power of them both? how easy would it be to fit them ontoo a standard 1.2? would i have to change anything else? coz i only have 4speed. cheers.

[Snowface]

hold your horses novafling.

You won't need to change the gearbox or anything else other than the inlet manifold, throttle cable and the actual carburettor.

The 32/34 DMTL will give you about 5-8bhp from the standard 1b1 pierburg. (You will need a 1300sr inlet manifold)

and the T40's will increse power by about 15bhp (seens you only got a standard exzhaust and cam).

32/34 you can get sorted for second hand about ?150-200 (u need a diff air filter, 1.2 won't fit).

T40's will be about ?200-300.

[novafling]

any way of putting turbo onto a 1.2?

[Snowface]

where ther's a will, there's a way.

will cost ?2000-4000 from courtnay if they can do it.

[novafling]

holy s**t, maybe not then!

[Jack]

You could probably butcher a turbo from a R5GTT or maybe vaux diesel... but don't expect it to last long :P

[Adam]

Just go for the Weber 32/34 carb.
Its the best for around ?100.

[Jack]

Or you could try picking a 32/34DTML up from a scrappy dirt cheap (remove the weber tag, hehe :wink: )... ebay quite often has them pop up and go for anything around ?30-75.

T40s you'll be looking at about ?200-250 second hand, or about ?600 new (carbs, manifold, alternator bracket). Of course to get the best out of both you'd be advised to spend a few extra quid on a RR setup.

Deffo check ebay, some bargains go on there,
look here, ?10 with inlet manifold(1.3SR)/adaptor plate etc

[novafling]

[benji]

next to none.

the 1.0 carb and engine is not as tunable or worth while trying.

Be cheaper to get a 1.3sr engine for ?50 and stick in there.
