carb and inlet

[slammed saloon]

i know the ports are a different shape but is there any possibility that you can dremel multi the ports on a 1.4sr inlet so it would fit a 1.2 head? as i have a 1.4sr inlet n carb i wanna put on my 1.2 cuz cant find 1.3 inlet anywhere. thanx

A lot of hard work!!!!!

You may be able to do it but if you make one mistake your pretty much buggered - just go to your local scrappy and get a 1.3 sr manifold - i picked one up for ?25. I originally had the 1.4sr one also.

Just get one of them and dremal the inside of the ports to remove all the years of cack. Smoother gas flow - apparently ;)

Cheers

i cant find one though mate anywhere!!! wat you mean by one mistake i was thinkin of gettin the 1.3sr manifold gasket n grindin the ports down to that shape?

it would take ages with a die grinder and carbide cutters. plus youd never get it ideal. so for the effort involved you might aswell get a 1.3 manifold....

smooth dosent always mean better airflow ;)

Indeed
you dont want your inlet manifold smooth/polished :wink:

actually no its not

ive compared gaskets and the 1300 port ends up outside the manifold boundaries on at least 2 of the ports

[rgv_stu]

all the ports are out iirc
the 1400 ports go in to the side of the valve and the 12/1300 go in stright inline with the valve
it really is a no chance job
buy the 1300 one from a scrappy ,theve only cost me ?5 in the past

Will the 1.4SR carb fit onto the 1.3SR manifold cos im runnina 1.4 one on me 1.2 and have found out from peeps on here thats y it runs badly at bottom end, so can i jus get (if i can find one) a 1.3 manifold an keep my 1.4 carb or do i need the 1.3 carb too?????

[Cassie-Nova]

1.3 sr and 1.4sr carbs are the same, Pierburg 2e3 carbs....

With a small exception of the EARLY 1.3's which i think ran 1eB Pierburg carbs.....

Anyway, yes, you can keep the same carb!

Quick question - I have a 1.4sr 2e3 and a weber 32/34 dtml sitting about - which would be best? I think i already know the answer but wana make sure!

Cheers

Weber is better, not to mention the manual choke is better than the auto on the 2e3.

Don't forget the jets are slightly different in the 1.3 and 1.4 2e3's.
