Fitting T40s

[harper73]

what do i have to alter or change when fitting them?

[Sirnixalot]

first thing you would need to do is swap out the "new thread" button for the "search" button

of course that being said t40 is too short to search for, if you search for carb you can sift through and find the info though

also long live the nova did a conversion not too long ago

thanks mate i was at them the nite and found that the altenator has to be alter just ordered the bracket just now should have it on the road the wkend

[benthehash]

take it you ordered the bottom bracket? you need to mod the top adjustable one! find another bracket from any size nova engine there all the same size chop em and weld them together to make it longer. then try and find a belt to fit can't remember sizes but people fit different sizes. some get away with the stnd belt just make sure it's not rubbing!

and do not forget the most important thing... a GOOD PROPER setup!

[Adam]

If your not going get them setup correctly dont bother fitting them, as you'll only blame the bad running etc on the carbs themselves.

Also factor in the cost of a complete choke/jet change if they aren't close to the sizes you need.

[harper73]

yeah it was the bottom bracket i ordered nd i got the adjuster with the 40s thanks for that ben

and they will be getting set up on saturday so its all good does any1 know how much of a power gain u get?

[Adam]

What engine on?
On a otherwise std engine dont expect to see a huge gain, it will sound quicker, but actual figures wont be that much more.
Maybe 10bhp if that.

Headwork and a good cam is where the gains are with 40s.

[harper73]

Its just a 14nz engine i've been told thats an sr engine?
Long Live The Nova Q: did u not put 40s on ur nova what have u done to ur head? I'll c if i can pick up a cam soon what would be the best cam to go for?

[harper73]

sorry do not know i am mate! but anyway can anyone tell me if i will need to put in a fuel regulator?

[Jon_nova1]

yes you will

[harper73]

Where will i get one?

[Jon_nova1]

the same place as you get the equipment, demon tweeks will do them, but theres alot cheaper than them ;)

[harper73]

what kind of bar do i need to put it down to? 3?

[Welsh Dan]

2-3 PSI.

2-3 BAR will damage the carbs and likely cause a fire.

[Adam]

The carbs will be "ok" with the mechanical 14nv pump and no regulator.
Better with one tho.
