1.3 astra mk2 carb? any pics?

[bigbened]

just seen one in the scrappy which i beleive is a webber 23/34. just want to make sure that it is this and not the standard one.

am i right in thinking that the inlet manifold will fit my 1.2 carb head,

thanks

The inlet manifold will fit your head. I've got no pics of the original carb, but if you take the filter off, then on one of the top faces the pierburg will say pierburg on it.

Do you want a pic of the carb or inlet?

yer that is sound, it says webber on it but it looks just like that one,

should i get it, he wants ?20 for the carb and manifold????

if it looks like that and says webber on it is it a 32/34 carb ????

need to know b4 about 1 tomoz as i have to go scraappy before it closes

oh and i think the brake breather is like the one in the second pic

buy it and sell the inlet on a grasstrack racer forum...

[bigbened]

how much are the inlets worth then mate

[coochiSR]

Alot, someone tried selling me one for about 70quid........

[garyc]

Its the MK1 astra one (Top Pic) that are ?70-80, the Mk2 inlet is the same as Nova 1.3 SR. I'd buy it at ?20

[bigbened]

i bought it today, and it is a webber 32/34, cant beleive it was in the scrappy tho?

Does anyone know what size jets etc i will need, and do i need anything other than jets, manifold and gasket to fit it

[bigbened]

??

[garyc]

As you only paid ?20 for it why not spend the money you saved on a trip to a rolling road?

[Stuart]

^^ because thats a good idea and people dont like them...

[bigbened]

lol i may get it on the rolling road but i want to get my cam and dizzy first, not sure which one to get, ive been told 1.4 one is a good bet, is this true?

[Adam]

Do get it on a rr, as your chances of picking the correct jets for it to run spot on are slim.
Shouldn't cost that much to setup a 32/34.

[bigbened]

just got a quote off the bloke i usualy go to and he says ?60 fitted and set up

Is this good or crap?

[Stuart]

better than a poke up the bum

[Adam]

Lol/\

Is that just fitting, and setting the idle mix tho?
As thats easy to DIY.

Its final jet selection that needs sorting.

[bigbened]

Its final jet selection that needs sorting.

huh lol, is there no set jets to use then or is it a bit of a fit what works best?

How much bhp will i see (i know it wont be much) just so i have a target to beat

[Adam]

Someone elses engine thats running fine will give you a "ok" start point for what jets to get the engine running.

But every engine is different(down to different types of exhausts blah blah) so to get it 100% spot on it needs a rr tune.

Power gains wont be massive with a 32/34, there very similar to the standard carb, just with a mech 2nd venturi, and a manual choke.
Throttle response should improve tho.

[bigbened]

yes the bloke said it would have a rr tune, can they tell the bhp when doing that

[Adam]

Aye
