loss of power

[bonkars]

hi there everyone i was just wondering if anyone can help me here is the problem.
i had 1.4sr engine in my nova with a 1.6 head on it and i have changed the engine to a 1.6se engine but have took the injection off it and have put the carb back on. i got it all running but the only way it would do that was by turning the dizzy right round so i thought the timing was out.not only that when i took it for a test drive it was really lacking power could this be the carb as it is only the ****ty pierburg carb. if any one could help would be appreciated :confused:

did you jet the carb up accordingly for the 1600 engine? if you didn't then your problems probably lie there, hope this helps

why did you fit a pierburg to a 1600.

its all wrong!

PMSL, agreed

At least fit some DCOE's, or fit the injection system back on it.

Its like putting 13 inch steelies on a Monaro!

I'd put money on the pierburg giving you less power than the injection system, regardless of how well its set up.
