1.4sr Twin 40's

[paulnova]

just wondering what power gain if any i will be expecting putting twin 40 webbers on a 1400 SR, or am i better off using a high lift cam etc... to benefit from the webbers??

cheers guys

If a standard 1.4, about 10bhp, if that.

Its a decent cam/head/exhaust and manifold, which gets power up with twin carbs.

thought so lol

Do you know anyone running 14sr T40's so i could ask them, see what they are running??

[paulnova]

Also would my mechanical fuel pump be ok or shall i get an electronic fuel pump (GSI/SRi) and fuel line instead??

cheers :thumb:

The mechanical pump is ok yeah.

i have a 1400 on t40's..its quick and sounds fantastic!

i have a 1300 SR head on the 1400 block, powerflow exhaust system and the webbers. hoping to put a proper 4 branch and cam and vernier pulley with mpi head over the winter.

greg1.4 - cool mate, im hoping for a bit more power from mine as i have had to use a C14SE block from corsa which has a huge flywheel so its s**t slow atm!!lol



does anyone know what the standard lift duration of a 1.4sr cam is?? also would a kent AST2 cam be ok to fit a 1.4sr as it says its for the 1300sr?

6.12mm lift, inlet and exhaust.
And yes.
