Someone throw some shafts my way, and i will.
Ignore that last comment.
Carbs NO longer for sale :) lol
Time to start spending(again)
Quick update.
Got hold of some cheap weber 45 trumpets, 60mm length ones. In very good condition, just need a polish. Bargain at ?20 when there ?60+ new :D
And luckily they will slide straight into some silicone hose when i get some.
For the minute, ive just pushed them into the rubber hose trumpets the carbs come with originally.
They look cool imo :D

Whether they'll fit in the bay is another question lol
They sit quite upright, so i think the bonnet may cause more problems than the firewall. We'll see.
They look rally nice mate, i reckon they'd look even better on the engine rather than on a sofa though ;)
lol
Its cold outside :p
that should make you work faster- nice incentive, quicker its done, quicker you're inside in the warm.
Off you trot now.... lol
Lol.
Still need quite a few bits before i even start doing any fitting.
They'll be going on nearer the summer time.
they carbs look really cool mate..
cant wait to see them on your nova..and hear them..ha ha
my dad says i should get bike carbs on my rally car with a 14/1600 16v.
Im optimistic till i see the results.
I have a funny feeling they wont give much more of a gain over a mantzel'd 16xe tbh!
Inconsistent fueling and all that
Feck the power gains, they look slutty!!
Chop the firewall out, problem solved :)
:cool:
The man speaks much sense! :)Quote:

Just need the MJ ecu, and some wiring to make a loom with now.
And then just the small bits i will need to buy(throttle cable,crank trigger etc etc etc)
wot makes you want a mj ecu? ive just fimished today putting carbs and set up on my mates 2.0 ecotec engine we used the things you have in your pic,but we used a sierra 1.8 bottom pully for the firing teeth and a crank sensor from the same little time to get it firing but shes alive now lol
Because the MJ ecu controls the ignition.
Using the edis system alone gives ignition yeah, sat at 10degs btdc! lol
You get no ignition control/advance.
Lovin the plug lead removal lol, what model ford did you get it from ad?
N-plate Escort iirc John.
LOL @ at the lead removal comment.
The coilpack is mounted on the back of the block! WTF, only ford could mount something quite important in the stupidest place ever. lol
Must of took me an 40mins get to the screws after causing quite a bit of damage ripping bits of the engine off out the way lol
looking nice and slutty ad :thumb:
true mate i no what your sayin BUT lol we also thort bout this so the mount we had to make for the crank sensor we made in such a way that it can be ajusted to sort out the problem of befor/after tdc.its on a roling road next tuesday for the final set up so we will fing out how for were out lol im sure something may need a little ajustment.its fookin quick tho and its in a old opel kaddetQuote:

If you've just wired edis up and are leaving it like that your ignition will sit at 10deg and wont move. It will drive terribly as the ignition advance isn't changing.
Got home today to find this had arrived :D

Hooked it up to a spare battery, and my laptop, and all's good :D
The box is tiny, that cd in the pic is one of these 7/8cm mini cd's, so you can see how small the box is.
nice one bud, you going to chance setting it up yourself? it new or second hand?
Nice going Adam. Hope this lot results in it performing really well. It should do.

CoolTiger-As Novalicious said. Astra mk3s also have them too.
Peester-WHAT? lollol
If your referring to the small block box, its a diy build shift light kit :p
Speaking of the car actually, had a very close call tonight. On the way home from work, the back end stepped out BIG time on a greasy roundabout(i.e. the front end at one point was pointing at the middle of the roundabout lol)
First time thats ever happened on me, didn't realise what was happening at first, luckily i steered into in(instinctively i think) and managed stop it going full circle onto the central island on the roundabout :eek: Luckily the roundabout isn't very busy and was empty at the time. Could of been a different story if it had been rush hour.
I know exactly why i happened tho, its quite a tight turn to go around the roundabout, and just before turning i remember letting off the throttle slightly, which must of changed the weight to the front of the car, letting the back end swing out. Hope i never experience that feeling again(well not on a road anyway lol)
Hmm, some guys knocking out replica mantzel powerboxes on corsasport for ?130, and one is SERIOUSLY tempting me.
Also will soon have a 4-1 exhaust manifold thanks to Hendrix.
A powerbox and 4-1 would be nice, and i'll still keep the reliability/fuel consumption i need for the cars everyday usage!
HMM, what to do :( lol
Think Peester was on about it looking like a bluetooth handsfree kit....
Anyway, buy the rep mantzel anyway, fit it and see what you think, it will hold it's value till you get the carbs all sorted and swap 'em over and sell the mantzel. Job done :thumb:
Big block XE is beckoning you lolQuote:
