Webers or something to make my car faster?
I have a standerd 1200 merit mk1 with manual choke.
I'm looking to make it a little bit faster as I'm always late for work, I have a 1300 inlet manifold but no carb or weber. Anyone have or any ideas on what I should put on so I can make some use of it!
If anyone have exhaust system that would bolt strait on to my 8v engine.
Or anything u can concider me bying to make if some what faster.
a 1300 or 1400 bottom end is by far the cheapest tuning trick for this engine.. you are looking at a gain of 20hp, for minimal insurance costs.
the std carb will cope with about 90hp....
you can squeeze a couple of hp out by using a 1300 4-2-1 manifold & downpipe
but sticking a bigger carb onto the std lump will only cost you more in petrol.
If I to get a 1300 manifold would I need to get the rest of the exhaust system Would it be a direct replacement on the 1989 nova I have?
Cheers
if you buy a std 1300 manifold & downpipe, it will fit to the rest of the 1200 stsyem fine... you'll only get a couple of hp with it though...
bolt on bits won't gain you enough to stop you being one set of traffic lights late for work. I suggest spending money on an alarm clock
^^lmao @ stuart but i would seriously consider the bottom end from a 1300 and the 1200 head a 1400 or 1600cam and exhaust oh and maybe a set of twin 40's or bike carbs
what exactly is the bottom end? i got the same 1200 1989 nova. wudnt mind giving it a try if its not too much work
is this a serious thead why not put some nitrous on it you can have a 1000bhp 1200
ben go spend £19 on a haynes manual and learn about an engine
