Whats the going rate for an ABF lump, just picked a full engine with all bits bolted to it but no loom. Paid £70 for it.
Gonna strip and rebuild it, head work and then run it on weber 45's.
Does any one know if the kr ecu will be ok to get my spark from?
-
meh it'll sort of work
-
Sort of work or will work? whats the best way to tackle it?
-
really need mapable ignition with knock sensors.
never been inpressed with abf's on webbers they make about 170 - 175. but low throttel / rpm driveing isn't to nice and they are bloody thirsty. if you used bike carbs things would be a bit diffrent 40mm bike carbs will give more power and better part throttel driveing
-
So a set of bike carbs with a 40mm choke would be a better bet then. I presume i can make a inlet manifold from the old intake with out any major problems
-
You'll need to get a 'stub manifold' made up to take the inlet spacing from the 16V to the bike carbs, as this is almost inevitably going to be different. You *may* like to make a support bracket to go underneath the carbs which will hold them securely in place and ensure they work properly.

look up bogg brothers for a manifold to fit bike carb's , thay made one for me on my XR3 with a 2.0ltr zetec in it on R1 bike carb's
went like HELLLLLLLLLL
supped the fuel though :embarassed: :embarassed:
-
Yeah seen bogg bros stuff before but aint upto paying there prices for a inlet manifold, have been told that i can cut a standard inlet and run off that with a bit or work for bike carbs, i'm not bothered about it being pretty, its only a track car.
-
£125 for a manifold :undecided: :undecided: not expensave
from what i learned racing sidecar's is if you cut corners with cost's and stuff it will bite you in the ass with break down's
-
Where do you get £125 frrom, when i spoke to them it was over £300
-
jesus really
well in that case sorry , mine was £125
they got expesnsave
-
They got greedy me thinks.
-
What they do is all the rage though, isn't it?
Altiss Engineering do exactly the same stuff and quoted me £240-300 for a stub manifold and they would be able to get it to me by mid-February if I ordered it now.
-
foooooooooooooooooking ell
it is only a piece of alloy machined the same shape as the gasket , with 4 tubes on it !!!!!!!!!!!
sorry for the swearing :shocked:
-
This is why i'm thinking of making one from a old inlet manifold cut in half and welding some stubs to it.
-
why not see if you can get some images of their manifold and copy what they have done
-
Not sure whether this is of use to you
