twin 45`s or 40`s on 1.8 16v golf?

[curlie467]

I think you could get away with twin 40`s jetted correctly on a 1.8 16v. Does anyone know otherwise?

Bike carbs, better fuel economy and much cheaper.

Its what im doin. 

[curlie467]

Yeah, sounds good, they would come with all linkages, what about inlet manifolds, what u doin?

Did you get the isv prob sorted?

[Danr]

You can get a custom mani for iro 100-150, try http://www.totalvauxhall.co.uk/resources/totalvauxhall/TOV64.tech60697.pdf there is a company called Bogg brothers in york whocan supply everythin.

ISV still causing problems, going dubsport on sat to try and sort some stuff out.

[curlie467]

If you are going for bike carbs then you can get rid of all that injection crap anyway.

injection crap compared to carbs err yeah 

[curlie467]

I meant it towards someone who is struggling with a pain in the arse isv prob so they could junk it  and not worry about that system.

Im not starting an injection versus carb war. Injection is better in some ways but not in others.

Also, i am building my 16v off a rolling shell so wanted to do something a little different but not too expensive so thought about carbs rather than buying all the injection set up and the motor if you know what i mean.

[Danr]

Thats why im thinkin carbs, top mount rad, battery in boot should be quite tidy then 

[curlie467]

What do you need for ignition, standard ecu or can you bin it. not sure about that side of it!

[Danr]

Not 100% sure at mo, still tryin to find stuff out lol, when i know will let u know
