1.6 driver
« on: 29 May 2006, 13:57 »
im about to put a 8v gti head on my 1.6 driver , my question is , is the carb on the 1.8 driver the same ? or could it be a slight upgrade ? or not worth bothering with ? at the minute its running poor when cold , and about 20 mpg !
just done a few subtle mods , pics to follow soon
cheers

they are the same carb except the 1.8 one is jetted (set up) diffrently, your best puttig the head on and finding a decent carb that works and getting it set up at a garage, u can also upgrade your carb to a weber which u can get for about 80quid on ebay

i had 6 different carbs on my driver including a weber and the best carb i ever had was the pierburg, its the two stage thing it does, kicks ass when it works right
