Fielder Goes Faster

[Fielder5757]

Got board while i was in halfords talking to a Golf GL driver and we made up a plan.

If we measure the pipe at the end of my carb and get a green filter to fit, Then bolt it onto the end of it and use jubilee clips to attatch it to the bulkhead and see if it works. If it does we could then fabricate somthing more permant to fix it in place.

Well it worked! And the car defintally feels faster and more responcive Nice colour 2

dont understand that ... but I dont understand carbueretta cars so maybe thats why...

Motor needs a real good clean  

Basically the carb arm is just like a GTIs airbox, In theory its just like removing the airbox of a GTI and bolting on a Filter. Only with a carb you have to remove the existing (and restrictive) filter from inside the carb as well

Good skills mate! I just f**ked all the plastic bit off mine and replaced with a bolt on. Dont reckon I get the cold air that you are gettin with that set up though!

Low golf mate, Its simple to do

?40 for the filter from halfords. Ill even get the part number for you if you need it.

The filter comes with a big jubilee clip, Just get one roughtly the same size as the one it comes with. Use one to tighten the filter OVER the pipe (right over it) and the other loosly around the pipe its self.

Then get a smaller jubilee clip and connect it round the bigger one, Then find a hole next to the grill and tighten around that. There will also be a small press out area on the grill (if you have the original grill). Press that out and bingo, Your getting power directally to the filter.

You can choose where to put the filter. Mine sits slightly below the grill to avoid the filter being damaged. When i need power however i just lift it up and zip tie it to a higher hole in the bulkhead.

simple really, And only took 20 mins to do.



However if you dont want to get rid of your bolt on theres another idea for you. get some induction piping and bolt it behind the grill, then bolt the other end of the piping directally infront of your bolt on and bingo, cold air directally to your bolt on

I had a cold air feed to it for a while, but kept getting carb freezing when going down the motorway. Hope this doesnt effect you. I still have a sh!te piersburg carb so ull prob be ok.

no problems for me, took her to 117MPH today with no problems at all  

Makes a nice roaring noise 2 Im trying to figure out some way of replacing the carb all togeather but i havnt found one yet.

[Gambit]

only way to replace the carb is to get fuel injection, so basically a no no

jsut get a 8v GTi cam in it, and you'll be laughing
