[nandor85]

well im getting a new cable made up so wont b ready till next weds so next weekend ill b putting them on

[Chop]

nandor, the little metal bubbles or bulb at the end of the cable can be bought from sprint auto parts in a range of sizes. i just used one on my throttle cable because my cable was too long and slack after puting in the 1.6.
I just cut the old bulb off and you slide the new one on to the desired length and then tighten the screw.
Thats assuming its the same as the car style ones.

chop

[nandor85]

all sorted i just got a custom cable made it

[nandor85]

well everything is set up ready 2 go im so happy got new cable got all my fitting and hoses set up so its an easy bolt on had 2 put a t piece in so that i can run a vac line 2 my dizzy and 1 2 the fuel res and 1 2 the break booster

so yeah set the carbs 2 2 1/2 turns which is the base setting 4 the stage 3 jet kit and i may have 2 tap 4 nipples in2 my manifold 4 my vacum gauges 2 help with tuning but trying 2 find a very small 4mm nipple thats threaded so i can tap them in with out drilling 2 big a hole in the manifold

[nandor85]

yeah it was run ning lean as i need 2 hone out the slides so my lighter springs will fit then ill b getting the fuel i need as the slides just werent opening

[skelaaleks]

Are you going to be running those air filters off road.
Those things suck in everything bar 1/4inch rocks.
If you hold it up to the light can you see through the filter?

[matfan]

My first thought was I WANT IT, but then I remember my old 265 hemi running the triple webbers.... I could never figure out where the laptop plugged in to get the tuning right!
Bloody good effort mate!

[ZookFisher]

i love this idea.. when i first got my gti motor i was considering going quads.. that would SCREAM... but i stuck with efi

[nandor85]

well about 6 months ago i killed the engine, recon the quads might have had something 2 do with it lol well it did last ova 210,000 and 40,000 of those km's were hard 1s with the quads on

well i trying 2 find new donor engine while i rebuild my old engine

[PJ.zook]

Lol well at least there will be plenty of peformance parts for the engine, maybe shove a GTI short block in.

[nandor85]

all back in now running great just getting my new ports cut out on the c&c lathe and will be welding up a bigger and better manifold for the quads

[Trypt]

That sounds wicked... GOOD WORK

[nandor85]

thanks still waiting on my tafe teacher 2 do these new ports, they go from 28 ID to 38 ID (internal dimension) to match up 2 head ports and the 38mm carbs

Make an airbox and duct some cool air into it. Havind the air/foam filters exposed like that has to be hurting you when it gets hot
