1.8 16v twin carbs. please help....

hey

i have a 1.8 16v engine in my golf running on the injection system and wanted to convert it to twin carbs.
i have asked a couple of people about what carbs to get but they seemed to have different opinions. so i was
wondering if u guys could help. do i get twin 40's or twin 45's to get the most out of my engine?

thanks Adam

There are all kinds of variables for carbs. You can get different size chokes to fit within the carb. These will give differing air/fuel mixes.

Try Eurocarb mate, I've found them to be really helpful with my car.

Dellorto and weber cabs also have different characteristics.

You'll find the carb / injection battle a hot subject on here, most people say to leave injection in place.

If you use the car regular carbs will be hard work.

There is a lot more to the conversion than just bolting on carbs dude….

Projekt Frustration :

 White 1991 Clipper. Lowered over polished zender rims, Single 40 dellorto on lynx manifold, kent cam, full stainless 'zorst / manifold, powerflex bushed and braced. Not the fastest car, but sounds super nice!

Still going after 12 years… never said it was a quick fix! Time is not my friend.

To get the most out of your engine - what's the matter with it at the moment, most people find that the combination of Mk1 car and 16V engine is great!
