bro..wat type brand of DB carb u using?Mikuni..aisan?etc?secondary operates by vacuum or mechanical?merzlimo77 said:external fuel pump does not depend on your engine to operate so it mean u are saving like 0.5hp from your engine.but it does dry your battery a bit.there are fuel pump that stop and spin.it mean it only operate when there is demand.this type usually mahal la.i am using a dual barrel carb.there is primary barrel which operate from engine is started and the secondary barrel only comes in after i reached 2600rpm.What i did is i change the jet for secondary barrel by increasing the value by 6 from what that is stamp on the original jet.then i polish to mirror shine the throat and airways of the carb for better air flow.this including the inlet manifold.i eliminate the base plate for the carb to shorthened the distant of air travel to increase throtle respond.originally there is a lot of vacuum hoses coming from the carb which i dont use anymore except for aircond FICD.it is a valve which control engine idling when aircond is on.i install a extenal fuel pump from w124 merc and i use ignition coil from a w123 230e merc for better sparks.What i get is good fc in normal driving and sharper respond whenever i need it.

say i wanna tune my carb to run with leaner A/F(my car drinks petrol like no tomorrow, eventhough its just an 1.5) i will lose top end power right?
someone said i will trade top end power for lower end torque
for city driving, imo i need more lower end torque so i dont need to change gear so often :P and also i dont run fast, normally only 100-130 depends on road o.O
kinki_kidz® said:but IMO my carb is running too rich already
70% highway and 30% town driving
how can a 1.5litre car gives around 8-9km/litre? *sweat* :(
this sounds pretty ridiculous isnt it?
kinki_kidz® said:which coil u mean o.O
sorry wasnt quite clear about the basics of carb
thanks cookie for the info anyways
