1.8 DZ on single Weber - what BHP?
 

Like the title says really.

If I stick a single Weber (rejetted) onto a 1.8 DZ Engine, what power am I likely to see?

I reckon about 600bhp!!!

It'll be faster than the General Lee 80 as well!

What's wrong with the fuel injection system on it? Doubt you'd see much of a power increase going from fi to a single weber, maybe even a drop.
Maybe a pair of 40's but a single one isn't going to give you much in the way of power gains.

why, stick twin 40's on it

great minds!:rock:

RTFQ. Who said I was going from fuel injection???

You don't know what it is going in!!!

80CL currently has 1.6 DT engine with single Weber. I have 3 kids and not much spare cash.

Got 2 DZ engines in the garage and a carb manifold.

So, how many BHP? 100? 110?

I had 120bhp and 144 foot pounds of torque on a single weber twin choke.
Fitted to a PB code digifant golf.

Had a lovely habit of scaring the hell out of so called quicker motors...give it a try and see if it works for you. :)

Yesss:rock:

If I wanted crap mpg and crap round town driveability, twin 40s would be the way to go.

If I wanted 30mpg and driveability I would go for ITBs from www.badger5.co.uk

I just wanted an answer like 4V6 has given.

This should be a virtually zero cost upgrade.

hmm the 1.6 YP engine 85 BHP with Pierburg 2B carbs...
The Typ 80 GT's 1.6 100 BHP with heron engine...

My DT was 75bhp with Pierturd 2E2.
