1.8 DZ on single Weber - what BHP?

pimpdriver · 24-01-10, 08:46 PM

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.

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.

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...
