Mk 1 16 valve kr on carbs
« on: September 20, 2015, 12:28:56 pm »
Having already done one mk1 16 valve conversion using k jet and finding it worked great, I'm now doing another one, this time I'm thinking of using carbs, Jason recommend twin 40,s as its a standard kr1.8, my question is will it be as good or better than injection? Also what do you do with the breather on the front of the engine? Do the carbs require constant adjustment, or can you set them up properly and drive on, thanks

It depends on how you view it...

Any performance part will only help make more power where there is a restriction in the part it's replacing. In terms of a std KR, kjet does a decent job in terms of fuel and air supply. On a non injection car it's often easier to fit carbs than plumb in a fuel K system from old parts of unknown history, plus a power gain is possible if used with the right / high flow inlet manifold...expect power to be around 150hp with 40's and a decent exhaust.
