New Carbs

[easy]

Hi guys,

I am thinking of fitting twin 34 ICTs to my stock 1600cc engine. I am wondering what else I will need to buy?????

(I will be buying a kit from cool air)

Ive got a stock dizzy on there at present and its vacumn advanced so I presume that I will have to change this for a 009 without etc.

I have a just kampers stainless exhaust system, which should be fine, but
I don`t need to replace any tinware do i?

Please help................

I've got dual Dell'orto 34 FRDs on mine and they have VAC outlets, I'm not sure if ICTs have VAC outlets. If they do then I would keep the stock VAC dizzy as they have a much better advance curve at low revs than a 009. Also genuine Bosch dizzys are no longer made and fetch a higher price, EMPI make a reproduction 009 but it is cheaply made in China. Check out this website http://www.eurocarb.co.uk they do Dual Dell'orto FRD kits and ICTs for T1/T2 engines, give them a call they give good advice.

No idea, they are very similar anyway. I got mine cheap on thesamba.com. I would say that the parts for Webers are easier to come by.

Just given them a call and they do twin weber 34icts with vacuum advance for £349, result.

Looks like that will be the way to go for me. I won`t have to change the dizzy etc then.

Cheers dude! 8)

I got my SCAT swivel linkage from them, cheaper than SSP and they gave me good advice on installing it. VAC on dual 34s should give better economy than with a 009. You bus is gonna be nice n' smooth to drive, with a bit more poke and economy. Nice one. Let us all know how you get on.

Will do dude.

The website link you put up seems to go somewhere weird? I presume you mean http://www.racecar.co.uk/dellorto/

Is this right?

The guy was well helpful and very cheap on the kit and postage. 8)

 

[speedwell68]

Yeah thats them, didn't know they had changed their web address. http://www.dellorto.co.uk goes to the same place as well. Glad you got it sorted.

depending on your van the only problem ive come across is that late bays have the mount for the air filter on the right hand side, it gets in the way of the carb.
also ive got icts on my bus and my bug and they are an awesome carb
better fuel economy and more poke!
well worth the cost

Agreed here.

Nice one guys. I have part built them now, just gonna finish them off next week, then its off to the rollling road! broom broom! :lol: :lol:

 

[slammedkustom]

the other thing to watch out for is where you bolt the big "L" bracket to the carbs, trial fit the air filter as you may have to trim the corner of the bracket to let the filter sit right.

Go with dual 36 DRLA

Hi Kombiporsche,
how did you get the carbs that clean?
Looks like they have been sprayed??
Sweet van by the way.

 

[kombiporsche]

They have been "microbillés" in French

how do you say it in English ?

Google translated it as microballs, I assume it is some kind of mild bead blasting. I have had some sonically cleaned, Look great, better than new.

 

[kombiporsche]

Yes it is that :wink:

They have been sand blasted but not with sand :lol:

 

[dubberdaz]

Wow, kombiporsche they look great! I have a pair of 40 Dell's just parts in a box! I think i need to send them to soeone who can clean em up and put together..... anyone?
