Which carbs

[sparkywig]

Talking about setup, a CSP bell crank linkage will seriously improve your life Fit, adjust, forget. I haven't had to mess with mine since fitting it 3 years ago. Well worth the money
Oh, and get yourself a synchro meter airflow meter. Pricey but makes setup a diddle
Damn spellchecker....I meant doddle! What on earth is a diddle :lol:

Not quite sure you want to know what a diddle is on a public forum.... :lol:

Just to throw another one into the mix. I am running Webber 34's ICT with my 1776 and it runs sweet as. I only have a mild cam so nothing to hard core but get could performance all round.

ICTs are fine, I know someone running them on a 2110 singleport.
The only trouble is they're a single barrel/choke carb, and so can be a bit limited for performance on a twinport engine.

I'm running a a mild 1776 in my split & have 40 IDFs with 32 venturis, 55 idles, 130 mains & f11 emulsion tubes.

It can bit boggy down low when cold but pulls like a train after 2k, I think my accelerator pumps may need a tweak.

If I could be bothered I'd change the Venturis to 30s & drop the mains to 125s as I think that would sharpen it up, but I plan a swap to fuel injection soon.

Personally I would go for the IDF as parts (jets etc) are more readily available and are generally cheaper. I think the Dellorto is probably a bit better carb though. It's also worth noting that a 36 Dell is equivalent in size to a 40 Weber, but it's the venturi size that is more important.

The emulsion tubes & the venturi's are the expensive parts so get these right first time - F11 elusion tubes are pretty much a given in 90% of VW aplications. Idle jets are almost certain to be 50 or 55 for almost all applications up to 2 litre, run as lean as possible on these without detonation to get the fuel economy as good as possible.

So as a guide for a mild 1776

Weber 36/40s

55 idle
125-135 mains
F11 emulsion tubes
30 venturi

Linkages are all much of a muchness as long as they're not the cheap & tacky type.

Oh how soon are you going fuel injection :msn4: and do you plan on selling your idf's ?


:lol:

I have fitted the csp bar linkage - here http://www.coolairvw.co.uk/Item/Shop_by_Manufacturer~CSP_Products~CSP_Engine_Products/CSP129942/CSP_Cross_Bar_Linkage.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Dead easy to fit and it is very smooth in action
