Yowzer Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Dude... But don't rangirover carbs both feed into the same manifold? Not split between cylinders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentra Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Dude...But don't rangirover carbs both feed into the same manifold?

Yowzer Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Mine go into the same manifold aswell..? Your's split between the pistons. 1 carb feeds 1st 2, 2nd feeds the other 2. I for some reason thought the rangirover had both carbs combined to feed all pistons. Would be odd but meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentra Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 so summing up, rangirovers only choke half the cylinders and they are quater of a million dollers why wouldnt you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0ss4yy Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Im not really against choking half, but id prefer if they all were, just seems like thats the way it was made so its the way it should be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I think you're right YOWZER. A guy at work was talking about injecting his one with lpg or what ever and is probably going to one big throttle. He's onto it, so to use that manifold with one throttle I would assume that means both carbs feed to all cylinders. Does the manifold on the engine in question have any kind of equaliser between the 2 sets of ports? If so this whol thread is a waste of time and the choke could be run of one with no issues.

Yowzer Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Coz rangirovers have twice the cylinders so prob less an effect of unevenness. But if it starts the car then it's all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
