BlownCorona Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 its black and yellow and comes off the loom from the top of the firewall, to the left of the engine (imagine the standard engine) (when standing at the front of the car looking at the windscreen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benno Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 That manifold is looking awesome mate! You just going to run the vacuum off a single runner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 yeah i am, i had another thread where people were saying 1 runner should be fine, and i figure if i try one, and its not enough, ill tap all 4 and run a collector, but apparently thats only really nessasary for ex-EFI engines etc..

Beaver Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Did you up the jetting/drill the jets on the carbs or are they running standard? (didnt see any mention of this). If you havnt then it will be lean as fuck Looks like you are running vacuum lines of the runners, I would check these for leaks/start by plugging them to see if it makes a difference (Ive plugged my ones but I don't have a brake booster so didn't bother hooking the dizzy advance up, might do in the future though).

BlownCorona Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 ive upped them to 1.6 which i saw listed often as a good starting point (hence why i think its a little lean) ive not got anything tapped off the runners YET, my thinking was that i would keep it strait and basic for now and get it running well, and then add brake booster and such. that said, i know that i need 4x orings that fit under the green top caps and seal the vacuum ports, they may or may not be sealing currently.

Beaver Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 ah yep good stuff. Ive learnt that its worth replacing/fixing EVERYTHING that can be the first time haha, saves a lot of trouble. Cant help much on the jetting side sorry as mine were already done.....although there a a few guys on here who should be able to offer some advice (only listen too the people who have actually done it and got it working haha) good luck, bet you will be grinning like a chump first drive (I know I was!!)

BlownCorona Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 i was grinning like a chump the first time it fired, cant fuckin wait for the first lap around the block. its not leaking any fuel now that i put my regulator in so i think its mostly okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Good stuff! On a side not, I chucked filters on mine today (just those token pod filters), must have made it too rich as it sucked the power and would bog on on full throttle. Good excuse to keep them off and make more noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 yeah it definitely looks like filters arnt required. as its running pretty well already, and ive not really tuned yet, havnt syncd the carbs and still have leaks!. excited that i can keep to my original picture of chrome velocity stacks!.

Beaver Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Obviously you can tune/rejet to suit whatever you run (filters or not) but yeh, Im not keen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 some people on the net swear black and blue that they will never run properly without filters. but yeah im not convinced, and im trawling the net for 75mm long 58mm ID velocity stacks!
