I think the Webber might be a bit over jetted?

 

[chris r]

Might explain why it was a bit quieter than usual

Probably should get around to putting the other weber back on

Where theres a webber, theres a snag m8

@chris r had a fancy Weber adapter CNC machined, but somewhere along the way it gained an extra 10mm in the base.
So I made it a lot less fancy but a lot more functional.

I haven't welded alloy in way too long/needed to preheat more, but it's solid!

 

[Raizer]

Even less pretty, but still hopefully functional.
TBI to Holley adapter made from a couple scrap bits of 12mm alloy plate.

Rough idea I have for idle control is a inline style motor off a bmw/euro thing. Should be able to hide a hole in the manifold and air cleaner base fairly easy.

I know port injection is much better overall but for learning/playing around with tuning the single point/throttle body will be good enough to get started

Thanks! I was hoping something like that existed

@chris r high compression and built for boost arnt often used in the same sentence 

[chris r]

I know, it does depend on which fuel is being run though 

[Raizer]

Ooh is that what the blower is for? 

Water meth might be a good idea.
