hi all quick question does anyone know anything about msd (multiple spark distribution) setups ?? if anyone know anything on these can you let me know pleaseeeee thanks liam

sorry mod ! :salute:

hi all, some of you might know the problems ive been having and what ive been doing, but heres the low down ! basically my old 2.0 ltr went poof so i got a 1.8 with the following mods, port and polished head, four branch manifold, 220 schrick cams, lightened flywheel, so i put this in my car a while back on standard management (motronic) and made a miserable 142 bhp and 113 tourqes! and i had to run the exhaust cam a to retard to make it run anywere decent, ??? so anyway i tried everything and still that was the best power ! i carried on like this for a while asking people what is going on and why am i getting terrible power, as people on here always say a 2.0 ltr with kr head and manifold with make 160 easy ?? no matter what i do or spend i dont ever seem to get above 130-40 bhp! up to date i now have a pair of twin dlha45e dellortos slapped on there and i made a whopping 126 bhp with 11 tourques yesturday i tried the cams in every way possible but still got less that stock power, all the engine manigment system has gona bar the ecu, the carbs are set up properly but still no joy! the best i got was 131 with playing with cams and timing ! i dont get it would it be to do with the head being gasflowed ?? or is it management ? or is it the lump ??? i dont know any more, im 4k down on this car now in total and have less power than a ford feiesta !!! im getting seriusly pi**ed off i dont know what to try any more i put a set of kr cams in last night and it ran flat as and at that point i went to bed haha ! does any one have any ideas anything would be a great help i know there is some clued up people on here could you please be kind enough to share some of you lovely knowlegeness and help a male in distress haha im getting fed up please help pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee!1 happy monday to you all peace out lol liam

Not quite sure you point ? a facet low pressure pump is always needed along with a pressure reg to obtain and keep a steady pressure of 3.2 psi of fuel pressure. using the origianal pump, you will only have to have a high pressure regulator then a low pressure reg to bring down the pressure to the disired pressure, and also the pump will be unstable at these high pressure as the pressure from a standard pump is 70 psi as said earlier in the post. and is a seat dizzy a full dizzy with bob weights and advance/retard on it mate ??? liam

hi mate yeh i cant wait till the rollers either lol! will be good to see how much it dosent make :lol: i went from a 2.0 because the old engine was haggered!, and i had a 1.8 so i thought id play with that! the engine has been gasflowed and schrick cams in it, with mani and lightend flywheel, and obviosly the massive dellorto 45s :D ive spent about a grand on the engine prob a little bit more! wayyyy more that the cars worth lol! are you thinking of bodies or carbs ?? any info you need matey just ask liam

thought id finally put them pics up lol haha here you go mmmmmm brrraaaap lol

by mine hahahaha estorils all the way!!!!

guys i need to ask a question , am i going to have to change my fuel pump to a facit pump or can i just put a regulator on my current 16v pump ??????/ many thanks liam

Good work guys I fitted mine tday just Gota try and find a method to make the throttle work havnt figured it out yet! I'll get a couple of pics up, I've been whiting the Internet trying to find out information but it hasn't really paid off! So how many other people we got on the forum with either carbs or itb's let us know guys show us your carbs lol haha!!!

right well i got my carbs tnight and im a little dissapointed to say the least and i had a look and one of the venturies is 36 mm and the rest are 37 mm so now ive got to try and source a 37mm venturi for a dellorto carb and also the carbs arnt matched either but that not a bigger worry! and ive figuered ive got a mbe spark ingiter ecu i might get a kjet loom and fit that so i have an ecu and a spark??? what do you recon to that?? liam

Well you see I'm the guy that has a 1.8 running on a motronic system so I got no idle and fuel economy of mustang so that's why I'm going down the route of carbs! Just thought I'd let you know lol. See that what I was thinking of, a way to go proper old skool and get rid of my ecu that is causing all the problems that I'm have which are alot! I need a method which dosent involve kjet as I havnt got it lol! I missed out on a kstar or £70 I was well annoyed! Any other methods other than the seat idea just so I have a back up!? Liam

Wow well I knew there was going to be some contravercy. It's amazing the different experiences that people have had, as for not producing an improvement in power surely that's not right ? I have a quick question for you all do I leave my ecu for the spark side of the system or do I remove it completely? Cheers

hi all just woundered has anyone on here fitted carbs to a 16v by any chance ??? what so of difference did you see if any ive got a set comming just thought id have an ask about to see/hear peoples thoughts ??? so any thoughts you have are welcome thanks :D liam
