depends what month in 92, CATs are required after august 92, i had an mot try to fail me for no cat untill i showed him the registration date etc....robbin bar-stool :nono:

little bit of custom work completed on the bike carb conversion. A polished wiring box cover and a cover/scoop for the carbs to hide the rubber trumpets. What you think then peeps??

depends on what bike carbs you use...and how long your intake manifold is made.

heres a little vid i made of the motor.

i might take a trip over to them at some point and see what they can do for me fabrication wise....i quite fancy some custom trumpets for it !!

ill sort out a vid in due course but aint had the time yet..... i live in the midlands....sent the carbs in the post to boggs and they did the rest and sent them back.

had the manifold made and the jetting done by boggs but all the mechanics etc i did myself. The engine is a 2.0l 16v 9a lump. the original lump was the same but went bang so i put another one in and thats when i decided to convert it, ive still got the original which will be refurbed and modified and put back in at a later date (with carbs of course)

i cant remember all the techy bits to be honest....the outlet end was 38mm on each but i cant remember what the venturi gaps were.. :cuckoo: it worked out to allow enough air when i had the original calculations done and the jets are correctly sized so it all seems ok...!(touch wood)

no worse feel-wise than it was with the injection to be honest but the mid range...3k plus is realy beefy it feels like theres more grip anyway.....(i just love the noise and constant popping from the exhaust on throttle release)

Been doing this project for a little while now but as its all up and running thought i would post the pics, let us know what you think then peeps. cheers for looking!!

Just a really quick one please guys...is the 1.8 16v air box the same as the 2.0l 16v air box??

asked for some new indicators to go into the front bumper, still available for 92 onwards but prevoius models eg first g60 etc are apparently discontinued!! how do they justify that one?? hand signals?? lol

im trying to find a place to post this one but if its not meant to be here then please correct it for me.... im trying to locate a rolling road near worcester/malvern...closer the better. ill be needing to set up my carbs when im all finished and rolling road is essential but obviously im not going to want to travel too far as i dont know what probs im going to encounter in different gears and speeds etc...you get the idea. so any reports would be very greatly recieved.

i dont know of any horror stories but i think that you just have to change them a little sooner than vag ones as although the quality is to pass level its not as good as vag itself. i was just wandering how you got such a good price thats all. nothing untoward about it dont worry.....lol

ok it could be a few things but heres the list for you to check... air intake system is leaking, eg has a split in it could be the volume air flow sensor(VAF) its on the air box under the round rubber air intake. its a flappy metal disc that moves up and down...could need cleaning or is sticking. sticking throttle or a dodgy throttle position sensor. fuel pump dodgy/ more likely a blocked fuel filter though...situated under the drivers side of car infront of rear wheel...(its a cylinder looking thing..if you just had a service it should be new looking) Try those for starts mate it gets more technical from here on in..lol welcome to valver world.....always a new problem!
