wcrado 0 Posted September 24, 2005 ok i know you're all slating me cos i'm about to run carbs, here's your chance to try and save me.... i have heard in the past, and just now in my thread about carbs of this WUR mod on valvers, i get the general idea but how is it carried out? Diagrams, detailed descriptions, any guidance would help. chop chop i've got a drill in my hand and i'm rairing to go! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted September 24, 2005 It really needs doin on rollers.My timing is set to 9degrees advance,then control pressure on wur is set to 48psi when warm after setting system pressure to 5.4 bar and co level at 2% If you must do it ya self,you need top drill through the tamper proof cap on back of wur and using the correct fuel pressure gauges turn the 6mm (i think) to lower the pressure to 48psi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted September 25, 2005 You can't go messing without the pressure gauge. You'll not get it back as it was, if things go wrong. Like Flusted says it should be done, whilst using a rolling road. That way you can see what improvements have been made. Madly twiddling the 5mm allen bolt, won't achieve much.

wcrado 0 Posted September 25, 2005 ok, guess i'll have to look into getting it done properly if my twin carbs idea doesn't come off. where's the best place to have it done? stealth? obviously just any rolling road tuner won't do, because they won't have the info about this.

flusted 0 Posted September 25, 2005 stealth are the only place that do it as far as i know,i drove all the way from the isle of wight to get mine down and it was the best move ive ever made for perfromance increases Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcrado 0 Posted September 25, 2005 sweet cheers flusted. it's definitely something to bear in mind if my carbs idea falls on it's face! which if i listen to you lot it will! if it does i think i'll go for the exhaust cam, wur mod and maybe send my head away to be ported and polished.

That would be a good 170ish bhp! mine flies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
