SU Carb Refurbishment

Re: SU Carb Refurbishment

Hi I have fitted a 2.0 zetec to my roadster if I can be any help please ask. It is running a standard rear axle and frount brakes but have put green stuff pads on the frount. The engine is running on bike carbs which I bought from Danst engineering and a nodiz ecu it's not that complicated to do, probably the hardest part is welding in new engine mounts in.
I will put some pictures up if you are intrested
Regards Angus

Re: SU Carb Refurbishment

Thanks Angus, its still a tight squeeze on the induction side with bike carbs. i want to go fuel injection and talking to the guys at the Scottish Kit Car Center they use the standard single throttle body, standard ECU and a custom inlet plenum like this one they are doing in another car right now.

How about your sump, what happened at that end of the build?

Re: SU Carb Refurbishment

That looks really good, yes I think the custom pelenum and keeping the throttle body looks good and may have saved me a lot of time as the carbs on mine fouled the stering which I altered then it led me to relocate the servo. Replacing the servo and brake master cylinder was not a big deal for me as the originals where Brocken.
looking back I should have gone down this route but I had bought the carbs so I was going to make them fit!
Regarding the sump I chopped the metal section of the sump down and added a couple of baffles I followed a lot of the hints and tips on pauls Zetec installation, type it into Google and his page should pop up.

Re: SU Carb Refurbishment

Hi Scott,
Yes I probably should wright it up but my engineering skills come know where near as good as yours! when I get time I will, but time is not on my side at the moment running a business and having a young family take up a lot of my time.

Re: SU Carb Refurbishment

What gearbox did you use? I assume a Type 9?

I am thinking Mazda RX8 gearbox

Re: SU Carb Refurbishment

Well an upgraded engine and box will have to wait for now, so its off with the Old and on with the New Carb. Ready for cables and a tune, but only after the clutch is done.
