Andy 3i Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 When I said wiring...I meant that as I run a maf, injectors etc. I might purchase them and sit on the idea until the warmer weather is here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 3i Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Surely if I run bike carbs...I'll have no maf or injectors...I can't just leave them blank can I? Also idle control, air temp and vacuum hoses? Edited April 25, 2013 by Andy 3i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also idle control, air temp and vacuum hoses?In essence, yes! If i recall, on the Zetec you have one vacuum for servo (you will fit a servo take off to your new manifold, if you wish to keep the servo.) one for the fuel pressure regulator - you no longer have the standard one. Your carburettor now controls your air and fueling, there is nothing the ECU can do to adjust it anymore, all you need it to do is run the ignition which it will continue to do via the TDC sensor. @Lee Not a lot. A carb is an air valve connected to your foot which uses jets and vacuum to meter the fueling. It's a tube with a throttle plate and a narrowing called a venturi, this is where the vacuum is created and 'pulls' fuel through the jet. That's the most basic type of carburettor. A throttle body is an air valve connected to your foot. The ECU determines how much fuel is required by the various sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 The ECU will need more than just crank position to determine spark angle! Namely TPS in this scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really worth the grief of messing about etc it is if u want the extra power, annd the noise will be goooood Too noisyWon't be drastically more powerful, especially if it's a DIY set upIf it's not DIY then it'll cost a decent amountPathetic MPGEmmissions issuesCustom parts requiredLimited garages willing to touch a bespoke carb setup if an issue occurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 3i Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Sounds like the cons outweigh the pros . The best thing would be proper throttle bodies which cost a small fortune...Thanks for all the help guys, greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
