Motors done 500km since built,,,

What you guys recon I can get for it? or is it worth stripping and selling in bits?

dude.. whats happened.. thought you was happy as with it, other than the twins being hard work.. but isn't that the good thing about twins.. or am i off track.. ooops...h aha

No no my question would be what motor are you gonna fit next?

As for what you can sell it for a import A 15 is going around 4k and your is going like hell with nice bits so 8 to 10k and contact nismo1 I know he is fed up with his current setup so you can try him good luck

You certainly have some goodies on and in the motor and i would stronly suggest that you keep it all in one peice, easier for someone to get in running without hassle. Sounds like you spent a bit of cash on it, you probably wont get your money back, but you may get a fair bit back to spend on your next motor.

What do you have in mind for the next engine?

sent you a message-lets talk-only seen this at past 20hoo -got home a bit late.thanks.

Well, on saturday i got her to run 100% with the 4th set of webers, that was with 11mm - 22mm float setting which is way out the left field, worked MINT in the corners but obviously got a touch lean end of the straight, I have given the carb master one last shot and if he can not get it to run right for this weekend I am going to fuel injection, and with fuel injection I can not run in Marque Historics so I will fit a 13-1 comp S15 SR20 with 50mm slide throttles, 306 Nismo cams, dry sump etc, it has been laying collecting dust waiting for another project I had in mind (lotus 7), motor makes 190kw fly with a mild tune at 8500rpm on autronic, starts and runs perfectly

This was from Saturday, I was realy just trying to get her to pack out between 300000 diffternt settings we tried

But as soon as I get her back to a decent float level she dies mid corner, I am just so sick and tired of dealing with carb's and have tried just about everything to solve it, just need a break from them now...before i kill the carb guy.

Call me odd but i dont like the idea of fuel injection on a A-series, if i bastadise it I would rather just go SR20.. Just so sick and tired of dealing with this guy and his carbs especialy because the ONLY time it doesnt work 100% is hard into corners, this A15 is just such a blast at 8500rpm, the sound is epic and the guys at the track love it, im just at a loss with near R20k (alsmost $3500au) into the setup to not have it run 100% due to carbs

Well, in an effort not to jinx it I will refrain from comment till tested, but i think I found the problem! would explain all my symptoms as well as crappy idle.

I guess the carb master likes to over look VERY simple things first.

And??? Dont keep us hanging haha

About the only thing i have not checked...

The throttle cable cam, its mounted to the front carb and in turn opens the second carb, adjustment between the two is on the cam itself and the idle and return spring sits on the 2nd/rear carb...

Problem is the throttle cam is worn out and has 1.4mm movement on the front carb's shaft! this means that the front carb is VERY rarely in sync = some times perfect idle, some times terrible. I can almost guarantee my corner problem happens because I let off at 8500rpm just before that corner just for a second or two then get back onto it as I get into the corner, I recon whats happening is the throttle butterflies are getting sucked totally shut on the front carb which then forms a massive vacuum which is also placed on the idle jets/pump jets which suck loads of fuel in and as soon as I floor it again she floods out... the actual intake manifold should never see a totally shut butterfly (due to idle control)... This would also explain how I was getting fuel into the choke box! It would also explain why I needed the 22mm lower float level to get enough fuel in fast enough during this “lets SUCK the fuel out session”

I hope to hell I am right, either way it should make a HUGE difference to drivability. How the carb guy didn’t notice in his 3 times of changing this front carb is totally beyond me… this really is idiot 101 stuff, as an engineer I now feel like a total twat for not actually having worked on the DCOE’s myself! So much for trusting the pro’s.
