Does all the anti-pollution cr@p still hook up to the bigger carb?

Why hook it up? All it does is clutter your engine bay, only reason its there was to keep the government peoples happy when the made the cars... Isnt it now-a-days that they dont really care about pre 1985 cars with out as much emision gear as they did previously?
The gear that would have been on the hitachi is the vacuum line (needed) anti-diesling solinoid, 2 breather pipes i think? and i think thats it... thats for the Aussie model tho, unless you'v got a USA motor which has crap all over it!!

Now all you need is to fit a A15 head and intake manifold and a cortina weber

Really rev it up then

Oh and what pipes did you end up using please

The reason I asked about the anti-pollution stuff is to keep the government people happy if they stick their heads under the bonnet

The sound turns a lot more heads than it used to.

My insurance company doesn't care what I do to the car as long as it's legal and I would say binning all anti-pollution might be frowned upon. As long as it looks like it works then that's all that matters.

I ended up getting Hurricane Extractors and the exhaust and extractors were fitted by Rob Bliss Exhausts.

I'll stick with the head I have at the moment. I wasn't going to change anything on this car but that lasted about a week.

What kind of "good difference" has the new exhaust system made? Does it sound louder?

It seems to have a bit more power, it certainly revs easier and has a raspy note to it.

When I picked it up from getting done, I started the car and then sat there giggling as it idled! People waiting in traffic must have wondered what was going on.

It is definately louder.

It is a little hard to tell just how much of a difference it has made because it is not running the best now, it was perfect when I drove it in but I think I need to adjust the idle and timing a little to see if it smooths it out a little. It now has a surge of power higher in the rev range which is why I described it as a flat spot before, that's what it feels like before the surge.

probably wouldn't hurt to put a larger main jet in there.there are two bronze nuts on the forward bottom edge of the fuel bowl,the left hand one is the main jet.you'll need a long thin screw driver to get it out.i seem to remember
finding a 96 jet in a sunny a12,but finding a 106 in an a15 carby.if you can find one of these it should help that flat spot,as well as smooth out the idle.you should probably change the secondary jet as well,i can't remember what size they are,but if you can find the a15 carb,grab them both.now,if your carby has the heat shield attached to the manifold,you won't have a hope of getting the jets out while the carby is still on the manifold,the eaiest thing i found to do is take it off & swap jets on a work bench.

how much of an advantage will extractors give over a set of gx headers(the four into two cast ones)? not sure whether to spend the money or not!

You don't need any of the anti-pollution gear on the motor anymore, as it hinderences power, anyway A series motors and pollution aren't used in the same sentence
Just block up the screw holes with the original bolts that hold on the main pollution part onto the inlet manifold and plug up some holes, diconnect a couple of wires and away you go.
No one would ever no the difference.
