well, i've had a gutfull of not having a 1200 to drive, and as the injection option is going to be expensive to setup, but mainly very expensive to tune, i think i might chuck a carby (32/36) on there for the time being to at least give me something to drive, then when funds permit ill go to injection

i've put so much money into the car it just ####s me that its been sitting to near 6mths now, it's a step backwards as far as the project goes but at least the project will actually move (literally) for a change

it's dissapointing for me to say it, but it seems the best option at this time

Only 6 mounths,this blask duck has been workin on my ISUZUKI for 5 years and still have not had a drive in it.Rear springs,exhaust,roll frame and a 700amp hour battery then to pass machinery for the mods.Then also rebuild 2 B210s for twins before EASTER.In the same boat as you no $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I'm still collecting parts for my '32 model for over 25 years now, & it will be at least another 5 before i can get to it. It took me 2-1/2 years just to find my hemi engine & get it home. You gotta expand your mind.
I first bought my '33 coupe in 1967 & i will have it on the road [yet again] sometime this decade.

My factory-stock 1200 just keeps driving ... with me spending no money on keeping it going

1200rc, I think it is a good idea -- throw a carb on it, and get it running so you can enjoy driving it. Then later you can fit the EFI.

Its the old practicality versus idealism debate. Practicallity will win every time.

yeah i think thats what im gonna do, the carby that is for now, i dont have a car to drive otherwise, thats where the problem is, also i have to pay the reg as i dont want to have to try to get a road worthy certificate later on, so im loosing money if it just sits there

well i've been thinking, again, i think i'll set her up running 7-8psi boost down a weber 32/36, that way i wont even need to box the carby, (apparently they can take upto 10psi, is that right?) without blowing petrol out the seals?

just need to get my head, some solid floats for the fuel bowls (where do i get them?),

if its too much trouble sealing the boost into the top of the weber i may just use a hitachi with the adaptor thing the vanettes have on them, but will have to see how i go, would prefer the 32/36

and then if i want more boost or it doesnt seem to hold that boost i'll make up a box for the carby,


of course this is all temporary till i can get inject on there in one way or another, but i figure once i get the head it'll only take a week or twos work to set the carby up as i have 90% of the bits i need



"I'M EXCITED"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yep, that's right, big kev style

please let me know why you think you need so much money to put the EFI on?

well see im a bit unsure on this, basically i was going to get my mechanic to set it up, i wanted an aftermarket computer to do it with, and he tells me its gonna cost a fair bit to get running right

the computer will be say 200-250, then inectors may need replacing with bigger ones, but i think mainly the labour cost associated with tunning the computer is going to kill me, i would love to stretch to run spark through the ecu aswell but this is just going to mean more tunning costs?, i mean im going to be scared to set up the ecu settings myself cause ive heard horror stories of turbo motors dying in ten minutes, and not knowing what im doing i risk dettonation and leaning out and all that crap, i also dont have the tools at home to measure anything while trying to set it up

tell me what you think, honestly cause you obviously know more about it than me??

[edit] i have no probs seting it up as far as mounting and wirring everything, its just like i said the programming of it
