well i guess i'll keep my eyes peeled for some SU's. If i can find them cheap enough I might pounce on it. Right now I have a problem with the rear end (which I think is a pinion bearing) and the tie rod on the passenger side. I've thought of buying a new rear end since I've heard that even installing a turbo to the stock motor can break the axles, not to mention a disc brake upgrade would be nice. The problem is, I have had little to no success finding a compatible rear end in the states. The stock diff that's in it now is a replacement from the original which had shredded spider gears. ugh

The twin SUs will tend to have a sligtly wider powerband/useful rpm range, and (properly eetup/specced to suit the motor) better throttle response, so the actual performance advantage is higher than any peak power number difference might suggest.

wheel hp i assume? that should more than 100 engine hp.

I was running 2 SU's on my a14 I bought them new from su midel I loved them after sussing out the correct needles. the Guys at midel are really helpfull. I recon I was pulling around the 90hp mark. Alot of fun.

nice. there's no tudor sedan in Malaysia.. haven't seen one.

Speaking of exhaust, I just got new exhaust Friday. It's still "stock" but it has no cat. I'm not really looking to make it fast just because of the labor and cost. I was really just curious. My goal is to fix the pinion bearing (not myself), fix the tie rod, re-trim the windshield and back glass, finish the interior, finish the bodywork and paint that bastard! I'm finally "almost" there; I can taste it!

if using dual hitachi's, properly setup, i think 100 HP is achievable. engine hp though. and you need better exhaust system than stock.

I have done nothing other than install the weber 32/36 and remove most or all of the emissions junk.

what other mods have been done to the motor? bigger valve, ported head, aftermarket header, cam, stuff like that can improve your ponies.

im kinda retarded when it comes to some of the technical details. Im more of a Do-it-yourselfer than a mechanic. So basically the the SU carbs are larger than the weber. What kind of HP difference are we talkin'?
