#1 New Carb for 120y
jamesrww Posted on: 2014/10/6 1:44
Hi all,
I am looking to get a bit more power out of my 120y, I have got a set of extractors and will be getting a new exhaust. I am looking at a new carb and found this one on ebay,

http://www.ebay.com.au.au/itm/DATSUN- ... ories&hash=item2596a3fa27

Before I spend $750 I was wondering if anyone had used one of these and what they are like ?

Thanks

James

I haven't brought one, but your link is broken. Correct link is here:

I don't see why this wouldn't work. If you're still using the stock head off the A12, it should fit fine.

Thanks Flatto, Do you think it would give me a noticeable performance increase ?

An opinion from one of the more experienced members would be able to give you a better idea on that.

Since you're still using a standard block/head, increasing the flow will only do so much. You'll be limited by how much fuel/air the engine can burn, all you're doing in making sure it can get the maximum it can use. I would have thought something like 10% extra in some areas of the rev range would be likely.

If it were me, I'd be sourcing a second hand downdraft option ($100) and saving that money for working a new engine.

Spend the $ on a good used A14 and fit a DGAV Weber if you feel the need.
Bang for the buck you'll be way in front.
