Are the carbs steadied by anything or just held by the rubber hoses? They seem a bit heavy to hang too far out. Was wondering this recently as well Ah sorry didnt see this. Yes they are on purely by 4 silicone hoses. Deffinately not a problem. The carbs actually butt up against the manifold so there's no weight on the hoses - they just keep the carbs against the manifold. No strain at all.

Mmmmm interesting to know, at college the second years are working on some autograss buggies. The are using 1.8 and 1.6 zetec e's but using CVH manifolds and carbs using adaptor plates and keeping the coil pack. Will the later edis modual not work with carbs?[/quote]
The motorcraft external edis controller can be made to work on its own but the problem is u have no way to advance or retard it as thats usually done by the ecu. The mondeos have internal edis controllers in the ecy so they are a major pain to get to work.
The edis controller I'm on about has a vacuum pipe input for the advance/retarding.

not carbs but ITB's i'm sure everyones seen them by now ;D sorry but these are neither bike nor carburatted, but something i've been spending a few late nights designing nonetheless i plan to run them with a GT28RS and a few other bits and bobs

that was done at uni, hence the 'for students', at home i have a slightly less honest copy ;D.
i'm going on a 2 week proE course during easter, and trying to learn solid edge in my own time ;D ;D

catia is much better, i used pro/e at uni.
they are similar excep catia looks and feels better i reckon..
what's ITB stand for? are they throttle bodies but better? never really looked into injection stuff
|

individual throttle bodies, those are half finished, still missing linkages, injector holes, take offs etc.
they are just 1 throttle body per cylinder, the same as what most people refer to as throttle bodies, unless you mean on a standard engine you have a single throttle body for all the pots.
its the difference between a single choke carb and a set of bike carbs.......a standard engine has a single TB and the equivilent is individual TB's
the injection side of things is easier IMHO, purely because its more of a science, you have your sensors telling you what the engine is doing, and you adjust the fueling/ignition to suit, you have all the data laid out in front of you.
i find catia is 'nicer' to use, in terms of everythings simpler, laid out nice and easy, but i find that if you don't organise everything properly, you can end up with often strange problems. with solid works and proE eveyrthings much more methodical and long winded, but theres less chance of things doing unexpected nonsense.

Topi, what are you doing for a vacuum? cant see any take off's V8Chevette too Not needed youth! Only thing to connect is the fuel and the cables. Sorted What about the brake servo and (where needed) vac advance?

I think vacuum advance is fine on one pot, no need to connect all four. will from ppc made do with a pump from a diesel to work the brakes since diesels have no vacuum, might have been off a Peugeot i can't remember exactly.

It seems a bit of an effort to fit a vac pump, which is usually on the back of an alternator, when you could just tap each port and hook them up together Would have thought the only thing that would necessitate a vac pump would be if it was turboed.

I wouldn't bother with a vacuum pump at all, i'd just have a real non servo brake setup, I'm just repeating what will did for those who don't need/want to modify their brake setup.

You don't need to tap into each cylinder to run the brake servo, its fine just tapped into one and easy to do..
Never bothered with vac advance but again doesnt have to be made complicated with t-peices etc, can just be off one cylinder.
