polo on bike carbs

[MultiLilman16]

ive got a mk3 polo coupe for a project i was thinking of doing this to it, how much does it cost and whats the performance like after the conversion?

[mrpiehole]

this may be a stupid question but i'm not sure, would the bike carbs fit the same if it was a polo breadvan?

[isnowi]

@mrpiehole Shouldn't make any difference whatsoever..

[mrpiehole]

@mrpiehole niceee

[DarkInjection]

how much your setup costs?

[Iam18yearsolddddd]

engine displacement and output power? 

[isnowi]

@Iam18yearsolddddd

1272cc, stock output is 55hp, no idea what my one put out,but my ass dyno (which is more than likely well out of calibration) says around 75hp.

@isnowi wat u hav done to urs? I take it as u got 1.2l 3 cylinder engine?

[richardwadd]

Where did you source brake vacum from?

[isnowi]

@richardwadd - No brake booster so no need for a vacuum signal. I did take a 5mm tube off each runner and combine them with one way valves for the dissy vacuum though,

[richardwadd]

@isnowi Cool, thanks

[atsernov]

@isnowi Have you removed the 1 way valves yet? They will keep your advance from returning like it's supposed to when you open up the throtle.

Or have you got some other bypass set up so solve that?

[isnowi]

@atsernov

Yeah that was a failed experiment, in the end it ran best with very equal length tubes joined into one very long tube onto the dizzy, if i had it still i would have probably fixed the dizzy and recurved the spring weight curve to get it just the way i wanted, alas it is now someone elses toy.

@isnowi can you tell me what dizzy means? im not from UK

[karashibass]

@rclio333 Distributor.

@isnowi can you tell me what dizzy means? in not from UK

[agothor]

What are you waiting for?? Redline it!!!

[mrxbrightside]

im in the process of installing CBR600 carbs onto my 1272cc polo saloon :)

sounds pretty good, but wish we could hear it revving more

[michelinov]

damn it give that thing some gas so we can hear it ! Good job anyway

[alarpoiss]

i like it - got a new idea from here to my old lady :p

[embernach]

Great man!! How many cc is the engine,

1100, 1300cc? I had the same plan's for my Fiat 127 1300 engine, I have a Keihin CVK 40mm waiting for it, but think 40mm is maybe to big, I haven't found the right information yet. Cheers from the Netherlands!

[iowpologt]

its got hydrolic tappets they can only be replaced not adjusted

[isnowi]

actually it's an early head with solid lifters.

[isnowi]

I'm assuming you are referring to the tapping, which is actually the cam followers being out of adjustment, it has subsequently been adjusted following a top end rebuild, still got a whine though, think it must be the oil pump....

[LregG]

the whine may well be the dizzy, i had the same noise on my mk1 polo, change the bearing pack that holds the spindle and it'll go

[emfjohn]

sounds like your cam knocking

[bevvo247]

alrite m8, iv got 1.6 mk2 golf, just brought sum 1000 gsxr carbs for it, did u just bolt yours on and ran it or do i need to jet and balance mine?

[isnowi]

Carbs were stripped and cleaned, a few worn bits replaced, rebalanced, and thrown on, then commenced a lot of trial and error tuning. Watch the gsxr carbs, they are prone to wearing the slides, needles and emulsion tubes very quickly. Mine are marginal at best, will be looking for some newer carbs in better condition. Full throttle response is fine, but part throttle (less than 1/4) and idle is prettty inconsistent.

[scottisatwat]

Hi nice carbs, im currently in the middle of putting bike carbs on my 1.1 106 purley for the noise and was wondering what filters your using? and how much were they cheers

[isnowi]

It's a set of ebay specials, cost me about $30USD shipped.

Cheers, Dan

[agothor]

What type of carbs do you use?

[isnowi]

It's got GSXR750 slingshot carbs on it, theyre mikuni 36mm flatslides.

[getrapedumug]

what els has bin done to thiss ??

i have a MH engin in my mk 2

and im thinking of bike carbs

are you still running the standard cam ??

[isnowi]

Hey mate, it's running an HK, mechanical head motor, electronic ignition from a seat, other than that all stock. AFAIK the HK std cam is about as good as it gets for this motor without spending mega $. Once the carbs are dialled in properly i will probably recurve the dissy, to try and get a little more out of it, may shave the head to bump the CR up a bit to, we'll see.

cheers, Dan

[getrapedumug]

awesomee cheers mann

what carbs are theyy ??

im currently making a manifold at the moo at work
