Triple Weber Carbs, L26

[miniimoto95]

i want triple side drafts on my ford 6... dammit, inline 6's with triple carbs sound sexy

[mooddog280Z]

hey just wondering if you could tell me your jet setup, and is it pretty streetable?

[longhorn261]

What was the final jetting for the l26 i just purchased a Z with the l26 and triple webers but the guy said he bought the carbs off a guy who had them tuned for a stroked l28. So it runs a little rich at the moment.

Chokes - 32

Mains - 130

Emulsion - F11

Pump Jet - 45

Idle Jet - 50f6

Update. I miss this setup. It just worked, and worked well. They are easy enough to tune and when they are tuned they are beautiful. I am running an L28ET setup now and building a megasquirt system for the car. Ran out of funds with the change of a job. Car sits. I miss her. =(

[MrJTHinton]

Got the triples with the car. Otherwise I see them online going for around $1000 a set to almost $2000 new in some areas. I think 200 whp is easily obtainable with them. But, you will need more than just the carbs for that.

This car was probably close to it at that build. You can put the most efficient carb setup in the world, but it's still bottle necked in the head.

Hey mate, how much power are you making out of that? I've bought an ex 260Z L26 with the factory SU's on it for my HR30 Skyline, which is currently L20E powered and lets just say its not the fastest thing around ha... Really just looking for some advice on how to get decent power out of the 26, set myself a limit of 200hp, i'll be more than happy with that.

[AcomsRazor1776]

@ScotchRB30DET #1 a stock L26 had a max of 140 crank horsepower WITHOUT any accessories, that mean no AC, no Alternator, and no fan. Nothing to drag power away. you are looking at an at least 5-15 HP loss with all accessories. #2 your engine is nearly 40 years old. It's going to have lost another 10-15 horsepower just from age. Factoring that in your engine is probably only making between 100-120 horsepower. To hit 200 you have to make at least an 80 HP gain which is not easy nor cheap.

[AcomsRazor1776]

@ScotchRB30DET (continued) The very 1st thing you need to start off with is a COMPLETE and total rebuild. New seals new rings Valve grind, cylinder honing, the works. And this is only going to get you back what you have already lost. Next you'll need to port and polish your head and add a cam. No sense in adding triple webers if your heads won't flow. you'll also might want to have your head milled down a few MM in order to increase your compression ratio but you'll need to shim your cam towers.

[pepene93]

not a fan of carbs personally, but that shit sounds gooood! 

[9yearoldpedow00t]

nice car man how much were those triple webs?

[theleakytaps]

nice to see your keeping the original engine

[highdeserthater]

it was the skyline before the skyline. it was the datsun z car!!!!

[thebluemaggot]

@highdeserthater Nissan has been  been producing the Skyline since the late 60's

[highdeserthater]

@thebluemaggot HA i did not know that! sweet!

[slicktrx]

got to love the L series tappet noise

[naturalthing1]

Get some 48's, 50's or 55mm's

[ogzsnr]

Why very high valve sound?

[Bunddy1993]

What Car is that

[MrMecrob1]

@Bunddy1993 260z

[deadflo]

Sounds real good, man! Did you do some headwork as well? I have a stock 240-Z and 280-ZX. I sort of wound up with a 280Z with triples from my neighbor. It doesn't run, and Im trying to figure out where to start. The throttle is real stiff, you can hardly move it at all. Looking at your setup gives me some ideas about what might be wrong with this guys setup.

[5769JJ]

got a loose valve....time to check the lash. Love it though.....cool to see an L26 under some mods!

[LMJRLC]

is that a 250

[Nickelik]

sounds like BMW^^

[Bunddy1993]

@Nickelik Wow Youve know alot about BMWS if you think that car sounds like one, Fuck r u retarded....Go listen to a beema and then listen to this car again

[naturalthing1]

40mm are gay..especially with air cleaners.

Quit being cheap and get you an L28

[nofgob]

I have a built L28ET now, with 60 trim T3/T4, and a FMIC. Building MegaSquirt now with wide band. I'm not cheap, just poor. But thanks for the advice. =)

[hoov100]

Right, because having the correct size carbs on his car is gay....

[STREWNGC]

@naturalthing1

these carbs are expensive

[cw147]

@naturalthing1 40mm is still pretty big, and there is 3 of them. and those foam air filters hardly slow the air at all, i used to have them on my 45s.

[SupraCelica98]

Gotta question.

what displacement is the l26.

I have a bmw 325es with the 2.7L six

and i want to get three duces with velocity stacks. i was curious about what the CFM should be for my displacement and compression

[dexterrogers]

my vote goes to either a weber 40dcoe or if your really going for it go weber 45's. the great thing about these side draft webers is that you can change the cfm to whatever you want really. I run 45 dcoe's with 36mm chokes on my 3.0L which is right about what the weber tuning manual recommends. I'd say choose your inlet (40, 45, 50 or 55) based on how high you want to rev it, then choose your choke to get you bottom end right. it's a bit of a lost art multi carb tuning, not easy but rewarding

[takulovesanime]

the L26 is a 2.6L most engines have the displacement in the engine model name.

[SupraCelica98]

Not to be rude but no shit. I appriciate your trying to help but im well aware of this fact. many cars have thier engines displacement as thier name I.E. BMW 325 (3 series 2.5 litre)  i need to know because if i put carbs that are two small it will lean out and vi versa. many people that convert to carbs have also done other things, such as compression changes and what not that affect the overall displacement of the engine. That is why I asked what size.

[takulovesanime]

Holy shit you have problems dude. How was i suppose to know all that by just seeing "what displacement is the l26" that's all i read so i answered your question and its not like i knew you knew that in the first place.... chill dude.

[SupraCelica98]

yeah i did kinda od.

[germomr2]

wow that kid gets excited quickly eh?

[elmejordel95]

were did u get that kit

[GodDamnthissuckx]

sweet, i kinda wish i didnt junk my l26, original engine, nowi have an l28, honestly i wish mine knocked like that, i htink i have my too tight, dosnt feel right, idk, ill break out a feeler gauge one day and go from there, sweet setup, sounds liek its got hell of alot of response

[Zedman260]

All L series engines have loud rocker noise when you install a lumpy cam...and plasticspastic...how appropriate is your username! Nice setup though!

[v33sonata]

I hear that. My valves were a bit loose on an aftermarket cam. But, it was really running good like that. That's pretty cold. No knocking you stupid fu**. But, thanks for the ignorant comment none the less.

[getwrecked17]

mine sounds almost that bad , valves are so off :D

[plasticspastic201]

its knockin its nuts off you dull cunt

[hemikia]

sounds good man

[bluestreak620]

VROOOM! instant banning for you! :) lolz

[DesertRat1321]

What?

[Bunddy1993]

@bluestreak620 Shut the fuck up and stop confusing him...
