hey peoples, wazs curious whether anyone has done a xf carby setup on the g180, i heard that they give some extra power and good flow, if anyone has done this sorta setup any suggestions on how hard or if its a straight bolt on, have the adaptor plates just had no time to sit down and nut it out, was told that the linkages may be difficult, so pls do tell if you have done this and if you can what i need to do before i pull the car apart.

also with turbos does anyone know of a decent yet not expensive way to setup a turbo or even a supercharger as i have one already but was told the pipe work may be expensive say over 1000 which could be spent elsewhere. the supercharger is good as it is geared pne so i can turn it on and off when needed, so any suggestions on these topics would be great

thanks

have a great nite peoples

The so called $1000 for piping that could be spent elsewhere... well you will never get as good a power gain spending $1000 on anything except forced induction. Its simply the best place to spend money.

If you have the adaptor plate for the carb, then all you need is to remove the throttle disc from the nikki, and bolt it on the weber. Then you need an air cleaner. It is a straight bolt on.

As far as cheap turbo kits and supercharger kits, keep your eye on the for sale forum, they pop up all the time. You should get some turbo/supercharger books so you can learn whats involved in fitting a turbo, etc.

Any bogginess down low on a stab of the loud pedal from flooding ?? Most likely not if your 100% content wit it.
What jets etc are U running ?? Does the adm stand for Automatic/electric choke, Downdraft, Mechanical secondaries.

I'm running a 34 on my G200, tuned properly she runs sweet as. This carby is ample for a street application on a fairly well ported/carbed head.

If you're going for big numbers, a 38dgms of a v6 capri would be better or twins.

Drivability is good, cold starts aren't too bad either, i stripped all of the choke shit off of it before i put it on. I had it rebuilt and then jetted to suit on the dyno, where it made 112Kw. Nothing crazy but it works well enough.
