@michaelnagy4603 yes some but with a little time on tuning it will work good. Won't be as good as a single 44 but will work good. Already done it years ago
No I do not. On cars that I don't care to save the Intake I cut the passenger side heat tube on the intake center section and then its much easier to remove parts
@@berrysblowers6411 Oh I see, you're talking like drag race only? Yeah, if the throttle is only either at idle or at wide open then a vacuum advance wouldn't really be doing anything.
Are you new to VW's? How much of that carb flow do you expect to pull through that 1.5" manifold? One piston pulling all that carb at once.......lol. Might wanna consider some fifties tech as an improvement.
Actually it's s 1 5/8 tube and on the correct size engine it works perfectly!!! Been there done that for last 21 years. I was just using the 1641 to play
That's pretty cool. Never seen an Eddy (or clone) on a bug motor before. I like them because they can hold a tune- set it and forget it. FYI- you actually DECREASED the amount of accelerator pump shot by moving it to the outer-most hole. When you use the holes closer to the fulcrum it increases the pump shot. If you find it's not squirting immediately off idle using one of those inner holes it's because the pump cup is rising above the bore of the accelerator pump cavity inside the carb and isn't giving you an immediate shot of fuel. TO FIX: you're supposed to bend (yes, BEND!) the linkage going to the pump arm straighter until it does squirt immediately off idle. I mention this because you've got it on an air-cooled engine and it's a LONG way from the carb to those intake valves! You might find you need that larger pump shot volume when you nail the throttle out on the road under actual operating load.
Well I'll be damned. I had a 1600 dual-port with a bug-spray I thought was the S when I was 16. I didn't think there was enough displacement to support a 4 barrel ( unless maybe you went with the 92mm jugs). Sounds good for 1641 !
Brilliant video. Does pulley size influance the psi the blower puts out? Ratio rockers say 1.25/1 help will with breathing more air into the motor? Electronic or vacuum boost gauge = what is the best? Distributor std bosch with petronix or after market kits is the best too use?
The ignition is a 009 size with a 90 degree cap and yes smaller the pulley more the boost but I highly suggest a stock blower pulley on a 1600. And yes ratio rockers help
Hello, I was wondering, do these kits fit under a 66 beetle bonnet without deck lid hinge adjusters as I would be buying from the uk and want the stock look on the outside of the car but with the 40 DCOE Weber
This kit should. The ones I have issues with is the late 1950s and early 1960s. Those decklid touch the carburator. I do have the style intake that will clear the decklid but you would probably have to rotate your alternater to the left. Thank you for your interest
@@berrysblowers6411 my idfs are of course 3lbs of pressure. I know that carb would be 8lbs on a V8. I just don't want the headache of Webber's anymore.
Just being honest, watching someone rev an engine on a test stand has the value of a can of beans in a dollar store which is what's happening in all of these videos. Get this stuff on a dyno and in a car if you want this to go anywhere. Call me whatever you want, but the dynamics change radically when you apply load.
You are correct and I put this engine together just to abuse it, and the valves are floating but the dyno I use is almost 3 hours away. No one close to me can do vw. But me abusing this engine does tell me things I need to know. And when I build new engine I brake them in on this stand and get the carb and rockers set and do a couple oil changes ans when it goes into a vehicle I have very little to do before I drive it.
I can't help but love the 'because fuck you, that's why' look of this, but I doubt looking at this from a fluid dynamics standpoint that this would flow very well Still really like it tho
These chinese copies are usually quite good quality... unfortunately, in some cases, better than originals.... i has bunch of chinese motorcycle carburetors and they are really good...
Cause I said all I have is a 600 and I have MANY times I. The past have a 600 work perfectly on a 1641 but that was with a turbo pushing 15 psi boost and plus i was just having fun that day playing
I know I been down this many times. It's what I had and I just wanted to play but I have had 600 and 700 on vw engines and working perfectly since 1988 but those was with turbos
@@berrysblowers6411 nothing wrong with seeing how big you can go. You'd be surprised just how much you can oversize a carb before the signal gets really silly. Vacuum secondary stuff is pretty tolerant.
You need to feed the carbs into a plenum that hast the combined area of all 3 carbs.. Trying to feed the super charger through a manifold that is too small limits the flow into the super charger. At this point you are better off with one carb.
It was never meant to be a full all out powerhouse. Its like the old flathead guys that put 3 /2 barrel carbs on adapter to a 4 barrel intake. It's about the look. And the blower has almost the same size inlet as the size of the tube. And bot every thing in life have to be perfect to enjoy
2 comments. First fix the ac pump issue before you go on to something else. Second, the high rpm flutter I hear looks like you're starting to tip into too rich of mixture due to the choke being closed a tad long on your throttle whip.
The carburator is toast. The pump jet is good, but the carburator is all ate out from corrosion. I choked it some tonget it to even rev up. It has no pump jet working and yes the secondary on this carb is jetting wrong but it was only a test and I did finally order a new one and this will go back on the shelf to be used to make templates for something else
It's what I had and definitely a different carburator would be better but you use what you got when testing but I have had a 600 on a 1641 with turbo and it worked great at 15 psi boost
