Carb tuning
I want to tune up my 1.6 liter '87 E30 316 BMW. I have a friend who has
gas analyzer, but I do not knew what to aim for. If I remember well, when BMW dealer serviced my car CO should be ~1% at idle, but what about HC? -- ___ ____ /__/ / \ ** Registrovani korisnik Linuksa #291606 ** / / \/ /\ \ ** Registered Linux user #291606 ** /__/\____/--\__\ ** http://counter.li.org/ ** |

You'll get more power and better mpg. The M10 engine is very responsive to tuning. -- Who needs a life when you've got Unix? :-) Email: , John G.Burns B.Eng, Bonny Scotland Web : http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk - The Ultimate BMW Homepage!

Carb tuning
Nedavno John Burns pise:
| It's not a 1.6, it's a 1.8! It's just called a 316. I used to have | one. No it is not 1.8, it's 1.6. Most of the world had 1.8 but for Greece and former Yugoslavia (I'm in Serbia) it was 1.6. | Ditch the Pierburg carb and get a Weber. You'll get more power and | better mpg. The M10 engine is very responsive to tuning. I was considering that. I actually bought two Solex PHH but I could not make them work on LPG (I both petrol and LPG). As for Weber carbs are quite expensive, and shipping to Serbia (and customs) costs make them even more expensive for a twenty year old car. -- ___ ____ /__/ / \ ** Registrovani korisnik Linuksa #291606 ** / / \/ /\ \ ** Registered Linux user #291606 ** /__/\____/--\__\ ** http://counter.li.org/ ** |
