Anyone need a bigger 4bbl carb?

[Guest]

Long story.

I have a Quick Fuel Q650 with about 500 miles on it.
It's too big for my engine. I was at the dyno today, and it was a mess.

I need a Holley 465 (0-1848-1).
New, or in comparable condition.
Anyone want to do a swap?

Which car Alan were you trying to dial in, the TR8?

 

[Guest]

well it wasn't the 6, with that on it :wink:

Yeah - just making conversation.

i have some really unattractive dyno plots and my wallet is lighter.
my off idle stumble is better, and i'm staying above 10:1 all through the pull, but that's about it. i now have a rather unpleasant cyclical surge at steady cruise at 85 in exchange though.

sigh

Tom,

If he would put a supercharger on that TR6, I'll bet he could get a 4bbl to work.

That will set Alan off....

Good night all......

Wait - check this out;

I have the same surge and it's been driving me batty and promoting visions of a large $$$ outflow.

It's already capped.
My problem is that I'm overcarb'd and the tuner can't choke it down enough.
I have a massive torque dip in the 2000-3500 rpm range where it goes rich.

Perhaps I'll just buy this:

A better option?

Looking to do an updated injection system on the TR8 now? Can't say that I blame you.

One of these systems would be nice. You can even use your existing manifold thought it would have to have some custom machining done to it. :thumbsup:

Not at that money. I have a 97 disco engine.
I can buy a complete 14CUX setup with NEW ($500) injectors for 1/2 that.
And it won't need tuning when it's installed...

Now if (when?) I get a bigger engine, then we'll talk about something else. Until then, stock LR is the way to go here. True plug and play...

Alan- Ask Woody if he'll take it back for a little less.
