my m8 has a c20xe running carbs n it is pushing 195bhp :D

As said above.

Also, with TB u set it up once and once 've got it right ur sorted. PLus u can get more power gains with Throttle bodies and a decent engine managment system.

Carbs need to be re-setup all the time. Pain in the arse. Can't sqeeze as much power as throttle bodies.

Hmm, everdays a school day on cs eh ? :lol:

Cheers for the replies :)

yip standard ecu kinda sucks with tbs.

you dont need ecu for carbs.

quite the opposite, an aftermarket mappable ecu runs tbs far better than a chip etc, a worth while upgrade for the remapablility with a laptop!

So do u junk the ECU with tbs ?

so basically carbs just chuck the mixture in and tbs measure how much of the mixture needs to be put in at any revs :)

Yer, the spec is -

2.0 16v
twin 45s
Kent cams
TVR Brundell head (Ported, polished and skimmed)
Scorpion back box
Facet fuel pump
and oversize shafts, hubs and CVs. :)

Hes also got one of them shiney bailey header tanks with the oil breather mod.

Realy dont like the rest of the car tho, its been resprayed in a horrible pinky/red flip :o

i always put tbs down as fuel injected twin 40s/45s/48s.

and as said tbs fuel one cylinder each

u will need fuel regulator, best to run at 3psi

They rekon its 178 bhp at the wheels. Got some other bits as well.

i want twin webers on my c20xe

twin carbs serves 2 cylinders each, throttle bodies serve each cylinder separate..........i think..

Theres a nova in this months TV with a C20XE on twin 45s. They look similar to what i thought was throttle bodies on the same engine (different car) at PV2003.

Cheers. :)
