For Sale or Wanted / Wanted: 1600 engine South Isla...

Last post by Doozer - May 12, 2025, 09:26:44 PM

Wanted to buy a 1600 engine.

Ideally it would be in running condition, but open to whatever may be avaliable out there.

I'm situated in Timaru so South Island would be ideal, however always keen for a road trip...

Wrong part noted in the Image : awaiting further details from Seller (see Q&A)

Complete rack =

I am unsure of compatibility at this stage

for now Panic is over, but still seeking options for the Avenger Community (eg : I don't think this is a worry or Consumable)

"Inner Rack ends"

what are people doing for these in 2025?

I hear of a broken one stopping a car from returning to the road

I'm not even sure which "bit" hat is either & I'm hoping I never need to sort it myself as I understand they are NLA (No Longer Available)

Part #5?



edit : it the end of #5 that's failed :

Technical / Re: Weber dcoe jet sizing

Last post by JoKer - April 30, 2025, 10:49:51 AM

Hi Ya there Errol sorry can't help much but for my 1600 with Solex's then Dellorto's

I left it up to my local oldschool tuner to sort out on the Dyno aye

(A Rally guy with a Mk1 Escort who put a dyno in his shed, if you've ever heard of Yeti : that's him, Palmerston North Based but enters the Silver Fern & Otago every now & then, not much help to you I know sorry)

he had a lunchbox full of jets & sorted it with the O2 sensor in the tail pipe

worth the effort I reckon

Finding one of those guys might be the harder than info for a 1300 eh!

to add to that I just saw a recommendation for "Rapid in Timaru or SAS in Chch" for tuning from Josh (salesman @ Crowesport Subaru)

you could try them? Or see who they may recommend too

Technical / Weber dcoe jet sizing

Last post by Doozer - April 29, 2025, 06:08:11 PM

Good evening all, I'm new here so please bare with me.

I've been given a weber dcoe which has factory jetting. I'm looking to fit this to my 1300 which has a slightly lumpy can installed by a previous owner.
I've run the numbers through the weber calculator to determine approx jet sizes, but was wonder if anyone already has a single carb weber installed to their 1300 to cross check the jetting numbers against.

Many thanks
Errol.
