Technical / Re: Weber DCOE (Side draught) ...
Last post by JoKer - October 13, 2025, 09:32:55 PMahh stink & easy for me to say but I'd probably visit an oldschool Dyno guy who's got a box of Jets and an o2 sensor to pop in the tail pipe
thats kinda what I did with the Twin Dellorto's setup on mine
half a days "work" test & tune isnt cheap either
there might be a 'base' formula for a 1600 (Escort?) but yeah wont be set written down for something like that I fear eh

Technical / Re: Weber DCOE (Side draught) ...
Last post by Doozer - October 13, 2025, 09:25:12 PMThis is what I have ready to bolt onto my 1600 after the rebuild. The biggest issue is trying to work out the jetting for the carb as it's a single pretending to be a double.
Weber in Aus who are the agents don't know, Weber in Akl had a guess, palmside in chch had a different opinion and any charts are different again.
If anyone has one fitted, I would be grateful to know the jetting. At least to start as a baseline.
Cheers Errol.

Technical / Weber DCOE (Side draught) Inta...
Last post by JoKer - October 13, 2025, 08:58:27 PMWas looking around for parts & stumbled upon this product oddly from Australia
https://www.weberperformance.com.au/product/hillman-avenger-uk-nz-weber-dcoe-manifold/
not sure of use BUT looks interesting & might be worth testing for anyone wanting a bit more bang than OEM TC's
Prices are October 2025 so don't sue me if they change over time

For Sale or Wanted / Hillman 1600
Last post by Doozer - October 08, 2025, 11:23:09 AMGreetings all, maybe someone can help out.
I'm after either a hot cam and head from a 1600 hillman or a complete engine?
If anyone has something sitting around or knows of someone, let me know.
Many thanks
Errol.

Last post by JoKer - October 02, 2025, 08:42:35 AMQuote from: streetracer75 on April 29, 2014, 01:35:11 AMWhat are we talking about cost wise for the actual boot lid? The Tiger type spoilers are available here but I prefer the moulded type, as I think they break the lines of the car up less.only 11 years later Yeah the "Black rubber" was an addon available back in the 80's & 90's though I have not seen alternative recently (might be time for a deep dive into Google hah
From memory, I thought they did a black rubberised version in the same style as yours (like the Escort and Capris) but I could be wrong?
Thanks.

Last post by JoKer - September 14, 2025, 03:07:42 PM2025 Update : mine is fine : putting it in the car when the paint was still wet probably is why it's flaked off the fan shroud..
I hear its around $600 these days the re-core according to new member Simon
Materials & Labour costs have risen etc
