I know that once i get my car going ill want more power and was thinking of getting a bigger carb, what do uz think? is there any that will almost or just bolt straight on on that is bigger or more effient?
Well first of all you need to check what you have under the hood!
Read the builders tag on the firewall to be sure what engine you have:
*if it reads GA16i then you probably dont want to put a carb on since your car is throttle body fuel injected.
*if it reads GA16s then a carb is an option. Off the top of my head I cant think of to many larger carbs that might fit. The CA20s from a really old 200SX might work, probably need an adapter though. You could also consider swapping the intake system and ECU to a GA16i unit. The TBI system should be an improvement over carburation.
ok cheers for tht. It wont tell me on the tag cos i have replaced engine. the old one was a GA15s and my new one is just the 1600cc version but DOHC. What the s for? i didnt really want to go EFI cos i dont want to go thro the hassle of all new wiring and computer etc.
Engine codes that end in 'S' are carbuated. The engine codes are read as:
FFNNxxAA
FF - this is the family. IN our cases it will be GA, SR, CA, KA, etc. If you see an R here, its likely a sporty motor. If you see a G its likely an economy motor.
NN - displacement in centilitres. ie 16 means 1.6L
xx - fuel system. S means carbed. i means throttle body injection. DE means multiport fuel injection. (2004 and newer motors may not follow this pattern)
AA - special features. If you see an R here it is supercharged. Likewise T is turbocharged, and TT is twin turbocharged.
For example: RB26DETT -> RB family (R indicates performance), 2.6L, multiport fuel injection, twin turbo.
Unless your new motor isnt from the GA family, the only 1600cc DOHC version I know of is the GA16DE. This motor is MPFI injected and 2 generations newer than carburation.
