Title: Carburator options on street stroker
Post by: Pedalpusher on September 08, 2016, 08:53:29 am
Hi,

I have my -64 bug summer car and it's almost time to put it out of the streets for the cold season in here Finland.
And i'm puzzling what would I do with it's engine over the winter in preparation of the next summer.
I just went over the engine last winter, bearings, new cam, more CR etc so the base is quite fresh.

Mainly i'm wondering if a change in carburation from 42DCNF's(34 venturi) to 44IDF's(36 venturi for example) offer me better performance over the powerband.
I threw those two because I have now DCNF's in it and IDF's on the shelf.
Or would I just be throwing the driveability of them DCNF's for a sake of few newtons and horses because I love the driveability of the DCNF's, theyre so smooth throughout.

Engine spec:

1955cc 76x90,5
CB 5,6 H-beams
Scat Super D-port heads, 1,2mm deck, CR 10:1
Scat C55 cam
Scat 1.25:1
Bosch 010 with pertronix pointless
Chromoly pushrods
Flywheel 5,7kg

Ask if I forgot something important

I don't think there would be a noticeable gain. You've got a pretty nice combo as it is.
