Hello all, I have an engine which is set to run with the 51mm FAJS IDA's, I have in them already the Johannes's venturis and power jet, having anyway the power jets installed I decided to interchange the vertical hose with a clear one so as to check the level in the bowls directly, now, has anyone a prompt answer on what exactly this level has to be -on the correct pressure- in mm from eg the parting line of the carb cap and its body? I'm asking as I suggest all the data is given for making a "dry" setting of the float, with the cap removed, or to check the level from the bottom of the bowl, but this is still with no float imersed in the petrol, so still volume immersed missing, see different height, just let me know please if you have any experience on this kind of alternative  setting, thanks for looking https://photos.app.goo.gl/irZwjRfmhRkcGDnP7Friendly Dimitrios 5.5 mm level 0.18/19 bar |

This car has covered very little ground since it was built, Chris never really had a chance to get it dialed in. Last weekend I helped rectify that. The suspension needed some fine tuning- it had settled down too low, had no front sway bar and the tires were 15+ years old and hard as rocks.
We installed beam stiffeners, 14mm Thing sway bar, raised the left rear ≈1" and adjusted the front up a scosh. And new tires (185/60's, 215/65's) which saved over 11lbs. It’s far more composed and controllable now. Some adjustments still need to be made on the sway bar (standard sway bar on 2" narrowed beam) but it's getting there and a huge improvement over where it was.
The front end grips very well now but the rear end with its original 21mm torsion bars, Z bar delete with camber compensator feels pretty sloppy to me. Feels like it's ready to lift off oversteer when pushing it. I wonder if earlier 22mm bars would be a decent improvement (math says 20% stiffer) or go with some much larger SAW 24mm bars...
Whose beam stiffeners did you go with? I've been debating getting a pair for my '67, the Empi ones look like crap but the CSP ones might not fit my 2" narrowed beam. They were original VW. I put CSP on the GTV years ago and from memory they seem to be exactly the same. This ‘67 also has a 2” beam and the stiffeners do just barely fit… however the grease zerks are now inside the clamps (inaccessible) and I did have to trim away the steering stop bracket but it wasn’t being used anyway. Good to know about the steering stop bracket interference, that's something I actually like having on my car so I'd be pretty wary of having to cut into it too much. I meant to mention in my earlier response as well, going to 22mm rear torsion bars is a smart idea, I have a newer Empi camber compensator on my car which definitely helps but having a stronger spring rate and maybe stiffer spring plates could really keep the rear planted. The steering stop wasn't being used and as I found out most narrowed beams don't come with one anyway so it wasn't a big loss. It's totally fine without it. We've ordered new SAW 24mm torsion bars but they're backordered so It'll be a little while before they find their way in. I did the math and that's 70% stiffer than the 21's. The rear control/handling with the original bars is not great. The car has always had a SAW camber comp but I really am starting to think that style is not beneficial, I think the EMPI/CB type will actually act more as a sway bar so we may swap in one of those in the future. |
