When was the last time you saw a NEW go fast addition for the IDA that actually works?

At SCC i had the pleasure of testing out some prototype venturies for JPM.
Usually I´m around 176kmh top speed on the 1/4mile. After spending 15 minutes installing the new venturies, I had a top speed of 180,45kmh... No time for testing different jetting setups before the rain came on Sunday, so perhaps there´s even more hp to be found?

Installed one of the old 44mm venturies so you can see the difference. Pretty cool huh?

With the JPM venturi do you no longer run the auxiliary venturi?

Ah, that would explain the impressive flow gains. Them there aux vents restrict airflow like mofos! Good old Johannes - he's da man!

Sounds cool, they are still 44mm? also available in other sizes? Can someone explain why no auxilary vents is an improvement? What does the auxilary vent do in the first place? Trying to learn Smiley

That is a interesting question, and should produce a interesting reply. I mean what is a 44? is it a given depression (suction) or just a mm size.

I can see some of these babies in my future...

No mods are required at all to run these - Brilliant!. Yep, theres a small nozzle that lets the fuel in.

They will be available in different sizes from what I understand, Im sure 42mm. I think Johannes will try to have a few sets for sale on his Dyno Day 15th of october.

A timely post!
I just spoke with Johannes this past week and he mentioned the new parts he's been working on. Seems that there's just a bit more testing and fine tuning he wants to do ... always the perfectionist!

I hope he makes a LOT of them! Why would anyone NOT want such an improvement? Especially for 'all out' engines, street or strip ...  Wink

Johannes has asked me kindly not to put pics of the venturies themselves on the web because they are not completely finished.  Wink

could it be... jpm  cnc's a "perfect" or ideal venturi for the ida size? 

either way.. awesome awesome work and development,

though carbs are old compare to efi.. it is fresh to see more developments done to it for improvements
vs  the "we're stuck with what the bandwagon does and it works"  nothing wrong with that
but absolutely nothing wrong with moving forward with innovation too!!

good job johannes


i do hope this offer comes down to include weber 44 idf's as i recently got a pair.. Smiley  Grin Grin

How are they on the street? is there enough "suction" to obtain a proper progression from idle to mains when used on the street?
Or are they only to be used on race engines?

Looks clean and simple!

Starts up and runs just as easily as with the old ones. I haven't had a lot of street miles on these, but the initial impression is very good!

Bruce, honestly at the SCC I can't remember because we used some that Johannes brought. F22s perhaps? Will find out.
Afterwards I installed my F2s which I have run for some years.

Well, it seemed my car chose to not perform ideally on the sticky Gardermoen track. Need to work on my chassis setup.
I got at best a 1,7 60ft. ETs over the weekend was in the 12,1-12,5 range with the best ET on the last run 12,18 if memory serves me correctly.

A name comes to my mind, annular discharge venturi.
Held in place by the same spring-clip as the regular one, I guess. No need to invent new way of doing it?

Been a little while since I've been inside an IDA, but I believe the venturi is retained by the auxiliary venturi, which is held in place by a set screw. So if there is no auxiliary venturi...

Centered by the same groove that hold the original. Zach, italian IDA´s don´t have a set screw.
