[Fot] injection vs webers

[Keith Files]

Terry,

If it is a GT6 that you are working on then another Jon, Jon Wolfe, here in
the UK has many years of racing Spitfires, GT6s, and TR7 V8s and has written
several books on the subject.

Google tr7v8-racing and click on Jon Wolfe's marvellous Triumph Racing
pages.

Cheers, Keith.

Hi Terry,

Can't supply any technical detail but would tell you that all of the
successful TR5/6 racers in the UK have converted to triple 45 DCOE's in
order to a) eliminate the 4000 rpm 'black hole' that you get with the Lucas
PI and b) to extract more power at up to 8000 rpm (depending on cam profile
of course).

Jon Wood in the UK has been the leading light on these conversions and it
was him who finally persuaded me to move from the PI system, after years of
development and cost, to Webers; I have never looked back.

Cheers, Keith.

I'm preparing for some dyno work on our spare 2500 race engine. It currently
runs Lucas injection (very sucessfully), but I'm tempted to try some webers
to get a bit more mid range punch. Has anyone does any back-to-back
comparisions with 40 vs 42 vs 45 or even vs Lucas injection??
I've got various sets of webers to try, but would appreciate any comments
before I start out
Thanks, terry o'beirne, Australia
