    will this bolt up to a b6?

    This bolts up with no modifications?

    What intake do you use, for a carbed engine?

    The Carb off my b3 is causing the engine to race 3800 rmps any Ideas on how to tune a b3 carb?

    thanks

      the reason your car isn't running properly is because you tried to hybrid a second gen B6 head with a B3 intake and exhaust. this can only be properly done by using a FIRST gen B6 head.
      Trees aren't kind to me...

      currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
      94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

        My jets:

        Idle Jets
        primary=.050
        secondary=.055

        Main Jets
        primary=.140
        secondary=.145

        Air Correction Jets
        primary=.165
        secondary=.175

        Tried a .115 on primary main = bogged down, went back to .140
        Gonna try .125/.130 to see how that does. Trying to get best mileage and performance
        .
        A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.

          I have also been searching for a "step by step" R&R of the OE carb mess and replacement with the DGEV & Rocketman adapter? Ive yet to find one. It seems daunting as there is so much STUFF associated with the so called feedback carb on my 89.
