My n/a super b3 build

[drumnerd33]

Yes i do, just have never done it. Only done basic stock rebuilds before, this is my first high performance build, so matt told me i need to do this, honestly i had no idea, so im going through everything matt is saying to do, my uncle is a master mechanic so he will help me do some of the stuff i dont quite understand. Itll be good to learn, and have all the info written down, and like matt said once engine is ready to crank i can sit down and turn the key without holding my breath and closing my eyes.

I just know if that was my project.
You wouldn't be able to pull me away from it.
I probably wouldn't eat or sleep in days.
When I did my stereo install I put 50hrs straight into it.
If I ever built an engine I would probably die from workin on it so long.

Plus I was looking at eye of ras posts and for 2-3years he was constantly saying his engine was almost done and how powerful it was gonna be talking it up all the way up to his last posts when it still wasn't done and then he dissappeared. We don't want another one of those now.

No that won't be happening here. Gonna clean tomorrow and try and start painting maybe Monday. Then hopefully start the blue printing by the end of the week

The mpg at 38-40 is without the turbo. so he is at 112 whp.

OK, so if I have this right, 112 whp, 40mpg, N/A, right? That is AWESOME.

what kind of carb are you using? are you re-jetting?

[drumnerd33]

I am running a 32/36 weber dgev, i already had tuned it to the stock motor so now i will have to tune it again... so yes will rejet but its really simple. /my uncle is a mechanic of like 30+ years so done lots of carb work and owned his own fiat shop in california, so he has dealt alot with weber carbs and this being my first time using a carb he helped me out and taught me a few of the old timer tricks. So first of all i started with a short band afr (air to fuel ratio) gauge and tuned with it and by feel of driving, got it really close then updated to wideband afr and is much easier to use for tuning.

For jetting i was looking at the kits that have all the jets when my uncle told me not to do that and started helping me tune it. he showed how you take out the jet and use a plumbers solder and a blow torch, you heat up the end of the jet and solder it shut, then he has a set of weber jet drill bits and you drill it to the size you want. This worked very well for me and will do the same thing this time, once i get it dialed in will order the size jets that i have drill to so thats its more permanent.

[festyfreak39]

that is intense,

carb tuning has always been black magic sorcery to me.

[drumnerd33]

lol yeah me too at first but once my uncle walked me through it really isnt that hard. I also looked up online and researched how they work and that helped me understand what was happening when i was tuning.

looking good i cant wait to hear this thing go....
