fitting 34ict dual today ..any helpful tips please

Fitting me ict,s today and was wondering if theres any helpful tips to make my life easy whilst doing the job......

 

Get a city and guilds qualified mechanic to do it.

 

Yay i have that badge .......sorting me stuff last week ...can only find2 of me city n guild certs....one for underbody and brakes and another for servicing and sumthing else......so im half a job until i fi d the rest .....loooool

 

Not sure of your terminology but if you're fitting a set of dual carb.s my advise is to remember to adjust their idle air flow separate (with a meter) before hooking them together. It all starts with them working and drawing the same air at the same time. I followed the steps in my Haynes manual (and after going back over it three times) seems to be working very well. Another hint, check and double check time first. Good Luck! (Mine has a 7.5 before top dead center. Made all the difference in the end.)

 

a good install instructions on the JK fourm

i brought a air flow meter off flea bay.... i aint got twin carbs.... maybe one day.
u tube tuning twin carbs seems simple enough with a air meter.
as other post said disconect linkage. and also make sure its moving both links at the same time when reconnected.
have fun...

 

I haven't got any tips however i will be doing this over the darker months.

Can you use a stock svda distributor or do you have to change to a 009, if you can use a svda how and which carburettor do you connect the vacuum pipe to.

back to the tips )

 

No tips Johnny I had mine fitted a couple of weeks and rolling roaded. Good luck you'll feel the benefit when it's done.

 

ended up stripping the engine coz it was filthy ....now ive stripped it down ,i thought --sod it ...engine out ...so tomoz ..its engine out and on a bench and have good look around ....my exhaust was put on crap ....and i might as well weld me corner while engine out ....i give myself work ..... quite enjoyable

 

If you have a 1600 engine then I would recommend getting a good linkage kit, I got the CSP belcrank one and its excellent.

 

The empi linkage is OK if you get a pair of these to replace the Empi ones. See below.

The rest of the linkage os ok.

My ICt's transformed the bay so much it can keep up with my mates stock 2.0 litre type 4 on the hills.
