Project Fredybender V2.1 : NA with an attitude for the track by fredybender

2 minute(s) of a 234 minute read

Instead of hitting the stores for boxing day, I decided to tackle the Weber DCOE 45's;

On the menu (literally, because I had to do this on the dining room table, as the shop is overcrowded, and no space is available, and I do need a very clean workspace to do this in...)

All new seals

New needle valve

New mains 160

New Emulsion tube F2

New air jet 210

New idle jet 55F9

New Venturi's (40 is the biggest one available for the 45's, so I'm border line with those carbs, for the power that will be produced )

Re-adjusting float height

Etc...

As you can see in the second and third picture, I even ground down the butterfly screws, to reduce air resistance... They say quality of workmanship is in the details... 

As per the Weber's handbook calculations and other calculations with the help of an engine Guru and his calculators taking in consideration Dynamic compression ratio, displacement, rod ratio, valve sizes, and cam specs; should have about 242HP @ 6850RPM with 529cc's per cylinder...
