hi guys, i have an 1995, 1.6 liter, carb, 8 valve vitara. and i would like to prepare this vitara for competition. changing carburetors can be a good idea however i dont know which carbs can be the best for my vitara. i am recenlt looking for 2 tein carb kits but couldn't find a special kit for vitara orginal engine.. can you help me about this guys. ??

or any other suggestion to increase the torque and acceleration

i am looking forward your suggestions guys

There is a company in Belgium (IIRC) that sells a manifold for twin 40 or 45DCOEs, I can't remember their name but it has been posted here in the past. What sort of competition are you planning on competing in?

Thanks for your reply Rhinoman. we have a good parqour with various obstacles, small water pools and small hills.. etc do you have any other sugestions ?

Rhinoman, i couldnt find manifolts for 1.6 vitara engine. can you help me please

The manifold for the 1.3 will fit the 1.6 8V. A modified cam and a tubular exhaust manifold will give a good power increase.

thanks for reply, modified cam ? are you suggesting me to change cam shaft aswell ?

after putting these parts in my vitara, the waterproofness can be a problem. do you know where i can find airfilters and a snorkel ??

I run the Safari snorkel but i think that would be too restrictive for twin DCOEs, you would have to fabricate your own.

thanks for reply Rhinoman. some of my friends told me that these carburators usually fit to the engine horizontally and it is not good for offroad (good acceleration but no torque). do you have any clues about this ?

Eric has a set of Webers on a 1.6 Samuarai, have a look for his article in the archive, hopefully he'll spot this thread and chime in.

couldnt find that article can you help me to find it please ?
