I find it hard to believe it's the easier option to use bike carbs, but if you have them already...
This is the carb I'm using: here's one on ebay I bought correct jets from Southern Carburettors for ~£10 Some other recommendations can be found here: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=155444 I think you're making an awful lot of work for yourself, which may well not work very well at the end (although will sound boss) Last edited by mylittletony; May 15th, 2015 at 11:35. Reason: upon re-reading sounded very harsh, re-worded more nicely :) |

Well yeah buying a Weber is probably easier than bike carbs but I thought the bike carbs are just a bit different. Ok thanks I'll take a little look. Ok fair enough well at least its doable.

Ha well it won't be pulling it that much to bits. I've got the carbs now and I'll be making a mani for it soon enough although there are more pressing things I need to fix on it first before I upgrade it. I might put a thread up at some point actually doing a bit of a guide on the bike carb conversion as I can't find anything on it online.

Bear in mind the MOT emission limits.

Will do but the guy who MOT's my cars is a friend and usually 'forgets' to do it

I need advice for my FI convertion
Hello guys! I wanted to ask because i know there are people who know what to do here. My question is- Can I and is it worth it to convert my Volvo 460 1.8 89' from a carb to fuel injection. I inherited this car from my grandfather and this is my first car and i want to learn how to do some work on it. Any tips and answers will help a lot!

Not really the right group for the 400 series
The conversion can be done, you would be best with a full fuel injection car as a donor. The EFI wiring can be unpicked, it is common to many Renaults of the era. You could consider swapping to the B20F or going down the 16v path. The engines are common to the 340's so these conversions are well covered in those models |
