1.6i Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) How about... Two Ton Turd or.... Tyranasorous Turkey Titty 422790[/snapback] -So what do you guys rec I start out with on mains @ sea level with no air box with dual K&N's? I say 340-350s?? 27.5 pilot?? stock needle?? or should i change out my needle?? i moved it up for the K&N's when i installed them last year, shit was bogging hard from 1/4-3/4 throttle. After i moved it, it runs perfect. Also I have 280 mains right now... thanks... Edited October 5, 2005 by 1.6i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 If you're running at 280 now with no airbox, I'd say try a 320 to start off with...280 sounds lean to me but your elevation / location may have a role in the lower jet sizes. If you haven't installed the K&N pod filters then 340/350 sounds about right to me. I wouldn't mess with the needle until AFTER you try the pipes out. Did you get your pipes?

Did you get your pipes? 423244[/snapback] no pipes just yet, but i have some t5's in mind if the rocket's dont come through.. When I installed the K&N's last year with no air box it was bogging crazy 1/4-3/4 throttle, then I moved the needle, ran perfect.. so yeah i was thinking maybe start out @ 340's? I also read that moving the needle is not a good idea? any ideas on this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Moving the needle is not a bad thing, I just wouldn't do it until after you see what it runs like with the pipes on there. Different pipes like different settings, as long as your plugs are good it doesn't matter what needle setting you run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilarious Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Different pipes like different settings, as long as your plugs are good it doesn't matter what needle setting you run I gots a question on that. I got a good main jet setting, nice chocolate smoke ring on the base of the porcelin and nice chocolate color on the tip of the white part of the plug. I have my needle set in the stock position. I took my plugs out the other day after runnin a tank of gas through it and my plugs were kind of a grey white color in the middle of the porcelin. I have tried richening up the needle but it doesnt run as well. It idles like a purring kitten and runs like a scalded ape at full throttle. Is this a problem in the midrange though? About the only time I jam the throttle (duh) is when im taking off. I guess from reading the plug that its lean in the midrange? but when i raise the needle a notch its acts like its too rich.

2003LimitedBanshee Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 WOW, after following all the threads with this common theme. I would run a different set of pipes even if I gave up 5 HP. Sad to see stuff like this happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
