gas setup in 308,hilux(pics),its letting me down,any advice
hey guys, i have a dedicated gas setup(pics below) and its a bit of a Frankenstein setup. it works, how well im not sure but i have no prob starting and have power so not sure.
anyway, i want to go to gas research cos its gotta be way less complected and i think it'll be less touchy.
has anyone got any advise how i could improve on this setup or should i just go the hole hog????
thanks ppl

is that a 425 on a baseplate? or does it still run full carb?
only way to make it more tidy would be to use a throttle body set up instead
but if it aint broke etc ..........
what do you what to acheive?
if you just want it neater then you may be out of luck gas systems are generally ugly imo
if you want more power then the throttle body setup may be the way to go(gas research style) maybe even twin system????
a good impco 425 on a holley base plate should produce enough power for most 4wd applications but that is you decision to make.....

not sure what it is, i kind of built it up from bits i had haha, i think it runs ok but im not sure its entirely bulletproof, as in it dose some funny things when i go 4x4'ing, like revs go up or down on idle and i have to keep adjusting on the carb, i think it all boils down to the diaphragm in the mixer being the problem, as it changes everything if its wet, hot, ect...
i think maybe a gas research setup would be a bit more tougher to outside elements.

Yeah gas research are the crem, $$$$$ though. Had gas on my old 308, it was a pig in every respect, gas research will be massive improvement.
But for the $$$, go fuel injection! Pic up 304 pretty cheap, more power, reliable, and not bad on fuel considering its a dirty 5.0 litre. Best thing ive done to date.

I don't understand what's wrong with it. As said if it's still got a petrol carby under there I guess you could ditch that and just run a throttle body. It does look like the top cover is bigger than it needs to be so you could probably clean it all up a bit... but I would personally want a good reason to replace the whole lot if it's working fine.
This is not legal advice.
