XF carbie on L28 MQ...will it work?

Heard a rumour that bolting this carbie in place of the standard L28 carbie gives a decent power increase.

Anyone got any comments or had any experience with this? Not even sure how well the carbie will even mate up to start with.

Cheers

I said it in one of the other threads, I (and four other mates) have tried all sorts of combos, even triple webbers, The 32/36 is a rever but little torque, the 320/350 holley has good power right through but I couldn't be bothered stuffing around with it to get the thing to stop flooding down STEEEEP embankments, The single side draught webber was a real good setup, the DYNO tune guys recomended the XF carby (there are two types leaded/unleaded I think) but never bothered fussing around with it, I think it would have been a good choice for $75 plus adapters if needed.

I was looking into running a turbo on my GQ, I was told to use a XF carbie.
Thats my 2cents worth.

A 3.3 litre XF carby would suit the 2.8 well and you'd want the 4.1 for the GQ.

Save you rejetting...

If you do put one on the GQ let me know how it goes.

What are the Nissan carbies like? Are they worth changing?

OK will look for a good 3.3l XF carby and see how it goes.

Does anyone know how well they bolt up?

32/36 Carb goes well but as said before previously on thread - not as much torque.... installed better cam to solve this problem.

INJECTION people - get cheap 280ZX motor or wreck... simple really.

Holley sucks SOOOOO much fuel I find..
