Hi All,
Am I right in thinking that you can use an 8v fuel dizzy, air flow meter and lines to run a 16v setup? I know the injectors and air piping will need changing.
Any thoughts?

Re: 8v Fuel Dizzy on a 16v Setup?
it ends up not getting top rpm/power as it can't get enough fuel through the system fast enough... i believe, Boumsong knows though, ask him!

I think you'd use a 16v warm up reg and tweak the fuel pressure.

Ah ha that sounds familiar and makes sense. Im sure people have been using 8v ones.Brunty wrote:I think you'd use a 16v warm up reg and tweak the fuel pressure.
Yu can also use the same fuel lines correct? Just need to change the injectors?

Re: 8v Fuel Dizzy on a 16v Setup?
As long as the thread between the 2 injectors is the same. Tho im sure you can use the same injectors on both the 8v and 16v - dont know if there is much difference in the flow rates but all the seals are the same so will fit fine
