locost tuning
How do
I'm new to the locost racing. Planning on racing the locost 750mc class next year. I've got a car and just learning my way round it.
It's just had the engine rebuilt and could do with setting up on a dyno , unless there's another option. Can anyone recommend a tuner? I
live in Lancashire
Cheers
Rog

Make sure you have the correct cam & carb fitted
Cam has to be a SKYcam as from next year.

A quick call to Matt at Procomp should set you on your way.
Or send it off to Randall

Cheers for that , I'll give procomp a call.
The engine was rebuilt using the sky cam so that's a good thing. I'm not sure about the carb. Still trying to get my head around all the
regs. What carb is compliant ?

Most use the origional 1300GT Carb Weber twin down draft DGV32
The inlet manifold must be as fitted as standard equipment by
FoMoCo to any 1300 Kent engine. It must remain standard in every
way shape and form, except for the matching of the inlet manifold
port faces to the standard port faces of the cylinder head with a
maximum intrusion into the manifold of 10mm. Any twin choke
downdraught carburettor with one maximum 23mm choke and one
maximum 24mm choke venturi may be used; the size of the
carburettor jets are free. Simultaneously opening twin chokes are not
permitted. Venturis must be integral to the carburettor; choke flaps
and mechanisms may be removed. Carburettors may not be modified
by the removal or addition of material. Press-fit fuel unions on the
carburettor body must be replaced with screw-in unions. The
carburettor must be fixed to the manifold using only the original
fixings in their original positions. Air filters are free
