DCOE Installation FAQ


Recommended Posts

post-36281-0-79566400-1431003900_thumb.j

 

Great article on the installation of 2 x 40 DCOE carbs

I race a 2002 but updated the engine to an S14 so solved all problems of timing, fuel and air controls.

 

However I have just purchased a 73 2002 roundie which was an unfinished project.

The beast takes time to start and does not run at all well.

 

The previous owner installed an overhauled M10 engine from an E21  and added 2 x 40DCOE/32 carbs from an Alfa GTV 1750cc.

He blanked off the mechanical fuel pump and fitted an electric format.

 

Can anyone tell me what the correct jetting should be for these carbs on this motor?

correct jets are going to be the ones you tune it to run best with.  each engine is different.  use some of the guides as a starting point, then change them to get it running correctly (using your afr gauge).

The answer to this question might be buried somewhere in the many postings already here but I didn't see it.  What about the throttle cable itself coming from the accelerator pedal.  I've got the overhead webers now that haver the mechanical rod which links to the side of the overhead carb (32/36), but I understand I'll need to replace all of that with a cable pull system to move the throttle on the dual webers (and linkage).  Are there some tips or guidance to set that part up?

I use a Lokar cable to connect a good rod linkage to the pedal box.  It needs support arms at the pedal box and up at the carb for the cable sheath.

Yes, it is an Ireland manifold.  No, it is not a IE/Redline linkage.

 

Here is another recent client build..... IE manifold (port matched), Adams Fuel Rail and Cold Start Block Off's, 40's, Longer velocity stacks, custom filters, Pierce linkage, etc.  It's easy to get carried away, haha.

I'm just about to slap on my DCOE's. I have the IE water bypass to go from the back of the water pump to one side of the heater core. I just noticed there is a port on the back end of the block that used to route to the old intake manifold. Is it OK to just plug this port? I don't want to create any hot-spots on the block!

 

thx

I got an answer via the main thread here vs. in this FAQ. It's OK to cap this port. Original use is for the water choke on down draft carbs.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
