- VK Berlina 202
hey guys, ive been avidly reading through the forums trying to get as much information on how to give my vk berlina black 202 carby fed with EST some more grunt on the road. i know its an old car but i know they have some great potential if worked the right way... so far with the info ive researched the best way to upgrade my vk would be a v6 or even v8 conversion. but for those on a budget (like me) these options were suggested:
CARBY
a weber carby from a XE/XF falcon. plus adapter from redline. (32, 34 or 36 ADM) not sure which one is THE BEST out of the three?
and also are double or triple SU's better? is it better to scrap the carby alltogether to run the double or triple SU's?
and what about the stromberg?
IGNITION
scrapping the EST system completely?
swapping my dizzy for one thats HEI or EFI... which specific dizzy is best?
and which seperate coil is best?
im thinking MSD all the way?
i want to get seperate dizzy and coil so that if one screws up i can easily replace one or the other. not the whole unit.
ive also read that direct ignition is possible too but is it worth it?
EXHAUST
electric thermo fan
pacemaker, genie, advanced or hurricane extractors
2 1/4 inch exhaust
eventually im hoping to have a gilmer belt drive running through it eventually too, i know it does SFA for performance but the sound is mad.
and an ACL rebuild kit eventually too.
im just trying to get as much as i can out of the old girl. any more suggestions will help me out heaps. thanks
