ZD44TT Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I think my cars idling too high around 1,000rpm.........should it be around 800rpm? Quote

zedevan Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 i know my car rocks hehe driving in peak hour everyday drops about 50kms off the amount i get from a tank, but i guess it depends how much other driving i do to really be able to understand the full effect it has... one of my managers has one of those TDI golf's and he gets 900km's from $60 of deisel...does anyone know if hte ld28's are more fuel efficent? lol Quote
dave_hl Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 well ive got an LD28 crank and i dont get at all good effeciency. but im guessing there'd be too many variables at play for that to mean anything. a tune may fix my effeciency to a degree though... hmmm... Quote
mossy Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Is this the only screw to adjust idle, my z idles about 1200rpm at the moment but backing off that screw won't do anything as its not touching the plate anyway. Quote
S30Mike Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 haha, my idles so lumpy its awesome! ranges between 500Rpm and 1.100Rpm! Sits there rocking around VROOM..VROOM..VROOM up and down every few seconds haha. EDIT: william when did you get another Z??? Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted August 8, 2009 Moderators Posted August 8, 2009 You may have to adjust the screws that adjust the butterfly in each carb; they are near the base where the carb bolts to the manifold. Its a small screw with a spring under it. But you will need a balancer as well as that screw adjusts the airflow through each carby. If you loosen them both equally, you may get away with it. Quote
chris240 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Will, did we all miss something here !! I doubt thats a pic of your vw golf !! Quote

Thanks, I think I'll duck down to DJM to get Daniel to quickly do it otherwise I'll probably stuff it up. Quote
