PhilW 329 Report post Posted May 7 I always had it my head the Turbo Esprit had Dellorto DHLA 45 carbs. Just checked and the service notes say DHLA 40H. 907 engines had 45's. I assume this is right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhilW 329 Report post Posted May 9 Thanks. I have this in the service notes. I have spoken to Dellorto who have the exact correct kit for the car. More entertainment coming my way I think! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowrx 77 Report post Posted May 10 Would love to hear discussion about the rationale behind the different choke sizes, and how they performed. USA option being suspect as to emissions limitations, but still going to a smaller choke in a larger body for the HC is interesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drdoom 159 Report post Posted May 10 Not much effect expected between these differing carbs at this power level and configuration. 210 - 220 HP from a turbo'd 2.2 won't lean heavily on the choke size in my view. What was the restrictor diameter on the WRX rally cars of about 15 years back, when torque levels were on par with top-tier NASCAR V-8's? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
