TomasEs20 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hey guys! I am new here and I live in Costa Rica, i recently had to change the distribution system on my Z24 engine and had to rectify the engine block and changed all the valves for new ones, , and the engine has a carburetor too, but it seems that the car is still lacking a like push if you know what i mean , so if you guys have any ideas or suggestions on how I can increase horsepower i would greatly appreciate it. I will post pictures of my car as soon as I can! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1994SEV6 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 You seem surprised that Z24s have carbs? Of course they do. I'm selling some car parts and some guy called me to buy a carb for his Z24, he was telling me the EXACT same thing you typed. Just curious, why did you have to replace your valves? Maybe in a heavy Pathy, but these engines aren't really known for "feeling" weak. Short of extreme measures such as a turbo or blower, you won't get very much additional power. You can do the go-to mods like performance exhaust, synthetic fluids all around, cold air intake. On an engine with 106hp from the factory, you won't really be getting any huge gains.

This should however get you on the right track of having a snorkel on a carby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
