This week at Hi Comp.
Rare as hen’s teeth, this Mitsubishi Sigma in for a dyno tune.
When this car showed up and the owner said it had twin Webers, I was expecting side draft DCOE’s.
I certainly wasn’t expecting 2x Weber 34 ADM carbs, as fitted to the Ford XE/XF Falcon.
After 34 years of tuning carbys, I have never seen two of these paired together on a 4 cylinder engine before.
Nonetheless, they are still carbys, and I haven’t met a carburettor that I couldn’t tune.
We reconfigured the linkages, throttle cable, and fuel lines, regraphed the distributor, and jetted the carbs, until the 2.6 litre Astron engine was running as close as possible to perfection.
The high mileage Astron didn’t do too bad, at just over 130 hp, but now drives smoothly with no flat spots, or fouling plugs, with sharpness and responsiveness restored.
Thank you Daniel for your patience and patronage.
I know you waited a long time to get in.
You were a great guy to deal with, and a true gentleman.
It was a blast working on this rare and unique gem.
Enjoy your extra power.
