My First TS1, fitting advice needed.
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:19 pm
Hi All
I am about to finally fit my first 225 TS1 kit, the bottom end has all been sorted, crank bearing, 5 plate clutch etc, etc. The kit is totally standard as supplied by AF, so I was wondering are there any tips or pointers I should look out for when it goes on. I do intend to match the casing to the transfers first before it gets fitted so this will be taken care of.
The reason I ask is that I have heard about the boost port getting restricted by the stops so a 5mm packer is needed, then I may need a new manifold to aid frame clearance, it goes on and on. I don't mind getting these parts if required but I just want to get it right first time hence why I have asked for advice from some people far more experienced with the kit. I have a Devtour exhaust that will get fitted and the carb is a 28mm PWK so any jetting or needle advice will also be welcome. I have a selection of jets and was going to start in the region of 40, 140 with a JJK middle clip.
Like I say any constructive advice would be welcome
