First Start.....again - Weber DCOE45 Supercharged Classic Mini

[@grayfool]

Oh yeah, now we're talking. So close. Great stuff.

[@Thecarislife]

That video was great Cole. Nice update

[@classicminidiy]

Thanks 👍 Wish it was a little more but I had to share the first start up. :-)

[@criscross572]

A friend of mine used nozzle cleaners for burning Gear to open up the jets on his webber's. You can obviously only go up in size so be careful.

[@davesnothereman699]

My dad has a 350 olds with a Magnuson MC220 twin supercharger setup with two Weber DCOE carbs. He has had a hard time getting it tuned correctly.

[@sh3dart]

Now this I'm happy to see 👌

[@classicminidiy]

:-D Thanks!

[@phmiller25]

Nice good to see that coming along. Nice merch too

[@phmiller25]

Like the Christmas theme!

[@deangaryjames]

Another great mini video, cant wait for the roadtest

[@classicminidiy]

Thanks, me either! Hahaha

[@mrennick]

Cool to see!

[@classicminidiy]

Due in large part to you! Thank you 😊

[@motivatelife2137]

Just want to say hi and love your videos but can you plz make a video on how your KZbin channel started and a tour of the shop and your minis.

[@classicminidiy]

Thank you! I only have one mini. :-) But would love to do a tour video at some point.

[@paulhavelock8025]

I'm surprised it is that far out as generally Vmax jet to suit. Are you 100% sure it is not fuel supply? Just a thought mate.

[@classicminidiy]

This was a dcoe45 provided by a wonderful viewer I was going to use with the vmax kit. Stuart has been helping me get it jetted since it wasn’t the one that was part of his full SC kit

[@mesco8200]

My mechanical fuel pump was useless, solid facet was not enough, I needed to fit a large electric pump to get enough fuel rate. Will need trimmed to around 5psi however

[@jugau9928]

Nice build! Why have you stop using the holley? Anthony

[@classicminidiy]

Hey! Thank you! I got into why I dropped the Holley in this episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYfGioughZWEgK8

[@mazdaman1286]

An SU HIF 6 would work well with a suitable ram pipe. A lot less problematic and almost as much power

[@classicminidiy]

The SU carbs unless mounted right up against the supercharger have an issue with carb icing on these setups or getting enough fuel up to the combustion chambers. The weber, with its pump jets actually is better at getting the fuel where it needs to be fast. :-)

[@SunnyMiniuk]

exciting times! looks great dude!

[@classicminidiy]

Thanks Andy!

[@minimanshed8910]

Insert gif of.homer drooling 😛

[@darryl3392]

Cant beat old school tech as it just works. What are you going to do with the sniper EFI I would love to play around with one of those on a DGV manifold and see what the difference would be on a dyno. Hiff44/HS6 pull vs Sniper efi

[@classicminidiy]

I actually sold it on to someone else to tinker with. Hopefully they end up having more luck than me. 😅

[@rhyslister2754]

Been having some very similar issues with my setup, idles and revs fine but the second you put it under load it bogs down. Will try some slightly larger jets and stuff!

[@MiniPerformance]

if the plugs are black its too rich which is what i thing of as bogging down,

[@scarlettsgarage1]

ideally you need to put it on a rolling road , or get a Wideband gauge so you can see what ares need adjusting

[@jjmac3561]

You shouldn't mount the weber solidly to the supercharger, you should use flexible mounts and Thackeray washers.

[@classicminidiy]

Normally this is the case and you're totally right. However the maker of this kit actually specifically says not to use the flexible mounts on this application after years of testing it, and having better reliability and performance solidly mounting to the supercharger.

[@joshquiroz]

What chokes are you using for the 45’s? Why 45’s over 40’s?

[@thedjse]

Well done cole!!! Been a long time coming

[@classicminidiy]

Yes sireee. And you’ve seen all my annoyed cussing WhatsApp videos 🤣

[@FranciskitoR8]

Great video!, how many horse power do you won? thanks

[@andremakky5048]

Hello there!! Fan of your videos!. I am i process with the same projekt. Do you now how much boost the supercharger makes?

[@classicminidiy]

It all depends on your pulley sizes. I ended up moving to a turbo instead so I didn’t get a good read on what my boost was. Stuart at VMAX can help you figure out what pulley size you need based on your boost target.

[@williamharris8955]

Great video and also great first start up for the second time , lol , can’t wait until it’s ready for a test drive , nice work Cole :)

[@classicminidiy]

Thanks William! :-)

[@andyfry1970]

Great stuff Cole, nice to see it all back together. Have you got to order the appropriate jets for the carb or take it to a tuner for them to recommend suitable ones?

[@classicminidiy]

Thankfully I am working with Stuart pretty closely so he has helped me determine the right sizes to try next. I ordered basically all the sizes above what I have so I can test. Then I'll return what I don't use. I have the wideband in the car now so I can get pretty damn close in my driveway. Then I can get it a to an Alfa specialist locally to bring it the final stretch.

[@andyfry1970]

@@classicminidiy Hi Cole, thanks for replying... Sounds like Stuart has been really supportive in your build and I should imagine clients in general, big respect to him hey! What is the wideband? So you will be able to get it fairly close with the new jets and let the Alfa garage do the fine tuning?

[@MiniPerformance]

@@classicminidiy Cant beat a bit of diy tuning, you can set up a camera(s) to monitor the afr and revs while you drive so you can see which bit of the rev range needs a tweak.

[@mikakolari3201]

Could you tell me how to choose the right jets and emulsion tubes for your supercharged engine?

[@classicminidiy]

I am going to be covering it in my next episode. :-)

[@jakelucco6540]

Hey man I’m moving to North Carolina in march, Jacksonville area, i have a 89 rover 30 and a 03 r53 for about 2 years, would it be cool if i could come learn some stuff about classic minis? I’m still figuring out this community😂 p.s love the vids bro I’ve watched all of them twice by now😂

[@AndrewPepper]

Where do you get the lamp brackets for the spots?

[@classicminidiy]

Hey they were custom made using flat steel and some captive nuts in the front valance.
